George H.W. Bush rented a hotel room in Houston for years until he retired. Those people go to cash in, not to serve.

This pig was also one of the last votes to put Obamacare over the top. This is her first election since then. I hope people remember that.

Even if this idiot loses, she’ll just move to K Street and join the hundreds of influence peddling ethical prostitutes infesting the Hill.

Here’s what the experts had to say on the matter:

“No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained
to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.”

So she owns a $2.5 million home. I wonder what the average income is for “her” district?

If owning a home was required to vote then a large portion of the population
wouldn’t qualify. Now that may not be all that bad.

This development occurred in Iowa back in the 70s.

Democrat US Senator Dick Clark was found not to own any real estate in Iowa and I believe a judge somewhere ruled he didn't have to own any.

He was defeated in his reelection bid.

......according to Congressional Quarterly, both Obama and his odious signature legislation, Obamacare, are hugely unpopular in Louisiana........ Landrieu cast the deciding vote for that law....but there's more....

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 Landrieu's $4.3 billion "Louisisana Purchase."

THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (Scumocrat-LA) 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 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. But 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 help elect more lock-stepping Democrats.

“I’m sure they can find a Federal Judge who will rule she doesn’t need a house in Louisiana. “

Not uncommon with our “ruling class” in DC. They live in DC; but keep an address out in the sticks that they “represent”.

I assume it’s legal. The voters keep re electing them; and get what they deserve.

There are some good guys and gals who are in DC that truly live in their districts back home.

Democrats - Above the law. More likely than finding a judge, they will go to the folks who did The Emperor’s Long Form Birth Certificate, and will produce a lease agreement for a condo in Baton Rouge. Don’t need to own, you see, because she leases a place...

Thanks to the 17th Amendment, we have “at large” senators who fight for themselves and their party, not their states.

Landrieu, Lugar, Roberts do not represent the exceptional mindset, but rather the rule. Perhaps worse, they are too pompous to make it appear they actually have roots in the province they supposedly inhabit.

Article V.
