AFP Trots Out Another Dubious “Obamacare Victim”

[Cigar]

A press release from conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity announces a press conference tomorrow at the Colorado Capitol, going after Democratic Sen. Mark Udall (who else?) for his support of Obamacare (what else?):


This Wednesday Americans for Prosperity – Colorado will hold a press conference on the west steps of the state capitol with AFP President Tim Phillips, Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, and Carol Perry, a Coloradan whose health insurance premiums have spiked due to ObamaCare. The presser will explain AFP’s goals in holding Senator Mark Udall accountable for his support for ObamaCare.

With Senator Bill Cadman, AFP President Tim Phillips, and ObamaCare victim Carol Perry

West Steps State Capitol

Being inclined as we are, after so many "Obamacare horror stories" have collapsed under minimal scrutiny, to approach supposed victims of the Affordable Care Act trotted out by Americans for Prosperity with a jaundiced eye, we did some basic checking on "Obamacare victim" Carol Perry. And once again, we're really glad we did! Pay attention, reporters covering tomorrow's presser:

According to the Colorado Secretary of State's office, Carol Perry of Douglas County has donated thousands of dollars to Republican candidates, including Mitt Romney, Ryan Frazier on the federal side, and Tom Tancredo's 2010 gubernatorial campaign. Perry's Secretary of State records also show a donation of $100 for an unknown purpose to Kelly Maher, now the director of conservative group Compass Colorado. We're not sure why that donation to Maher is even in the campaign finance system, as we don't think Maher has been a candidate. But needless to say, it's a huge red flag when evaluating Perry's authenticity.

Perry also appears to be a frequent witness in favor of Republicans on a wide variety of issues. We've found records of her testifying against last year's gun safety bills. In the 2012 elections, Perry was a public face of My Purse Politics (photo above right), a a project of the Conservative Women's Alliance aimed at turning out the woman conservative vote. But one of the most amusing, and telling, press hits for Carol Perry came last June in testimony on the lack of respect for "political diversity" at the University of Colorado:


Carol Perry, who testified to the board, said she would never send her daughters to CU because of what she perceives to be a persistent liberal bias.

Okie dokie then! :rollseyes:

Public Medicine is another GOPer-killer like Social Security. That's what this is all about: people who are automatically going to vote Democrat on the one issue of fear of losing their healthcare.

I asked someone from Deep Redneck, Tennessee, how the people in his area voted. "Always Republican," he said, "except for those old enough to start worrying about Social Security. Those people would immediately switch to the Democrats for only that reason."

SEN. MARK UDALL (D-CO): "If you have an insurance policy you like, doctor or medical facility that provides medical services to you, you'll be able to keep that doctor or that insurance policy." (FOX21 News interview (http://www.fox21news.com/news/story.aspx?id=345468#.UjuCrD_heac), 09.2009)

Here he is like a big green parrot squawking out what politifacts called "The Lie of the Year".


NOW WORSE THAN THOUGHT: 335,500 Coloradans Have Now Lost Their Health Insurance Published on January 15, 2014 by ColoradoPeakPolitics Senator Mark Udall promised if you liked your plan you could keep it. That was a slap in the face of the now 335,500 Coloradans… and counting… who have lost their health plans. Unfortunately, this new number earned just a footnote in The Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/politics/ci_24911890/regulators-clear-udalls-staff-intimidation-obamacare-cancellations)‘s latest article. Since we were last updated at the beginning of November, another 80,000 Coloradans have received cancellation letters. http://coloradopeakpolitics.com/2014/01/15/now-worse-than-thought-335500-coloradans-have-now-lost-their-health-insurance/

335,500 of your constituents lose their health insurance after Udall says...", there's going to be a price to pay if you say "If you have an insurance policy you like, doctor or medical facility that provides medical services to you, you'll be able to keep that doctor or that insurance policy."

My wife's insurance premium went up $100 per month because of the "Affordable Care Act." Is she a liar too?

Why don't the dems just trot out the millions of winners? That would shut the naysayers up.

Then where will those folks be?
