Just a short post for posterity to illuminate Senator Mary Landrieu’s price tag for a vote. If it weren’t so pathetic and typical of POLS it would be funny for one reason. Landrieu is so clueless she could not decide whether to admit or deny her vote was paid for with Medicaid dollars for Louisiana. $100 million for a vote on HarryCare. First she denies she was paid for her vote and then admits she would do it again.
After reports surfaced of $100 million for Louisiana was added to the Senate’s health care reform legislation, originally from ABC News, and subsequently commented upon by prominent lefties, like U.S. News and World Report’s Bonnie Erbe as my colleague Noel Sheppard pointed out, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., took the Senate floor on Nov. 21 to announce she would vote in favor to proceed forward with the Senate Democratic leadership’s bill.
First there was Blanco, then Nagin, now Landrieu. And the Army Corps of Engineers gets blamed for Katrina in court. Sometimes justice is illusive. Much of what caused the problems in NOLA comes from a long history that few are willing to review. And that mindset is alive and well with Landrieu and HarryCare.

I am holding Harry Reid personally responsible. Harry is the one in charge of the Senate when we relinquished control of our
Repuclic. He’ll be the one our history books will record as one of the leaders that gave up our citizen’s rignts and ended the Republic as e knew it for over 200 years. I figuratively spit in his face. If I could slap him in the face, break his nose, or do something else to him during his assault on our freedoms, I would gladly do it. What a traitor and sellout to our Constitution. He’s no better than any enemy that has ever attacked us.

It’s all a big kabuki dance. All POLS are looking to 2010. No one’s statements can be completely trusted. Reminds me of HR4437 in 2007. Only hope the outcome is at least the same. In that scenario, the House voted for ‘tougher’ immigration legislation to look good knowing the Senate would never pass it. That may be the best we can expect.
Thanks for stoppin’ in and the comments.
