Landrieu: I’ll Vote for New Government Health Care, If You Fix Old Government Health Care
Updated 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Source: http://biggovernment.com/
There has been a lot of talk about Sen. Mary Landrieu’s new-found 100 million reasons to support Sen. Reid’s health care bill. As she channeled her inner-Hamlet about whether or not she would support her majority Leader on a procedural vote today, Sen. Landrieu won language that would pump at least another $100 million into Louisiana’s Medicaid system.
Many have framed this as Sen. Landrieu “selling” her vote, which makes me think that she’s a pretty cheap ...

Wow, Harry Reid is one hell of a pimp….getting the US taxpayers to anti up $300 million for this hooker …..
Congress=crooks
This woman is nothing but a polictical prostitute. Mary will need her new found bargining skills when she gets voted out of office and is forced to work a corner in the French Quarter.
eye for a eye,tooth for a tooth, money is money and vote is her hands alone with others ,higher taxes,government run plan all or noothening…It must be nice to know that you have the best health care in the USA but they want to take everything from us and control,while they eat steak,pototos, roast,and live very sweet while we are living under them….they do not want us to have a good life…Just ...

Give every Senator 100 million to stay home. The country would be lots better off.
I just don't understand why everyone is bitching we have the best politicians money can buy.
Jindal's quietness doesn't necessarily reflect that he isn't hard at work restoring intergrity to Louisiana and attracting with corporate tax cuts new jobs. He is. Actions count more than words. Palin abandoned her governor spot.
Landrieu’s vote is like a "cheap" date. http://bit.ly/4LZh0k She underestimates herself--and her electorate!
Just awaful and despicible. I never, ever, thought I would be a day when our government would be so unresponsive to the people. THey have convinced themselves that they will repeat 1994 if they fail to pass anything (altough the reality is the exact opposite..anyone courageous eough to stop this will be a hero). Completes the story of how completely out of touch they are. It is going to happen, short ... See all content
Landrieu may be the most expensive call girl in history. At least not since the movie Pretty Woman anyway. Even though she sold her vote for $100 million, I am sure she would have sold for much less.
Her brother, Mitch, is Lieutenant Governor and doesn't even own a house here anymore. He spends his time "soliciting" for tourism and Lawd knows whatever else that brood of vipers can concoct. Katrina wrecked their playhouse and they have been attempting to rebuild in the same places that went under. If Acorn can't resurrect her colony of voters, rumor is she won't be running ...

I will not capitulate. You?
Louisiana just got an additional $100-300 million of our tax dollars. There is NO reason for ANY patriot–conservative, independent, or otherwise–to spend a single DIME of our hard-earned after-tax dollars in that state now that our pre-tax dollars have been spent on this bribe. No tourism/business dollars for Louisiana!!
She's a crook!
Inflation, high taxes, no growth, rotten economy. We are threatening to make the 1970s look like the good ol' days. Can you say 1930s all over again?
I hate to admit this, but I think you are right.
The question now is whether or not the money that swayed this vote will be enough to sway her next. I've mentioned more than once that these wealthy politicians have nothing to lose by forfeiting their seats. Hell, Pelosi has even admitted they were willing to lose a few to get this passed. Perhaps they asked for volunteers and Landrieu stepped up. Of course we all know they are going to say they ... See all content
thats a real good saying, very true. how can we solve the worlds problems when we cant solve our own. Im baffled that our rich country is in debt to china whos people are so poor, how can a rich man be in debt to a poor man?
evenge, that is why the saying goes dig two graves when you go out for revenge, one for your enemy and one for yourself
we have lost a lot of good young men and women in our pursuit of revenge and our arrogance that we can solve the worlds problems
There is a rumor that Reid also promised Landrieu a lifetime supply of his and Pelosi's and Obama's special brand of toilet paper, the one with the Constitution printed on it.
saw a real sad documentary on a soldier returned from Afghanistan with a traumatic brain injury, poor young guy couldnt do nothing but lay in a hospital bed, and he had a young wife too, very sad. Just makes me wonder for what?
I don't know that we achieved nothing, but we have stayed way too long in Afghanistan.
Money poured into New Orleans is money thrown away thanks to the likes of ACORN, Mary Landrieu, and the Democrats there in general. Honest, deserving people in New Orleans could not get help. The crooks got richer. And still are.
Things have not changed there since, say 1865.
If our rights as described in the constitution are denied to us by the elites in power what are the people to do?
They betray our trust, squander the products of our labor to their own ends what are the people to do?
The refuse to protect the very borders of our land what are the people to do?
They ignore, in many cases abet the very real economic, military and cultural

This is old hat for the Landrieus. They ARE the old political machine of New Orleans.
She is New Orleans politics.
North Louisiana is a different country. Hopefully when Texas leaves the Union we will go with Texas.
She has no office in Northeast Louisiana, literally or figuratively.
In general, Bobby Jindal has been as quiet as a mouse………much to our disappointment. Why? We do not know. I see this as a time for conservatives to speak out!.
He has spent a lot of time, out of state, playing politics, national politics?
Perhaps Palin, taking the road less traveled, has the advantage of a personal platform. Perhaps she has the guts to SPEAK.
Most people work for a company/someone else. How do you propose that they take a day off and it mean anything?
With the unemployment numbers actually being around 17%, most people, afraid of losing their job, wouldn't do this.
There were millions of people taking part in the Tea Party gatherings and the MSM, if they covered it at all, lied about the figures, made fun of the

Repealing anything, is a Herculean job, is almost impossible, and Obama will, GOD help us, be president until January of 2013; so NOTHING will be repealed.
Please go take a simple course in politics and the Constitution.
Kinda sad we spent almost a trillion on Iraq and Afghanistan, and for what
Mary Landrieu is a Dung Beetle. Her family made their fortune off of the poor, uneducated, unknowing, of New Orleans. New Orleans, the grandest political cess-pool of the Republic, home of the Landrieus.
She grew up in it. That is what she is.
But not totally impossible. In California I had the same feelings until we recall Gray Davis in 2003.
It is sad but true, but all that won't matter once the economy completely collapses because the hyperinflation will cause voters to punish every last politician that allowed it to happen. We can't keep spending this way before interest rates start shooting through the roof, which will cause even more job losses. There is nothing positive that can come out of another trillion in deficit spending ... See all content
Its politically impossible for a politician to win who is for cutting back, the pol who promises to give someone something is at an advantage, its human nature…
It is so sad that politicians can sell their vote time and time again, but if they deliver the cheese to their special interest supporters they will get re-elected time and time again. The average voter does not know what their representative is up to and doesn't care.
a recall which could be a very daunting act, if not impossible act in Louisiana based upon the state’s history.
Recall?
With Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson indicating they will vote yes to move ahead with debate, Senator Blanche Lincoln is the final, critical vote needed to move the health care bill ahead in the Senate. If she votes no, they are toast.
Contact Blanche Lincoln and her staffers this morning and let them know that we will hold them fully accountable for any health care bill that passes in the future

Did anyone really believe that she would not do this. This bill will pass but just like my gas, will stink for a little
while and hopefully go away.
prostitute.
How do you do this? The president would need to sign any such bill and it won't be until 2013 at the earliest that this may happen. An entitlement program such as this will be near impossible to eliminate. This is what they are counting on.
Yes it is not impossible but this is very very dire.
I'll go farther than that. This is beyond disgusting and abuse, this is throwing the constitution away.
It is far beyond time we started talking about secession.
Our taxes are taken to support the elites and the illegals.
Representatives do not represent the people.
The media is beyond complicit, they are actively participating.

Dems are pushing this because they know that they won't be in power next year. So their solution? Ignore the Nation and do what they want.
Yes, Landrieu was bribed as others who are voting yes. I understand they need to care for their constituents, but they also need to do what is best for our country as a whole. At this rate it won't matter that they did it for their state. Our country will be bankrupts and collapse. Then it won't matter who was bribed with what because there will be nothing to give anyone. Here we come depression ... See all content
Now we know where our stimulus tax dollars went…to bribe the easily bribed into voting in the Marxist-in-Chief's socialist programs. It certainly isn't going to job creation.
Yes, anyone voting for this bill will be looking at early retirement. Yes, let all who can send money to those campaigning against these power grabbing senators that vote yes on the health care do so. Let's get them all out and maybe those who are voted in will be enough to stop it from being enacted before it becomes the death of our country.
shes in a good position do do something controversial with her reelection so far off, so much will flow under the bridge by then, not to mention the allies she will pick up spreading around the 100 mil in cheese
All conservativew need to donate to every Senate race however small to vote out anyone who votes for this bill.
it may look bad but its legal
i think shes kinda cute, but i dont like her picking my pocket

Message to the people who were supposed to represent us. Please stop pushing an agenda that the vast majority of America does not want and cannot afford. Listen and do what you were elected to do.

No matter how much they spin it, it boils down to the simple fact that she sold her vote.
The lefties need a reason to tell the public why she is going to vote yes. She was the entire time.
She was always going to vote yes! As with any politician from either party,it was just a matter of how much she would get for her yes vote. This country is doomed by the corrupt political bullshyte fed to us by BOTH parties.

Blackmail is alive and well in Louisiana. Sen. Landrieu to Harry Reid: Give my state $100,000,000 and I'll give you my vote. That is the transparency this administration promised.

An interesting thought. Since the Powers that Be, controlling the Lame Stream Media behind the scenes are accusing Breitbart of blackmail, and since the Politburo is effectively holding Amerika hostage, it is about high time that the Proleteriat call a General Strike. What do you think "THEY" would do, if WE all stayed home for a week.................?
thanks mike, to bad we have to wait five years to vote this cow out.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to pray that we can put a stop to this ill-conceived tax-n-control grab by the power-drunk Democrats... you'd think that's how a supposedly mature democracy would work, seeing that most people oppose it.
