The Louisiana Purchase

You've probably heard about this.  I've read it and I heard Ms. Landrieu say these things repeating her statements and what happened is a sign of the corruption that is festering is Washington:

Back in the old days, people would at least look ashamed when caught being bribed, but not Mary Landrieu. It’s being called the Louisiana Purchase. Senator Harry Reid put a provision on the health care plan that originally called for $100 million to be funneled to Louisiana exclusively.


Mary Landrieu refused to vote for cloture on the motion to proceed to the health care debate. Reid raised the offer to $300 million and Mary proved she wasn’t a cheap date after all — she took the increase, voted for cloture, and then bragged about the $300 million bribe.


In a statement sure to be repeated by Republicans endlessly over the coming weeks of Senate health care debate, the senator flaunted the inclusion of the provision. “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."

These are our tax dollars that the idiots: Harry Reid, Max Baucus, Chuckie Schumer, Chris 'buy-me-a-house' Dodd, Dufus Durbin et al are voting to spend.  Our money.  They are cheating, lying and stealing our money!!!  This has gone from slightly socialist to completely insane.  The only way I can understand this whole tax and spend mentality is is wonder what Obamao offered the Chinese Communists to hold our debt.  Let me guess - Chinese military installations in its new satellite.  Wake up America before we become Amerika the land that once was.
