Landrieu's Estrada 'Betrayal': What happened to the Louisiana senator's pre-election promise?

Wall St Journal ^ | February 13, 2003

Residents of New Orleans know the Big Easy is home to what is probably the largest Honduran population outside Honduras. Which is one reason Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's decision to change her mind and back the filibuster of judicial nominee Miguel Estrada is so outrageous.

"RECALL" time in Cajunville

....she is a RAT. That's what happened.

[Seeking the truth]

Yep, its real simple:

Democrats are Evildoers 0cents Stamp Products

[xsmommy]

Ms. Landrieu now disavows her own ad and claims she never supported Mr. Estrada. Rather, she blames her Hispanic supporters, who, she says, "misinterpreted" her position, which was really one of "neutrality." But the final line of the ad reads: "An announcement paid for by friends of Mary Landrieu." Ms. Landrieu doesn't come up for re-election until 2008, by which time she no doubt hopes her act of political cynicism will have been forgotten

this is heinous.

Just sit back and enjoy it.

The rats are in a death spiral.

They have made themselves totally irrelevant by their "fiddling" while the nation confronts the current crises.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Time for a little "outreach" action on the bayou.

SS. And who says that the rats don't take their voters for granted?

[hobbes1]

You can't really tell me this surprises you ?

[Marauder]

Can anyone name a trustworthy liberal democRat?

[jmaroneps37]

A rat by any other name always will smell the same. You have to give it to the rats thou, they know exactly how to play the lemmings.

She is a demorat. Therefore, anything said can be retracted without fear of recriminations. In other words---

Dems lie without hesitation. ALWAYS. I would never trust a word from any dem leader's face. Always expect the opposite. They have no shame, no morals, no plans.

Trash, all of them.

About a month ago or so I read that privately some Dems concede they really want to be the first ones to appoint a Hispanic to a high court. Of course, it would have to be a liberal Hispanic, but regardless, some Dems were quoted as saying this. I've been unable to find the article/quotes through a search and wondered if anyone had it saved in their bookmarks? Help appreciated. Peach

[white trash redneck]

Who in their right mind would believe a DemocRAT politician's campaign promise???

[BerniesFriend]

I think it was G. Gordon Liddy who would say about clinton's voters.."SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!"

I feel the same way about our own lying landrieu..anything to get elected..it still shames me our stupid state voted her back into the minority..sheesh

[OldPossum]

With a little bit of luck, maybe those Hondurans will be thinking about this when they pull those levers in the 2004 presidential election.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

The Honduran-born Mr. Estrada . . . is a superhero in the Honduran-American community. Think JFK in 1960.

Interesting. I had no idea JFK was a hero in the Honduran community.

Typical dim-o-crapper bald face lie. Should we be surprised?
