Shortly after 1 p.m. Monday, Michelle Nunn declared herself a Democratic candidate in the 2014 race for U.S. Senate, the very seat once held by her father.Cool. Another kid of a politician who think they can run for elected office on their parent's name...wait a sec:
Nunn will come under immediate pressure to weigh in on issues of the day. She tackled a few on Monday:A Democrat who is a critic of Obamacare and thinks it needs to be fixed but not eliminated? PERFECT! In the words of Sarah Palin's cooky pastor: "Make her way my God. Bring finances her way even for the campaign in the name of Jesus. ... Use her to turn this nation the other way around."
— On the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare: “It’s difficult for small businesses. I think there are things that are not working with ACA. That’s something that needs to be changed,” she said. But Nunn’s emphasis was on fixing health care reform, not eliminating it. She also pointed out that, by rejecting an expansion of Medicaid under the new law, Georgia was depriving 25,000 veterans of health care coverage.
Democrats who think Obamacare is broken but can be fixed: PERFECT! A few aspects of it are broken, but most of it is wonderful. Kids can stay on their parent's plans until they're 26, pre-existing conditions aren't grounds for coverage denial, no coverage caps, women (who often lead healthier lives than men) aren't forced to pay higher premiums, all reasons the ACA needs to stay law.
