Ducking Vilsack

January 1, 2009

Good Morning,

Christie Vilsack has always been proud and vocal about her support of President Obama’s re-election, his wasteful spending sprees and crushing hyper-regulatory regime. However, Vilsack continues to pretend she won’t already continue this consistent support as she dodges taking a stance on Obama’s big-government healthcare overhaul:

“‘I don’t go back and try to figure out what I would have voted for,’ Vilsack said.” (Ames Tribune, 4/12/2012)

Clearly, Vilsack’s fear of political repercussions has forced her to try and hide her allegiance to taxing, spending and regulating. However Iowans know her true priority is to defend President Obama’s healthcare takeover:

“…Vilsack believes Americans will support the reforms as they learn more about them.” (Washington Post, 4/13/2012)

“‘It’s always good to make a bill better, but you can’t make a bill better if you don’t have it in the first place,’ Vilsack said.” (Ames Tribune, 4/12/2012)

NRCC COMMENT: “It shouldn’t be that difficult for Vilsack to admit she would have voted for the government takeover of healthcare, but this politician continues to cover up her true addiction to the toxic big-government priorities that have increased healthcare costs, cut Medicare and caused families to lose the care they have.” — NRCC spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
