SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - Social media backlash was seen by Senator Mary Landrieu when she took to Facebook to complain about some political ads that criticize her support for President Obama's Affordable Care Act.

Landrieu wrote in her post that right wing groups have spent millions attacking her, and she asked for her constituents to join her and fight back.

Most of the 600 comments on that Facebook post were negative, and some suggested that they'd gladly vote against the three- term Senator from Louisiana, and they would do so because of her support of ACA.

This lady has been considered “vulnerable” in every election she has ever been in.(as long as I’ve been following politics)

Hope the good folks of LA don’t take anything for granted when it comes to challenging her.

Oh no---little Mary doesn't like ads that criticize her? (Cackle) wait'll she sees this one.

"Mary and the Democrats took AWAY our health care. They took away our doctors. They made healthcare prohibitively expensive.

"Then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi egged on Mary and the Democrats---saying Americans could not wait any longer for Obama's perfect health care. "

"Mary and the Democrats steamrolled over Americans---they had nothing to stop them: super-majority voting power, Obama buying their aye votes, and Nancy Pelosi irresponsibly evading Congressional mandates---pressuring Mary and the Democrats not to read ACA before voting."

"Repubs tried to stop Mary and the Democrats....every Republican voted against the ACA. There were numerous Republican bills---three years ago Sen Mike Enzi's bill aimed to help Americans keep their plans. "

"Mary and the Democrats decisively voted down numerous Republican attempts to assist Americans."

Mmmmmmm.....Mary must get agita when she hears the words "straight party line vote" . Words that will bring every Democrat candidate to their knees (now until kingdom come).

And I quote.... "Obamacare is the ONLY legislation in modern American history enacted on a straight party-line Democrat vote......

Obama herded braindead Democrats into voting into law a plan that was specifically designed to:

<><> upend the medical delivery system,

<><> leave millions of American families and children without health coverage,

<><> and nationalize 1/6 of the US economy.

Obama led the Democrat cows out to pasture....and now the chickens are coming home to roost. ROTFLOL.

She’s keeping the bucks flowing. See this post:

The loan forgiveness is a response to a provision Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat, added to a 2013 Homeland Security Appropriations that changed the criteria for loan forgiveness affecting some $211 million in Katrina-related loans.

“We are extremely pleased with the news that FEMA has decided to give the St. Tammany Parish Public School System full cancellation of our loan from Hurricane Katrina,” said schools Superintendent Trey Folse via email.

“I would like to thank Senator Mary Landrieu and her staff for their tireless efforts on our behalf.”

She plays the game well.

Only Obama and dimwit Democrats can think Americans will allow them to say, Yes, more than 5 million people lost the health care plans they liked, because of Obamacare. But, that's ok, because we are going to allow them to go without any health insurance next year, without a penalty!

600 Louisianans replied to Landrieu's whining on Facebook WRT being targeted for her ruinous O/Care vote....some suggested that they'd gladly vote against her because of her vote and vocal support of ACA.

INCONVENIENT FACTOID In the advertising world, one letter received is counted as 100 w/ similar views who did not write.

=============================================

THEY CAN RUN BUT THEY CANT HIDE---No Democrat who voted for Obamacare is safe in 2014 and beyond. The O/Care debacle is looking more and more like the 1992 House check-kiting scandal. Even w/ a strenuous political cover-up, 11 of the 22 kiters--those in safe seats--were tossed out by angry constituents.

Chris Frates, CNN's investigative correspondent, reported: "Three years ago, Senate Democrats sucked-up and voted unanimously to support the self-same ObamaCare rule that is largely responsible for the health insurance cancellation avalanche going out to irate policyholders."

INVONVENIENT FACTOID ....three years ago, every Democrat voted against Senator Republican Mike Enzi's (R-Wyo) bill to protect policyholders from the ruinous effects of Obamacare.

=============================================

PANICVILLE: The weeping and gnashing of Democrat teeth is at crisis stage. Mary Landrieu (Dem-La) is backtracking like crazy---but they got her on tape in the well of the Senate parroting Obama's ruinous, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

LANDRIEU also reassured TV viewers: “If you like the insurance that you have, you’ll be able to keep it.” (MSNBC’s Hardball, 12/16/09)

Little Mary and a bunch of other Democrats should be toast but they will survive because Bonehead and the House Republicans will ride to their rescue with amnesty just in time to add 30 million new Democrat voters to our system.

>> ROTATE THE CAPITAL AMONGST THE STATES

(from your tagline)

A heckuva interesting idea. Rotate it monthly. :-)

Let the self-serving congressional pukes stay at the Holiday Inn Express and meet in the hotel’s conference rooms.

The federal agencies are on their own. $20 per diem, find you own lodging somehow.

Would that reduce the size of government, or what?

Don't count chickens before they hatch. The French name, "Landrieu", is sacred in Lousiana. Many folks in the state speak "Louisiana French". The culture is strongly Cajun, Creole, French.

Born into a prominent political family, Mary Landrieu is the daughter of a former New Orleans mayor, and she's the sister of the current mayor.

In Chicago, for decades, the name "Daley" was also sacred and probably still is....and will ever be. Even today, Chicagoans would blindly vote for and elect a "Daley" even if the candidate was the devil himself...or dead.

The same holds true for a "Landrieu". Never underestimate the blind devotion to a venerated name at election time.

They're going to annex Canada?
