(Chuck Muth) – Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) – recipient of the now-infamous $300,000 million “Louisiana Purchase” of her vote on ObamaCare – went on Face the Nation on Sunday and said the following about the prospect of a Christmas Eve final vote on the Senate version of the bill:
“There’s only one reason we’re going to be here until Christmas, and that’s Senator Tom Coburn . We don’t have to vote in the middle of the night. But he’s the one making us do it, not Harry Reid , not the Democrats. It is a Republican obstructionist that is making us vote in the middle of the night.”
First, there’s nothing at all wrong with being an obstructionist when there’s something crying out to be obstructed.
Secondly, there is no law or regulation which REQUIRES the health care bill to be voted on before Christmas. That’s an artificial deadline created of, by and for Harry Reid who knows full well that the longer this monstrosity drags on, the less and less the American people like it.
Reid wants this thing voted on before Christmas while the masses are distracted with the holidays….plain and simple.
So while Sen. Coburn may, indeed, be trying to obstruct this abomination from passing, the ONLY reason senators may be forced to cast a final vote on Christmas Eve is because Harry Reid insists on voting for it before Christmas instead of after the first of the year.
And if Mary Landrieu wishes to engage in name-calling, what is it again you call a woman who sells herself for money?
Meanwhile, Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) announced on Sunday that she was not going to support the Senate’s health care bill because it’s being rushed through to meet Harry Reid’s artificial deadline.
And that really pisses me off.
Because Snowe’s opposition now doesn’t mean squat. Reid has already purchased the 60 votes he needs to break any GOP filibuster effort on his Taxpayer Express Card. Snowe’s “no” today is completely worthless.
However….
Back in mid-October Snowe was the ONLY Republican on the Senate Finance Committee to vote to move this bill forward. Had she not caved and given Harry Reid her vote back then, perhaps one Democrat could have been persuaded/pressured to oppose the bill, as well, and we wouldn’t be where we are today.
So, thanks for nothing, Sen. Snowe.
Had you done the right thing back in October when your vote actually meant something – instead of playing political games in an effort to burnish your “bi-partisan” reputation – the nation wouldn’t be getting socialized government health care, complete with taxpayer-funded abortions, for Christmas.
Lousy, clueless, useful idiot RINO.
But I mean that in a good Christian way, of course.
