[Blood of Tyrants]

It showed the American people that Senators like Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, et al., actually have no principles and can be bought.

As if there were any doubt?

It showed the American people that Senators like Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, et al., actually have no principles and can be bought.

While it is appalling that individuals like Nelson can set aside their, ahem, principles in exchange for a payout, perhaps this suggests a winning strategy.

Those of us living in states with hard core leftist Senators have had no chance to be heard. But now we can ask our Senators, WHAT DID YOU GET FOR THE CITIZENS OF YOUR STATE?

If old lady Landrieu got $300 million for LA and Nelson got perpetual federal funding of increased Medicare costs for NE, WHAT DID YOU GET FOR US IN YOUR STATE?

This is a lose - lose for them: if they got nothing, they've proven to be worthless. If they got something, they are self-serving whores. QED.
