Taxpayers will be funding Miss Piggy's retirement for the rest of her unnatural life. That's her reward for doing such a stellar job in the Senate for three terms.

“an ugly, dark campaign that invents facts, stirs up racial animus, and distorts reality.”

Well hell, that’s the democratic party in a nutshell isn’t it?

Now that the Republican congressional majority has made it clear they are going to completely ignore what they were sent to do, will that affect the turnout here?

I would still vote against Miss Piggy, but truthfully, only to piss off the libs. There’s no hope that one more Pubbie seat in the Senate will change one single thing. Traitors, the lot.

Old news, but it does remind me a burning question I had. Aside from the purported money and expense at supporting her, why did the Democratic establishment abandon her? Which happened during the main election, not the run-off.

Did she veer off the reservation or just thought more of herself then the party could offer.

Hell hath no fury like a democrat parasite booted out of office.

Democrats become incensed when they lose elections.

It violates their belief that they are entitled to lead the country because they mean well and their opponents are evil.

That’s a tough pill to swallow. We are just glad she doesn’t represent our state anymore.

Let’s not forget the $300MILLION Obamacare Louisiana Purchase.

Wait a sec.......

Some observers note that the Democrat-controlled Senate passed Obamacare "after a series of unsavory transactions that purchased the aye votes of several shrewdly extortionate Democrats"....with a huge pile of money still unaccounted for.

The most unsavory was then-Sen Landrieu's $4.3 billion "Louisisana Purchase."

THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (recently lost her reelection bid) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu

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 (cough) "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

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

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----not the measly $200 million but $4.3 billon was attached to the Obamacare bill earmarked for Landrieu.

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

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was calculatedly attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catcH and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity.

The $4.3 billion handoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare....and how tax dollars were laundered to get lock-stepping Democrats' votes.

Another excellent reason for doing away with the extravagant retirement plan that Senators & Congressmen enjoy. Most of us don’t get a deal like that(or any deal at all),adding to the fact that the average person does far less damage than these people do during term of office. For some,the damage doesn’t end when they leave office,e.g: Mr. Carter.

TOO BAD--lock-stepping Obama loyalist Landrieu found out---LA voters did not just fall off a turnip truck.

<><> Lock-stepping Landrieu---saluting smartly---cast the deciding vote for Obamacare and parroted Obama's “keep your plan” pledge.

<><> Landrieu voted with Obama 99% of the time---and the prez never even dropped by to campaign for her (/snix).

<><> Landrieu voted to subsidize O/Care by decimating Medicare Advantage for seniors.

<><> Landrieu and Obama calculatedly kept the gruesome details to themselves while egging on loyal lock-stepping Democrats to vote for O/Care.

<><> Landrieu and Obama tlied to Americans in a way so specific, it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how......via the infamous "If you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan, period."

<><> After she voted for Obamacare, Landrieu carried on making believe she'd actually read the ACA bill, duping voters into thinking she understood its implications.

<><> Landrieu even feigned "surprised" at townhalls---when grassroots voters complained about O/Care.

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

Now most Americans are very forgiving----they will forgive pols of most anything---EXCEPT when a pol does not understand the impact of a campaign statement.

Landrieu's desperate and deplorable tactics---vilifying and slandering her own voters---saying that she, a high and mighty liberal, was forced to act conservative b/c voters did not appreciate woman pols enough---proved to be her undoing.
