The Republican former lieutenant governor is locked in a heated primary with Ken Buck to win the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate race. Norton has locked up the support of many party officials such as former Gov. Bill Owens, but Buck has remained a threat thanks to support from the right and from tea party groups. Health care is Norton's signature issue, and she returned to it at an early morning appearance in June with Attorney General John Suthers. It was the first day of a "repeal Obamacare" tour the two took around the state.
"It's striking at the core of who we are as a free and independent people," Norton told an audience of about 15 at the tour's first stop, a conference room at the South Metro Chamber of Commerce.
She doubts the health-care bill could be repealed unless President Barack Obama is voted out of office in 2012. Until then, she said Republicans in Congress can "starve the beast" and deny funding to enforce the bill's requirement that every American have health insurance. – More -
