Sen. Landrieu is at it again |
|
She's still on the floor. Been there all day today and all day yesterday trying to get the tax bill to include the Natl Guard and Reserve. She just yielded the floor to Se. Sessions (Repug), hoping he'll support her amendment. Sen. Ladrieu keeps holding up this 1,000 page report and now says it's heavy. I guess so, it's so big it's probably equivalent to lifting weights. Sen/ Sessions has not yet agreed.

Edited on Sun Oct-10-04 05:53 PM by BOSSHOG
who continue to pay reservists and national guardsmen called to active duty. Of course the gop, which "supports our troops", OPPOSES THE ADDITION TO THE BILL. Gotta love those fucking republicans and how they "support" our troops.
on edit - bush threatened to veto the bill of Landrieu's provision was added. So all you poor white trash freeper lemmings, go ahead and vote for bush. He'll get your offspring drafted, killed or maimed and if they survive he'll fuck private businesses who are trying to assist those who serve. Ain't it great to be a conservative fucking moron who hates America? Please share with us your story.

3. gop ran a fascist whore against her in her 02 reelection |
|
bush came to Louisiana campaigning against her in the runoff. LANDRIEU kicked her opponents ass and made bush look like the fucking puke he is in doing so. She was very supportive and cooperative with the bush white house its first two years. He's such a fucking uniter. Word to the wise, don't fuck with Mary.

10. Cheney came to Louisiana, also, to campaign against Mary. |
|
I had a pro-choice caller from Pennsylvania call me to say that Mary was going against her Catholic faith to support abortion. My response was that I'm glad my congresswoman is wise to separate her faith from her government position, that one of my biggest priorities was the separation of church & state.

13. Her election was taken by some to show Bush is in trouble |
|
Her election was also seen as a referendum on bush.
I'm glad I sent money to her campaign!

There's someone who really supports the troops. Nat'l Guard families are suffering b/c of lost income and benefits due to deployments. Also, I want to give kudos to companies like the one I work for, who are already supplementing the incomes of deployed Nat'l Guard troops. If her provision goes through, more companies will have incentive to do that.

6. What is so amazing is that the bill is a big corporate giveaway |
|
from what I heard. And they cannot find tax credits for employers of guard & reserve.
We have this huge deficit, due to giveaways to wealthy & corporations.
Try to find some money for the little guys...oh, no, they have to be fiscally responsible.

8. It beautiful to see someone on the Hill do their job like it matters! |
|
I have tremendous respect for her and utter disdain for those fighting her. There are just SO MANY reasons to be a democrat.

14. Repukes have disdain for Welfare.... |
|
unless it is Corp. Welfare. They are all for that because the Corps. pour money into their coffers. In turn the Repukes do everything they can to favor the Corps. There are now 63,000 Multi-Intl. Corps. and most of them are re-locating mfg. and outsourcing. Repukes in tandem with the Corps are destroying the Working Class in Amerika.
