GOP Rep freaks out when confronted with proof of ACA success

Amazingly this exchange took place on CNN where Steve Beshear Governor of Kentucky explained that for states who choose to implement their own exchanges - as was intended by the Affordable Care Act - there "Glitches" have been few and far between.


Later the CNN Hosts talks to Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC), to get their usual "other side" ot the "both sides" view - only to have her attempt to completely contradict and dismiss everything that Gov. Beshear had just said.

Only something interesting happened, the CNN Host wasn't having it.

Just like Dr. Frankenstein learned - his creation turned on him; and he perished in his folly and his hubris.

I think Karl finally understands the book now.

have asked her if she had any leads in the AR15 that was stolen from her garage this past week. Being a responsible gun owner, she must know something.

..... this tea party thing would not answer the question or talk about what the
Governor of KY had just said.

BTW i used the ACA web site two days ago and it worked just fine.

good job! these talking heads need to "grill" these nut-jobs more! Gov. Beshear was great! He's right, relax, take a breath, it's early, they'll fix the web site. Thanks for posting.

They have complete control of everything and are pushing through their agenda quickly. Let's see how the voters react at the next election.

THE GOP WOMAN from North Carolina is more or less calling the Governor of Kentucky a liar!!! What a creep she is!! People of her state need to remove her lying butt.
