Same as a prostitute.........End of discussion.

"What do you call a woman that sells her dignity for cash?" Someone who has no stand on anything. I hope she is very proud of herself. She sold many people out.

Money once again beat out doing what is right for America. This graft should be a crime and someone should be punished. let's put Reid, Pelosi and Frank at Gotmo so that we wouldn't have to listen to or see them ever again.

There are diseases associated with this lifestyle.

There are no ethics left in this country. Sell out to the highest bidder is the norm today.

A prostitute and Hour - Was that my money they used?

Politician.

Any other time it would be protitute. There was a time when we had statemen deciding things in Washington DC, we need statesmen & stateswomen not politicians who are for sale.

I don't know about her dignity, but she most surely DID sell her integrity AND her vote!

This is actually a good thing. Since this bill isn't supposed to take effect until 2013, this is just one more tool that can be used to dismantle this abomination before it gets to do any real damage.

I like this quote by Alexis de Tocqueville: He wrote extensively about America. He admired our form of government but was well aware that it could easily become one of despotic benevolence:

"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."

You’ve never actually read Alexis de Tocqueville, have you? If you had, you’d know that he never wrote any such thing.

What you quoted is a bastardized version of a quote falsely attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler, but the earliest known occurrence is as an unsourced attribution to Tytler in “This is the Hard Core of Freedom” by Elmer T. Peterson in The Daily Oklahoman (9 December 1951):

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”

Don’t believe everything you read in right-wing chain Emails.

I stand corrected, but no, it did not come from a right wing email.

It's been an "in your face" fact that they can bribe or use falsehoods and get away with it. They don't care about getting caught because who is going to prosecute, or conduct an investigation? Our corrupt judicial system? Our tax fraud buddy Geithner? This is corruption at it's finest, especially since there is no need for the American people to know that everyone they voted in has a price. They will sell their souls for a price. I agree with perks picture of the prostitute. It fits!

300 million dollars for a night with Mary Landrieu. Mrs. Obama is going to be upset.

I call her this a: PUPPET

Traitor like most politicians these days.

Like the money her district is going to get is going to do any good when the economy collapses and the government is bankrupt?

what about the lawsuit that the people in new orleans just won aganist the army corp of engineers this could cost the tax payers billions of dollars. I am not saying they don't deserve it but whats her name should of taken that under consideration.

I heard about that lawsuit on the radio. I remember hearing at the time of hurricane Katrina that New Orleans had been given federal money to shore up their levees but chose to spend it on golf courses or marinas or something, so I don't understand why the Corps of Engineers is being held responsible. I don't really know all the details, but it seems like La's going to be getting alot of federal money!
