Dozens of people on both sides of the health care debate faced off outside Senator Mary Landrieu's Shreveport office Friday afternoon.

The Red River Tea Party was outside the federal courthouse where Landrieu's office is located.

They believe Landrieu sold her vote by adding a special provision into the bill that would bring $100 million in medicaid subsidies to Louisiana.

On the other side, a group in favor of the bill says they disagree that Landrieu is being influenced.

I suppose those in favor of the Senate Health Care "take-over" bill were ACORN members? ABC news and other members of the mainstream media reported on a $100 million "earmark" specifically aimed at buying Mary Landrieu's vote, buried deep in the 2000+ page bill.

If the liberal media who are usually complicit with their silence find something like this why are people still refusing to believe it's true? Think of all the earmarks and pet projects that Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel promised leary House members in order to get that squeaker of a 5 vote majority when the House passed their version of their attempt to take over and RUIN the American health care system.
