I did not know there were any Rivers there that need a new bridge. Wonder what he charged Obama to betray his state? The last Crat left will get the biggest Bribe.
FLUSH....Ben Nelson.
Keep calling him..if this crap passes, America as we know it is done. I wonder how much these pricks are being paid off to destroy America
LIEberman will vote for cloture. Landrieu has been bribed with $100 million for her state as written in the bill for disaster relief.
The sheeple need to learn a lesson. Elections have consequences. They voted for this scum bum and now they're going to have this crammed down their throats, like it or not. Anyone with the eyes to see and ears to hear knew what Obama was. But they still voted for him and now we're all stuck with him. Hope you all like screwjobs, because we're going to get it.
Looks like they are buying Landrieu also. Where are Lincoln and Lieberman?
"Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska is a "yes" in a crucial weekend test vote on health care government takeover of more than 1/6 of the U.S. economy.
The moderate idiotic, anti-American, lawmaker told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D (Marxist)-Nev., that he would vote with rank-and-file Democrats to move ahead on the legislation unconstitutional abomonination being foisted upon the American public (but NOT on congress)."
There! Fixed it.
Keep calling him is right- soften him up for the next vote and let him know of our outrage.
He caved first to give cover for Lincoln. She is now toast. This will be a strict party-line vote, let the American people clearly see who is delivering this monstrosity and wrecking our nation.
Thank you again to all the F___ing idiots in Minnesota who voted for Dean Barkley instead of Norm Coleman, thus delivering Franken.
DEMOCRAT = COMMUNIST!
Let’s not mince words any more. Let us not hope for a favorable outcome. We are screwed!
RE: “I disagree. If it passes it will require people to rise up in civil disobedience.”
*****************
YES!!! I am ready — bring on the civil disobedience, or even add in a little INcivility! The thugs in DC deserve it!
“Keep calling him..if this crap passes, America as we know it is done. I wonder how much these pricks are being paid off to destroy America”
- Multi-millions. Biggest deal in the history of bribing elected officials. Mary Landreiu is going to rake it in. Traitors, all.
I wonder what he got for his traitorous betrayal of America and his home state. Bastard!
I forgot about that.
Everyone keep calling and faxing. I get sick of coming here sometimes because people post so much crap like Chet 99 and pitbull stories. Spend more time calling and faxing.
Keep calling and faxing. get friends and neighbors to call.
Absolutely - call all senators - especially the RATS - let them know they are forfeiting their own careers in 2010 and 2012 - we will not forget.
But a new Zogby poll finds that Sen. Blanche Lincoln, one of a few Democrats who has not yet committed to voting to bring health care legislation to the Senate floor, would face a much tougher reelection fight in Arkansas in 2010 if she were to vote for the bill.
The poll finds that as it is, Lincoln holds a thin 41 percent to 39 percent lead over her potential Republican challenger, State Senator Gilbert Baker. But when pollsters followed up and asked how their support would change if Lincoln voted for the health care bill, suddenly it’s Baker who enjoys a comfortable 49 percent to 37 percent lead. Overall, that’s a 14-point swing against her just based on the health care vote.
Arkansans oppose the health care bill by an overwhelming 64 percent to 29 percent margin, and after pollsters explained what was in the legislation, that number grew to 68 percent to 26 percent.
Who am I kidding? Reid will buy the votes he needs. He only has a year and change left in office. What does he care. Its going to be another crappy Saturday night (House did it late on Sat night as well).
