Reid buys Senator Landrieu's vote on health care not for $100 million, but $300 million in her own words AND she says she is proud of it!

better enjoy their 60 member majority because in 2010 they are going down.
excerpt:
To help secure her vote, Reid also included a provision in the bill sought
by Landrieu to provide increased Medicaid funds for states recovering from
major disasters such as 2005's Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans
and parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Landrieu defended the inclusion of the provision and said Republican critics
who accuse her of selling her vote for $100 million are wrong and that she
has the support of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
"I will correct something. It's not $100 million, it's $300 million, and I'm
proud of it and will keep fighting for it," Landrieu told reporters after
her floor speech. "But that is not why I started this health care debate; I
started this health care debate for all the reasons I just mentioned in my
statement" on the floor.
She added that she has sought the amendment since the beginning of this
year.
Landrieu also said she does not believe the bill as written will receive a
filibuster-proof majority in order to move to final passage, and that Reid
and other Democratic leaders will have to get rid of the public insurance
option in order to secure the necessary votes.

She's a disgusting piece of shit. At first Reid and her tried to hide the
bribe with two pages of legal jargon. ABC News was sharp enough to
recognize the payoff. Now everybody knows about it so she's in damage
control mode. Her website acknowledges the connection between the
bribe and her vote for RationCare.

And you, bunkie, know in your heart of hearts that Sen Landieu is just
awful but the Louisiana senate is balanced by Whoremaster Vitter.
That's your guy, an upstanding repug who just happens to like to screw
whores. A good God fearing Whoremaster. I mean what's so bad about
running around a whore house wearing womens clothing?

That's almost the punchline of an old joke, isn't it?
"We've already determined that you're a whore; now we're just haggling
over price."

What's that got to do with Landrieu selling her soul for pork and
plunging our children deep into debt, Kevvy? You can't stay on topic
and address your side's shortcomings, instead as usual you blame
others. Couldn't find a way to blame Bush this time?

How much did it cost to get your little corporate toadies in the GOP to
unanimously betray their constituents?

And thats the problem. You aren't willing to deal with the fact,
that's fact, that the repug have absolutely no morality. I thought
that you were the party of morality. So why are you child molesters,
queers, liars, whore masters and good 'ole cheaters?
Why did one repug senator cheat on his wife and try to buy off his
whore's husband? Why did the repug governor of SC cheat his way
across the Americas to his lovers bed in Buenos Aires?
The plain fact is that Sen. Landrieu knew how to use her power and get
some desperately need help from the repug attempt to end New Orleans.
The plain fact is that you repugs quit being the party of morality
about 30 sec. after you proclaimed your virtue.

Looks like the Repub,icams voted their concience.
Kevin Cunningham
Prove that the repugs have a conscience. Was Sen. Vitter showing his
morality by spending money on whores rather than charity, or on his
wife? Was Ensign showing us a better way to charity by paying of the
man he cuckolded?
Yeah, lets hear more about repug morality.....
