Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana said shell vote to move ahead with the Senate health bill, but has three conditions before she agrees to vote yes on the final bill. Those conditions are important, because Ms. Landrieu is one of the Democratic swing votes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) needs to win final passage. Here they are:
1) More tax credits for small business to buy health insurance. The issue is a consistent theme for Ms. Landrieu, who is chairman of the Senate Small Business Committee. The bill already includes some credits at a cost of $27 billion over a decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
2) Measures to prevent sharp health premium increases between now and the time the bill goes into effect. Ms. Landrieu noted that several years would pass between passage of the bill and 2014, when many of its provisions take effect including the introduction of insurance exchanges where people could comparison-shop for plans.
3) A better and bipartisan solution to the question of a government-run, health-insurance plan sought by liberal Democrats. The current bill includes the public plan, with an option for states not to participate. But Ms. Landrieu indicated she preferred a proposal by Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe, under which the public plan would be triggered only if other steps didnt make coverage affordable.
Will she get what she wants? Mr. Reid can probably offer something on the first two conditions, but the third one is tougher because many Senate Democrats insist the public plan must be part of the bill from the start.

"Are you a Hoooooker?!"
Hey, “Governor.”
Once you take money from your John, it’s too late to argue that you’ll only spit. Yeah, that’s right. You are more of a whore than a representative in a democratic republic.
She’s already established what she is. Now she’s simply haggling about the price.
Meet her cellmate...Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark)
Ms Lincoln claimed that groups had spent $3.3m on advertising in her state of Arkansas. She said she would refuse to yield to either side, but was shocked by the unbelievable type of threats she had received.
These ad groups seem to think this is all about my re-election. I simply think they dont know me very well, she said on the Senate floor.
******
Since that is all she knows is politics I think I know her pretty well but I also know she doesn’t need the job. It sounds as if she is willing to lose her seat to get this ‘health care’ bill passed. PUKE!
This is absolutely essential!
“Landrieu Sets Conditions for Her Vote”
At this point, isn’t that kind of like a hooker saying “no kissing”?
Mary sure doesn’t want for herself, the insurance plan she will vote for the rest of us!
She knows darn well that isn't a remote possibility.
All whores work a street corner. She is working the intersection of Obama Street and Pelosi Avenue....
Oh now, she has become a lying crook who thinks the public will believe her. She will get none of it; only on paper which will magically disappear.
Get out Mary. We don’t need political you know whats.
Now Baby Face Landrieu gets snippy. Get over yourself already.
Mary’s vote isn’t in doubt imo. She and Carville are hosting a fundraiser for Harry Reid in New Orleans on Dec. 12, 2009.
If the Senate was in the private sector, Landrieu would be arrested and sent to prison. The democrat party stinks with corruption and they disgust me to my core.
That is nice of her.
Anyone who does not believe that obama care was not designed in the pits of Hell is only fooling themselves.
Everyone of the senators who voted for could have voted against letting this monstrosity to the floor for debate. All 60 of them are to blame, not just three who said they were on the fence in order to sell out for whatever price they could get.
All 60 of them need to go!!!
My guess is she has already agreed to vote on the final,
this is just CYA to make it look good.
“See, I tried, I really did! etc.
Landrieu is a puppet whose strings are now pulled by Ram Manual. She has joined the ranks of the bend over the desk politicians who will take the reach around path.
Soon she will go down in abject infamy , in the history of our nation.
What’s the use of a new Landrieu beach Condo on the LA coast, if the peasants keep raiding and lootlng it. That is where we are headed.She doesn’t get it.
Three conditions? Landrieu must be channeling Monty Python.
And the Lord spake, saying, “First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once at the number three, being the third number be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”
bought and paid for by the dems....etc...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The dems may have bought her,
BUT WE DAMN SURE PAID FOR IT and all those bloodsuckers will hold up the vote until their pockets are lined with OUR GOLD then the SOBs will shove the ‘f’n’ thing down our throat anyway....screw em all
