Will Senator Mary Landrieu vote to REPEAL ObamaCare?

At first glance this sounds like a silly question because most of you will reply, "Of course she won't since she voted for it in the first place." However, now that the mandate has been relabeled as a tax by Roberts, Landrieu and the other Senators who voted for it, would now be reluctant to support the BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY. Their out might be that now that this is a tax increase, not a mandate, they no longer support it.

Keep in mind that the senator whose vote was bought with the infamous Louisiana Purchase faces a tough re-election fight in 2014. Other senators, such as Jon Tester of Montana face a tough re-election fight this year and have the burden of defending their vote for the BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY.

Joe Manchin is another one who comes to mind as possibly being forced to vote for ObamaCare repeal.

Landrieu not up for re-election until 2014. Nevertheless, she and all the other senators need to be YouTubed with the repeal question.

Landrieu has 200,000 in the Bank.

Her Opponent has 1.7 Million

I further suggest that we all research. If a democrat has an office full of pharmaceutical or medical insurance lobbyists, they should be beat over the head with it.

As an example, people should be aware of what Bart Stupak got for screwing America. He's a partner with Venable LLP which is a lobbying firm. Listed as his areas of expertise are Legislative and Government Affairs, Healthcare, Banking and Financial Services Regulation, Congressional Investigations, Energy, Communications.

The industries he represents are big winners under Obamacare. Dietary Supplements, Cosmetics and Functional Foods,Drugs, Medical Devices and Biologics.

The Honorable Bart Stupak Partner

Open secrets is a petty good site for researching such things. For instance, among the top industries contributing to Debbie Stabenow are Lawyers/Law Firms, Securities & Investment, and Health Professionals.

Opensecrets.org

You can also dig up the names of staffers and their history. Congressional staff is lobbyist heavy on both sides of the aisle.

When? When Harry Reid allows a vote? There isn't going to be a vote. Ever.

That vote is for show. There is no way it will be repealed in July. The only chance of repeal is after January 20, IF the Republicans have a clean sweep in the November elections. And with Boehner and Romney leading the pack, I’m not holding my breath. We have been set up from day one with this Healthcare law, and I’m not letting my guard down any more.

Who is her opponent? So far, the local Republicans have put up some pretty lame opponents for her to go up against.

Psst! Just 3 senate seats and a President away from a January repeal vote but no reason why the senators can't be quizzed on this NOW. YouTube the replies.

I think Debbie Stabenow will get the boot this time too. She has a lead of somewhere between 5 and 10 percent right now but we don’t nominate a senate candidate till August.

The GOP challenger will be either Pete Hoeksta or Clark Durant and there isn’t huge animosity between them so the base should get on board with the winner pretty quickly.

I don’t, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all. There’s so much fraud and corruption in our current D.C. admin. that broken promises and such are just par for the course. (Not that I or any other thinking Louisianian wanted that money. We value our freedom of choice far more.) Landrieu’s got some “’splainin’” to do!

Didn't Landrieu get one of the biggest payoffs to vote for it in the first place?
