Believe me, they will have a great chance because I am up for reelection right now. They will be able to do that. But that is the way you do it.”


Is this country great, or what?

If they would have listened to the voters they wouldn't have passed that shite law and she just might be the Senator from LA in 2015.

I hope the cause was worth it for Mary. I think she wins if not for her support of ACA.

The thing about it is this.

She will probably get a good cushy job making OT money somewhere & become a multi-million $$$ lobbyist just like her partner in crime, john breaux.

AND she will get the best of health care while we, the peons, will languish under a crappy healthcare system that SHE helped usher in.

Really?

They why was it viewed unfavoribly by over 50% of the population? Also, I didn't realize that the House and Senate ran on the platform of passing Obamacare in the 04/06/08 elections

Also funny that less than 50% of Senators who voted for Obamacare are still in office.
