"We won. Shut up and pay up!"

The Washington Times reported last night Senator Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) had told reporters no deal was agreed to after he emerged from a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and other Democratic leaders. He went on to say health care talks were ongoing. What he failed to mention, through all of his rhetoric about his concern for pro-life language in the bill, was the huge Medicaid pay off to Nebraska being slipped into the health care bill. Essentially, the federal government will pay for Nebraska's new Medicaid recipients. The provision is worth about $45 million for the first ten years. In fact, Nebraska will be entitled to 100 percent federal help from Medicaid forever.

Naw, Landrieu got some where around $300M total. So at $45M over 10 years, it means that Nelson is a cheaper prostitute than Landrieu is.
Whores always have a price, always, and they found his.
“In fact, Nebraska will be entitled to 100 percent federal help from Medicaid forever.”
Nelson makes Mary look like a pricey one night stand.
Nelson’s lasts forever.

Time for Texas, too, to tell the fed gov’t to go to hell.
Whatever happens, Republicans should submit a bill that de-politicizes how medicare funds are dispersed to the states, along with a lot of other entitlements. Change the rules of patronage and vote buying.
Looks like he went low bid.
Lots of those senators are in heavily gerrymandered areas with little to no hope of ousting them.
Although I was the first to admit being shocked and surprised at Corzine’s terminating by the voters of NJ.
Thanks for posting that list, BTW.
You're thinking of representatives. All senators are elected from their entire state.
You’re right, I am. People like Schumer, Dodd and company seem to never be defeated in their democrat strongholds. Even Ben Nelson has been re-elected several times, I believe.
It’s been a long afternoon.....
LOL on your tagline, btw.
Dodd’s time is running out. I doubt he will be re-elected next year.
