Dems Try to Justify $300 Million Bribe to Senator Landrieu… Fail (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 6:10 AM
Democratic Senators Sherrod Brown and Jeanne Shaheen are tongue-tied when asked to justify the $300 million bribe democrats awarded Senator Mary Landrieu for her vote on Obamacare:
Via Breitbart
From the video: The Washington Post reported on a provision in the health reform bill that would give the state of Louisiana – whose Senator, Mary Landrieu, is indecisive on health reform – $300 million. “The promise of the Obama campaign is to change the way Washington works,” CNN’s John King asks Sen. Sherrod Brown. King argues that this process is “Washington as usual, is it not?” Brown and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen were tongue-tied as to how to answer the question at first.
Is it any wonder then that independents are still fleeing the socialist party in droves?

John King is no fool. Despite laboring at the Clinton News Network, he surprises me at times by asking Democrats questions he wouldn’t hesitate to ask Republicans. The “answers”, of course, speak for themselves. Landrieu is now a bonafide political whore….and she’s proud of it!

He “has no way to know if that’s true?”
Liar.
And she says US health care isn’t better than anyone else’s? Liar.

Good God those answers are a load of crap.
There were NON-answers, to be specific.
Democrats really do think everyone is as stupid as are Democrats.
jodetoad commented:
Neither answered the question. Thus, the answer was, “Yes, the end justifies the means.”
Unethical, dishonest, hypocrites.
NeoKong commented:
Uh hoh geez…..
You got to have some pretty big gaps in your teeth to lie like those two just did.
Have they no shame….?

This is but the beginning of the spectacle that is to become Louisiana, our new Victim State. Remember we just had special attention given to Cao for his vote.
And now with the court decision blaming the US Army Corps of Engineers for Hurricane Katrina, get ready for the onslaught of victimology as the Lousianans continue to scream and bang their spoons on their high chairs ad infinitum.

Washington as usual? Did President Bush and his administration and fellow party loyalists ever bribe anyone with hundreds of millions of dollars for a vote?
F**k you, Brown and Shaheen: this is DEMOCRATS as usual. Go to hell.

To what length will supporters go in attempting to accomplish this wretched end? I have an inkling that this may be even bigger than health care itself. Being part of a true check and balance system, WE have a right to expose the back room dealings that surround this dangerous bill. Keep digging “Right” minded people, it is for your own protection I assure you.

Sad thing is that after the dust settled it has been determined the Corps of Engineers bares the most responsibility for the disaster.
Secondly I doubt the citizens of Louisiana will benefit very much from this payola. It will first be filtered through the accounts of political cronies to insure incumbencies.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
How many Dems are going to retire before 2010? I bet a lot. It’s a strategem. They can’t run any incumbent Democrats, so they’ll replace them all with unknown Democrats with NO record at all.
Watch in 2010, as Dems who are showing badly in the poll numbers are replaced, even at the last minute, even contrary to established law. Didn’t they do that in New Jersey recently, and succeed?
We need to get the word out that (D) is all the record you need, and it’s a bad record, and the candidate should be defeated based on that record.
We also need to get the word out that they KNOW that we know this, and that the Democrats will be running as Republicans, entry-ism-style, (e.g. Scozzafava), so we need to watch where new Republicans are coming from, and examine their backgrounds fully.
Hopefully ACORN won’t be operative in 2010, under that name or any other “rebrand”.

I made the mistake of going to school and actually paying attention in Civics class. Because of that, I am aware that the Constitution of the United States does not guarantee health care to any citizen. I got a “B” in the class, so I may be wrong, but I believe that means health care is my responsibility.
DisgustedPatriot commented:
This is ‘Political Prostitution’.
Just another screwing Landrieu & the Dems are giving us that we don’t even want. If I have to pay for it, I certainly would not hire her, Pelosi or any one of them.
2010 & 2012 can’t get here quickly enough.
They know none of these programs will work including the stimulus etc. Their goal is to spend us into the ground.
This is the Cloward-Piven strategy at work. Collapse the system & rebuild it into a socialist state.
Inform your friends that care about our consitution folks!

That Louisiana purchase is symptomatic of far deeper graft and corruption problem. Buying votes with your money. Wouldn’t it just be cheaper to stick a 100gs in their freezer…. And it’s beginning to grate on them.
Ever wonder how these congressional clunkers go to Washington a pauper and retire multimillionaires?

Rasmussen: Republicans Extend Lead to Seven Points on Generic Ballot; Independents Favor Republicans 44-20
1994-ish:
Republican candidates have extended their lead over Democrats to seven points, their biggest lead since early September, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.
…
Voters not affiliated with either party continue to heavily favor Republicans, 44% to 20%.

“…we spend more money on health care than any other nation, but we’re not healthier.”
Yes ma’am, you are correct. But we should point out that that is mostly due to an individuals lifestyle choice. When you start taxing the pee out of fried chicken and malt liquor you may chase away the block of voters who support you.
