Landrieu has been in big trouble since she helped push Obamacare down our throats and has been trying to talk her way out of it for the last year. Now with the runoff, Landrieu has been desperate to show that she is not a lackey for Obama and is actually relevant for the people of Louisiana.<\/p>\n
That hasn\u2019t been working out to well for her since she didn\u2019t win the general election on November 4th<\/sup>. Since then, she and her allies have been scrambling to put ads on the air touting just how good she has been and will be for Louisiana. The problem is money. Her campaign doesn\u2019t have much, her opponent, Bill Cassidy, has piles of it and the Democrat National Committee, along with the various sub-groups, are flat out broke.<\/p>\n In fact, the national groups pulled a $2 million ad buy for Landrieu a week or so ago. In desperation, Landrieu decided to try and push the Keystone XL pipeline through congress. She managed to get Dingy Harry Reid to let the bill reach the floor, after bottling it and others up for years. The idea was to pass the bill in the House and Senate and send it to Obama, who would promptly veto it as a sop to the envirowhackos. It didn\u2019t quite work out that way. Here are the details from Politico<\/a>:<\/p>\n Sen. Mary Landrieu\u2019s bid to pass a Keystone XL pipeline bill fell short by the slimmest of margins Tuesday, leaving the $8 billion pipeline still on the table for the ascendant Republican Party to push the project to President Barack Obama\u2019s desk in January. The 59-41 Senate vote was just shy of the 60 votes needed to pass the bill, following a dramatic six days of whipping by the embattled Louisiana Democrat on an issue that almost all of Washington had expected to sit idle until next year. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n She must have been using a wet noodle for the purposes of \u201cwhipping\u201d the other Democrats into saving her fat ass. Apparently, her skills at convincing the others was about as effective as using a wet noodle.<\/p>\n The defeat deals a blow to Landrieu\u2019s campaign ahead of her Dec. 6 runoff against GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy, whom polls show running comfortably ahead. Winning on Keystone would have helped her demonstrate her clout on the Hill as a champion of her state\u2019s influential oil and gas industry. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Clout? What clout? Thanks to her president, the Tyrant Obama, oil and gas drilling on public lands as well as offshore has been all but shut down. It\u2019s only on private lands that the oil and gas boom has been allowed to flourish. (Not that Obama hasn\u2019t tried to kill that as well) Her opponent, Bill Cassidy promptly let fly at Landrieu\u2019s alleged influence.<\/p>\n Cassidy\u2019s campaign quickly knocked Landrieu, saying in a statement that her \u201csupposed \u2018clout\u2019\u201d never actually existed. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Why am I seeing a variation of Colonel Kilgore saying \u201cI love the smell of napalm in the morning.\u201d In this case I think it\u2019s more along the lines of \u201cI love the smell of out of touch Democrats in the morning. It smells of Victory!\u201d<\/p>\n When the new congress is seated in 2015, one of the first things on the agenda will be a bill to finish the Keystone XL pipeline. Most of the Democrats do support it, it\u2019s only the hard left moonbats, such as Senator Barbara \u201cDumber then a bag of hammers\u201d Boxer who want it stopped. The chances of it passing both houses are quite good and it will force Il Douche to actually do his job, either signing it or vetoing it. If the latter, there might just be enough votes to override his veto. As for soon to be former senator Mary Landrieu? I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a position available at the local Wal-Mart for a new greeter.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n [yasr_visitor_votes size=”medium”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good day all. Since the Republicans won a massive landslide in this years midterm elections, there were two Senate races that were undetermined. The first one, in Alaska, has ended with the current Senator, Begich, throwing in the towel earlier this week. This leaves the Louisiana senate race still to be decided.
