(smile)<\/p>\n<p>Remember Mary \u201cLouisiana Purchase\u201d Landrieu?  You know, that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/theapothecary\/2012\/03\/06\/the-4-billion-typo-in-obamacares-louisiana-purchase\/\">Senator from Louisiana who sold her vote on Obamacare in exchange for \u201cspecial financial considerations\u201d for her Louisiana constituents<\/a>?  And did so in spite of the fact that most of her constituents didn&#8217;t want ObamaCare to pass?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Louisiana held a runoff election for US Senator yesterday.  And in what was IMO a fine example of Karmic retribution, <a href=\"http:\/\/hosted.ap.org\/dynamic\/stories\/U\/US_SENATE_LOUISIANA?SITE=AP&#038;SECTION=HOME&#038;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&#038;CTIME=2014-12-06-21-17-12\">Mary \u201cLouisiana Purchase\u201d Landrieu . . . lost<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Seems like the people of Louisiana doen\u2019t much care for ObamaCare \u2013 with or without their special financial considerations.  Or maybe they just didn\u2019t like having a senator that blatantly sells their vote.  Either way, they decided to remember that fact when they went to the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Bye-bye, Senator.  Don\u2019t let the door hit ya on the way out of your office, and enjoy looking for a job in that \u201cwonderful economy\u201d the current POTUS has created since he took over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the next-to-last results are in from the 2014 elections.* And there\u2019s a story related to &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;Louisiana Purchase&#8221; Turns Out Toxic\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=56905\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Louisiana Purchase&#8221; Turns Out Toxic<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":623,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-care-debate","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/623"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56905\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
