"Congresswoman Jenkins has a new, negative television ad that claims that I said that I love Obamacare," Wakefield whines. "That is a lie, plain and simple. I have never said that I love the Affordable Care Act because it does have flaws that need to be fixed."
Wakefield did not elaborate on what she believes to be the Obamacare flaws that need to be fixed. Of course, saying that something or someone has flaws does not mean we do not love that something or someone. For example, we love our spouses and children, regardless of their flaws.
Apparently, Wakefield's "I don't love Obamacare" stance is a relatively new one. On her personal Facebook page, she has a March 23, 2013 post in which she "liked" a post from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Facebook page. That page was promoting a bumper sticker with the message "I 'Heart' Obamacare."
As far as lying, in a May 8, 2014 article in The Iola Register, Wakefield is quoted as saying, "The majority of Americans like the new health insurance law." In truth, there has never been a poll that has shown Obamacare has majority support. In fact, in July a Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that Obamacare is more unpopular than ever. Just 37% of those poll had a favorable view of the law.
