Angry constituents have asked, "Do you think we are prostitutes? Do you think you can buy us?" said another Republican senator's aide, who was granted anonymity to openly discuss the feedback because the senator had supported the plan.

Yes. And they think you're cheap. $100/year. There's not a streetwalker [or pimp] in the US that would take $100 to get screwed all year long. $10/BJ/week, would net $520.

Frist was trying to buy our votes with our own money, or actually, by borrowing 10 billion more and charging us for it.

The correct way of doing this would be to hit the oil companies with either windfall profits taxes of about 50 billion (which they can easily afford) then pass tough regulations on energy suppliers to police gouging. Also good for oil prices would be to end the Iraq War, quit talking about bombing Iran and to push conservation and fuel efficiency in a big way.
