On Notice!!! Senators Evan Bayh, Mary Landrieu, Bill Nelson, Blanche Lincoln.

Written by SkipMacLure on
This is going to be short and sweet today. The four Senators names you see above are the ‘moderates’ that Dingy Harry Reid has to have to pass the Senate version of the health care monstrosity, waiting out there to enslave you and ALL your antecedents, all 2074 pages of it. Republican Senators intend to force a reading of every word of it in prime time. It’s all according to Senate rules so it doesn’t look like the DeMarxists can stop it. It will take between 34 and 54 hours to accomplish, by which time there will undoubtedly be some squirming going on while ... Read Full Story

Senator Evan Bayh – a wolf in sheep’s clothing

Image via Wikipedia Yesterday’s post here at The Policy Page described Senator Evan Bayh’s huge conflict of interest in the health care reform debate. As the Democratic Senator likely to represent the 60th procedural vote that could block a Republican filibuster of a reform bill, I discussed how profoundly disturbing it is that Senator’s Bayh’s wife, Susan, sits on the board of directors of WellPoint – the nation’s largest (by membership) for profit health insurance company. I also noted that Mrs. Bayh’s currently held stock options in the company – which would likely take a significant financial hit should a public option succeed – ... Read Full Story

Written by rickungar on
From:   trueslant.com
Senator Evan Bayh has a problem. A Research 2000 Indiana poll conducted over the week-end reveals that 52% of Indiana’s residents favor the government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan, along the lines of Medicare, that would compete with private health insurance plans. ( view entire poll ) As this blog has covered somewhat extensively over the past few days, Bayh has a huge conflict-of-interest on the subject of a public health insurance option. Bayh’s wife, Susan, sits on the board of directors of WellPoint, the largest for-profit health insurance company in the nation – a seat she received shortly after her ... Read Full Story

Evan Bayh’s multimillion dollar health care conflict of interest

Written by rickungar on
From:   trueslant.com
Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) finds himself in the health care reform catbird seat. As the organizer and leader of the Senate Blue Dog Democrats, Bayh has proven to be one of the most significant obstacles to the reform effort, pinning his reasoning on everything from fiscal conservatism to his fear that reform will lead to socialized health care in America (as he stated during an interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News earlier this year. ) But is this really what is troubling Evan Bayh? Meet Susan Bayh, wife of the Senator and a busy director serving on the boards of a number of ... Read Full Story

Senate career

Bayh was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1998 to the seat that was once held by his father. He won with 64% of the vote, the largest victory margin ever by a Democrat in a U.S. Senate race in Indiana, defeating former Fort Wayne Mayor Paul Helmke. He easily won reelection in 2004 defeating Prof. Marvin Scott, receiving 62% of the vote. He currently serves on five Senate committees: Banking Housing and Urban Affairs, on which he is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Security and International Trade and Finance; Armed Services; the Select Committee on Intelligence; the Special Committee on Aging; and the Small Business Committee.2004 campaign logo

Bayh released an autobiography in 2003 entitled From Father to Son: A Private Life in the Public Eye. He describes growing up as the son of Senator Birch Bayh and emphasizes the importance of active, responsible fatherhood.

From 2001 to 2005, Bayh served as Chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). He is also a member of the Senate Centrist Coalition and helped establish the New Democrat Coalition. Bayh serves on the Board of Directors of the National Endowment for Democracy.

Bayh has voted against confirming United States Attorney General John Ashcroft, Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito.

Bayh, in contrast to Senator Richard Lugar, was an early supporter of the Bush administration's policies on Iraq.[6] On October 2, 2002, Bayh joined President George W. Bush and Congressional leaders in a Rose Garden ceremony announcing their agreement on the joint resolution authorizing the Iraq War, and was thanked by Bush and Senator John McCain for co-sponsoring the resolution.[7]

Senator Bayh began asking for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation in 2004 for his mistakes in the Iraq war. Bayh made it clear that he had lost confidence in Rumsfeld.

He voted yes on reauthorizing the Patriot Act in 2006.
