Party (ahem) loyalty----Dems spout the party line, or else.
Besides, he bought them all off w/ hefty fededral payouts.*
Plus he still has the power to dole out federal jobs w/ high pay, endless perks, and heft pensions.....when the voters unceremoniously vote them out of office. AND he has the means to facilitate Dem voter fraud where needed.
================================================
* Sen Mary Landrieu (Dimwit-LA) started to pull away when she saw her seat was in jeopardy---but got back in line.
Landrieu is running in a state where Obama, and his health care reform, are highly unpopular .....AND they got her on tape in the well of the Senate parroting Obama's infamous lie, "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." Louisiana voters need to be reminded that Landrieu supported nationalizing 1/6 of our economy.
THE LANDRIEU PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Landrieu sold her aye vote for a "hefty price." Landrieu was bought off in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.
<><> Where's the $4.3 billion, Mary?
FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml
How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet annother indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.
<><> Where's the $4.3 billion, Mary?
BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---and the $4.3 Landrieu giveaway was attached to the Obamacare bill.
<><> Where's the money, Mary?
aka ... taxpayer dollars.
graft is another good word, as is bribery, as you know.
