Wow.....surprised at the brazen stupidity of this woman. Hopefully, I'm not equally surprised at the surprised at the Louisiana electorate in November. This woman needs to be shown the door in the worst way. Hopefully we can unite to run her arse out.

quote:

But in an interview today, Landrieu vowed to campaign aggressively against GOP foe Bill Cassidy’s opposition to the Medicaid expansion in the state, offered a spirited defense of the law — while acknowledging it has some problems — and even insisted he’d be at a “disadvantage” over the issue


What kind of lies and half truths can she cook up to do this?

quote:

“That would be a real setback for the people of Louisiana, many of whom are working 30, 40, 50 hours a week but find themselves caught in the Jindal gap because the state refuses to expand health care options to the working poor at little to no expense,” Landrieu told me, referring to Governor Bobby Jindal’s opposition to the expansion


Did I miss something and hospitals are now turning away folks?

quote:

And even with all the law’s setbacks, we’re seeing benefits for thousands of people in Louisiana.”


Lets see some hard numbers

quote:

“This race will be won not on the president’s record, but on my record…The Affordable Care Act won’t be the centerpiece of my campaign. The centerpiece will be my leadership and ability to deliver for the people of my state, no matter who the president is.”


Absolute bold faced lie....what in the hell has she done? She did a great job getting the moratorium lifted early? Gotten complete funding for coastal restoration? She is an Obama shill plain and simple...lets not be the cause the Republicans fail to take back the Senate. We can truly make obama a lame duck this fall.

I'm of the opinion that she doubles down on stupid every time she opens her mouth.

Title should read "doubles down on stupid" not as you did. Downs is the term for trisomy 21 the cause of Downs syndrome bro.

At best, it costs the State 7.1 billion over the next ten years. That's if the Feds (who can't afford it either) don't change the reimbursement rate. And no one knows what happens at the end on ten years.

That's hardly "little to no costs."

If someone is working 40 or 50 hours a week and doesn't have insurance, its their own damn fault.

Jindal gap


This phrase must be in the latest DNC talking points. I've seen it several times over the last few days. I am, in NO way, a Bobby Jindal supporter. However, I do love the way he gets under liberals' skin.

Yeah, I'm just not seeing it.

Well, duh, I don't think anyone would expect different, and I don't really see this as stupid much less brazen.
quote:

Again, this isn't exactly news, nor do I see it as necessarily stupid.
quote:

I really don't see what's rolling on the floor funny about this. I may disagree with her here, but I don't think this is stupid.
quote:

This race will be won not on the president’s record, but on my record

Okay...
quote:

The Affordable Care Act won’t be the centerpiece of my campaign

I bet not, THAT would be dumb. She should run on the offshore revenues she helped secure.
quote:

The centerpiece will be my leadership and ability to deliver for the people of my state, no matter who the president is.”

That just looks like boiler plate political rhetoric. Nothing dumb, new, or doubling down.

Do I support Landrieu? No. Will I vote for Landrieu? No. Do I agree with all she said that's posted here? No. But your OP really has nothing, and doesn't indicate anyone doubling down on anything. It looks more like Landrieu trying to distance herself from an unpopular president, and at the same time take advantage of an unpopular governor of the opposition party.

In short, TJ, I think you're trying too hard.

I wish she'd do a commercial with Kermit the Frog.

Ms. Piggy and Kermit says, can't we all get along.
