    Below is a quote from an article (and the link to the complete article) that shows how the sausage is made in the US Senate.  It is not pretty. Both political parties do it this way when they are in the majority. Senator Harry Reid MUST have Senator Landrieu's vote for health care or it WILL fail. (He also needs Senator Blanche Lincoln.) So ...what's the news? Senator Reid just gave Senator Landrieu 100 million dollars for her district (see below.) And guess what? He is going to get her vote. What would you do if you ... read more

    TWO MOST POWERFUL SENATORS (today)

    Two women may be the most important United States Senators right now! Senator Blanche Lincoln (Dem/Ark) and Senator Mary Landrieu (Dem/La).  These are the two women whoe Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are trying to schmooze -- no doubt offering them lots of things for their districts to get their votes.  He needs their votes to hit the magic number of 60...or else the Senate Democratic health care bill in its current form will be blocked. In snooping around to see what is new with the two women Senators, I found this ... read more

    Help me understand.  Senator Reid's bill allows states to "opt out" (see below.) How is that handled? Do the states and its citizens who opt out get reimbursed for any expense of the government run program that they have paid? Or is there no expense to begin with? Does opting ... read more
