As usual, the messenger is being fired on like Custer looking for a campsite at the Little Bighorn. Senator David Vitter (R-LA.) has called for a floor vote on his bill to effectively end exempting Congressmen and their staffs from having to pay for their participation in ObamaCare. These people would receive a healthy subsidy financed by tax-dollars. They would become the only people to gain these subsidies. For this, Vitter is being attacked personally and legislation drafted against him for his past admission of inappropriate activity. In an act of obvious spitefulness, Senate Democrats drafted legislation to embarrass Vitter and divert attention from the fact Obama exempted these people for political gain by directing attention to a 2007 prostitution scandal involving Vitter.
This hypocrisy is almost funny were it not for the fact Bill Clinton still directs Democratic Party efforts for Obama even though he’s known to be a perjurer and was impeached unsuccessfully; Mark Sanford lied to his state’s population and came back to win election as a Representative. Mr. Rangel suffered (not enough in my humble opinion) for finance discrepancies and inappropriate business dealings benefiting from his position as a seated member of Congress. We know others are guilty of the same activities but haven’t been exposed as yet.
Sooner or later, these people are going to have to be forced to get their heads out of their nether regions and get back on task recognizing they’re employees of the American people and not demigods seated on a higher plane.
