Cash for Cloture: Demcare bribe list, Pt. II Don't Think We're Not Keeping Score

A month ago, I compiled Part I of the Demcare bribe list as Harry Reid rushed before Thanksgiving to secure his first cloture vote on the government health care takeover. (Quick re-cap: $300 million Louisiana Purchase for Landrieu; $300 million California doctor payments; AARP goodies; abortion and union lobby concessions.)

Here’s Part II of the Cash for Cloture bribe list all in one handy place (hat tip again to my friend ChristinaKB for the apt phrase she first coined on November 21 for the Demcare wheeling and dealing).

GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell alluded to all this backroom dealing on the floor early this morning before the cloture vote, but lamely refused to name names on the Senate floor.

Screw Senate collegiality. Let the sun shine in.

First they said don’t worry it won’t pass the House.

And it did.

Then they said don’t worry it won’t pass the Senate.

And it will.

Next they’ll be telling us it won’t pass....

[Ophiucus]

They also said the Republic would survive....

. . . as John McCain said we have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency. Every time he makes an appearance on the screen (tube is becoming passe’) the interviewer should run that video clip.

They had their 60 votes so Snowe and Collins didnt have to vote .

Letting them off the hook so they can screw us at a later date.

Democrat, republican, independent, NO DIFFERANCE!
They are ALL in it together. Washington is a big
club. Once they get elected, they get trained by
the club.
Every last egg sucking dog in D.C. needs to go. One
huge clean sweep. No more believing the lie that my
congress person is okay.
Every one of them needs to be fired. There is not one of them that I would trust to mow my lawn. They are not even trustworthy enough to take a food order
and get it right. They could not even wash dishes
and do a good job.
As my sainted mother used to say, “they are as worthless
as teats on a boar hog.”
