Can you imagine the hue and cry from the left if these nonpolitical staff were anything other than helpful to constituents? There's no hypocrisy. Gardner and Coffman's professional staff are doing their jobs, plain and simple. The exchange was a bipartisan proposal. Meanwhile, Gardner and Coffman are trying to protect the public by exposing the disaster that is most of Obamacare.
Read the polls? The public gets it.
" . . . helpful . . . "??!!??
it would almost be nice to hear you admit that . . .
. . . if we didn't already know what an incredible tool you are!
It's nice that their staff people are giving correct information. I think you miss the larger point ColPols is making here, though. Please reread the last paragraph. I do see how you would find staff doing something right as a jumping off point for criticism exasperating. It seems a bit of a stretchy way to make a point to me, too, even though I agree with the point in question.
"Stretchy way to make a point?" Damned if they do and damned if they don't is more like it. If the congressional office staff had told callers what their bosses think about Obamacare, Colorado Pols would be screaming bloody murder. Instead, they are professionals and they are doing their jobs. That's doesn't make the views of their bosses any less valid.
I was agreeing with you that people doing their jobs correctly was not a good basis for making a point about their pols bosses' stand on and intent toward ACA. Bet you didn't even notice since I'm a "libtard" . Have a nice day, Modster.
You are a libtard. I personally wish that Republican staff would not send anyone to Obamacare. #OptOut
Moderatus – don't confuse the issue with facts.
Actually, Moderatus never confuses the issue with facts. He just confuses the issue with confusion.
I like Moderatus. When he's got the facts on his side s/he uses them well. When not, s/he's really good at tying all the logic up in knots. Gotta respect someone who does that well.
And in this case, s/he raises a very fair point.
Congressional office staff isn't "nonpolitical" – they're not randomly assigned.
I am happy to hear that they're rising above the political fray in directing people to the appropriate resources – too bad their bosses aren't listening to the advice they're giving or the experiences they're relating.
Cory Gardner has had his own experience with cancellation and hiked premiums. He already knows.
You must be kidding to uet that discredited piece of propaganda as an example.
Wow. Sorry about hitting all the wrong keys. That would be use, not uet.
Cory Gardner never revealed why his health plan was becoming so expensive, or why it was being cancelled in the first place given that his plan should have been grandfathered.
Cory Gardner has no credibility criticizing the ACA until he provides details behind his otherwise fact-less claim.
