"Dingy Harry" Bribing Phony Moderate Dems To Pass Socialized Medicine In Senate

Our Senate, under Dingy Harry Reid's leadership:



(History of the World Part I)

As the House did a couple of weeks ago, the Senate will take up Obamacare in the darkness of night, on a weekend.

To get the votes, Reid is bribing so-called "moderate Blue Dogs" for their support to get the sixty votes necessary to move forward with a final vote.

Two people who have sold out the American people to put their party ahead of country: Mary "Baby Fat" Landrieu and Ben Nelson (the liberal TPM website).

Sen. Mary Landrieu's state of Louisiana is still ailing years after Hurricane Katrina devastated its largest city. So Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could be killing two birds with one stone by including in his health care bill $100 million in federal Medicaid aid for any states (aka, Louisiana) that have suffered a natural disaster in the last seven years. That's much needed help for the poor in Louisiana, and also a sweetener for Landrieu, whose support for health care reform has never been terribly certain.

That appears to be a more justifiable offer from Reid than a separate concession to Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE), another health-care fence sitter. In a move that appears designed to win Nelson's initial procedural votes, Reid decided not to include a measure ending anti-trust exemptions for the insurance industry.

So we can quit using the term Blue Dogs and call them for what they are: Lapdogs.

The Heritage Foundation is reporting also that there are six (6) tax increases in Dingy Harry's bill, which would violate Barack Hussein Obama's "no higher taxes on the middle class" pledge.

If you haven't yet, call your Senator and tell them to vote "No" on cloture. I heard there's also going to be a "Million Med March" in McLean, VA at noon tomorrow (Saturday the 21st) at the intersection of Old Dominion and Old Chain Bridge Rd. More locations can be found at their website.
