Floor of the U.S. Senate

What’s the difference between a Republican and a Democrat? Answer: The difference between a whore and a prostitute.

The U.S. Senate on March 4th 2010, voted down a bill, that would have given Seniors who will not see any increase in their Social Security benefits this year, a paltry $250 check.   The same U.S. Senate that had no problem voting for Wall Street bailouts, can’t find it in their coal industry owned hearts, to help seniors who are struggling in the recession.

As I have written before, seniors are bailing out Wall Street, from artificially low interest rates that rob seniors of critical retirement income earned from U.S. Govt. bonds and C.D.’s.   By keeping interest rates artificially low, seniors are giving up their retirement income, so that Wall Street bankers can earn huge bonuses.

It should come as no surprise to anyone, that Republicans would gladly kick Grandma to the street.   But, the fact that 12 Democrats, from the party that historically protects seniors, voted with the Republicans to kick Grandma to the street?   Why do you hate your grandmother Senator Russ Feingold?

With the defeat of the bill that would have given Seniors collecting Social Security, a one time $250 check, the U.S. Senate is openly advertising itself as a whore house.   Senators represent the interests of corporations, and the wealthy, over the interests of the people.   It’s time to Retire the Senate!

Here are the 12 Democrat Senators who voted against Seniors:

1. Bayh (D-IN)
2. Bennet (D-CO)
3. Carper (D-DE)
4. Feingold (D-WI)
5. Feinstein (D-CA)
6. Landrieu (D-LA)
7. Levin (D-MI)
8. McCaskill (D-MO)
9. Nelson (D-NE)
10. Shaheen (D-NH)
11. Udall (D-CO)
12. Warner (D-VA)

Save your Grandmother! If any of these dirty democrats are from your state, you may want to send them a message, and give them an early retirement next time you go to vote.
