Mike Pence: Fearmongering lying asshat

From the email I received:

"I am deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold ObamaCare. This ruling erodes the freedom of every American, opening the door for the federal government to legislate, regulate, and mandate nearly every aspect of our daily lives under the guise of its taxing power. Today’s decision affirms a massive tax increase on Hoosiers and is wholly inconsistent with the principles of personal responsibility and limited government that are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Congress must act immediately to fully repeal ObamaCare and protect Hoosier families, small businesses and family farms from its tax increases and mandates.

If ObamaCare is not repealed in full, Hoosiers will face higher health care costs and increased taxes. It is estimated that the ObamaCare tax on medical devices will cost Indiana more than 2,000 jobs in the medical device sector. While the changes in the punitive measures included in ObamaCare appear to give Indiana more options, that is small compensation for higher taxes and a government mandate that reduces the freedom of every Hoosier.

This national debate is far from over. Indiana and other states need the freedom and flexibility to develop health care solutions that best meet the needs of our citizens, without interference from Washington. We must face our challenges in health care with the belief in more freedom, not more government."

And since I live in Indiana, I also get the-moron-former lobbyist-fuck stick Dan Coats!Who is also misleading and lying to constituents:

"On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a historic decision that will impact every Hoosier. The Court decided to uphold President Obama’s health care law, which greatly expands the size and scope of the federal government.

I am very disappointed with the ruling, and I continue to believe this unaffordable and unpopular health care law is a massive intrusion of the federal government into the lives of Americans.

Although the Court ruled the health care law is constitutional, it does not mean it is good policy.
Obamacare has made the nation’s health care system worse, not better.

Hoosier families and businesses will be faced with higher taxes, increased costs and burdensome mandates under this law.

The work to reform our health care system is far from over. I am committed to working with my colleagues to repeal the President’s health care law and give Hoosiers – not Washington – the power to make their own health care decisions.

The American people will have the opportunity to decide if they want a Congress and White House committed to more taxing, more spending and more federal mandates or one that will work to reduce spending, empower individuals and give states greater flexibility.
