Morris to Steyn: Landrieu, Nelson, Lincoln Likely to be "Personally Enriched" for Votes - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | December 22, 2009 | Brian

Posted on 12/22/2009 5:25:13 AM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Mark Steyn (sitting in for Sean Hannity) talking with Dick Morris about the Democrats' push to pass their Senate Health Care Bill. Steyn talked with Morris about Sen. Shedon Whitehouse attacking opponents of ObamaCare.

Morris described the cuts in Medicare the bill would cause, and the increased taxes that would fall on Americans. He also said the bill would result in a rationing of procedures, particularly for the elderly. Morris said the impact of this legislation will be the "death-knell" of the Democrats' chances to hold onto Congress in 2010.

Steyn pointed out that he does not think Democrats care about the coming election. In his view, their goal is to just get an "embryonic" form of Government Health Care in place because they believe it can never be rolled back once begun.

Morris believes there is still a chance to stop ObamaCare once the House and Senate Bills have to be reconciled. He's not sure it will be passed.

Morris also said a close watch should be kept on Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, and Blanche Lincoln because there is a strong chance they will be "personally enriched" as a result of their giving their votes to Obama to pass ObamaCare. . . . (VIDEO)

At least the Govenor of Nebraska is raising hell with Nelson. Unlike Jindal and other Govenors like Crist of Florida. RINO Alert!

So far as I know, our Dem senator here in Florida (also named Nelson) didn’t even require a bribe to vote for Bambi Care.

If the governor of Nebraska has any national aspiration this could launch him ..... just keep being vocal in opposition to Ben Nelson and get him defeated ASAP !! The dems must pay for this travesty - and it must be overturned if it comes to pass - I'm not holding out much hope for the SCUSA finding it unconstitutional - though surely it is!
I hope Mark Levin's Landmark Legal Foundation is laying the groundwork for the constitutional challenge!

In Nebraska they have a Attorney General named Jon Brunning that would be perfect to go up against Benedict Ben.

WHaaaaaa???? There is a “strong chance” they will be enriched???? I thought that was out there, public knowledge,
not even attempted to be hidden!! Blatant, in-your-face,bribery! NOW, you can be sure, since it’s really “no secret”, the bribery will be denied, concealed, and new routes to get money and gratuities to those three states, all due to the pols involved, will be found.

Steyn has nailed it. After all, we are unlikely to ever get rid of Socialist Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc., and all those programs have grown cancerously since they were introduced.

As Ayn Rand has said, this is evil. Plain, naked, smirking evil.

No he did require a bribe. No cuts to Medicare Advantage only in Florida. Our RINO Govenor Charlie Crist is AWOL as usual in calling him out. Another good reason to back Rubio. Bill Nelson and Crist are HISTORY in the next election.

Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman was on FOX news this morning blasting Nelson.

Yeah, he’s a turd.

I can’t believe what Bill Nelson stands for in Washington.

I thought that guys who were astronauts believe in a can-do attitude, not a hand-out attitude. (And, I pray that he’s the oddball/exception to the rule).

Has Mr. Rubio made any statements about this?

Not that I am aware of. He seems to be missing a real good issue. If I were him I would attack Nelson Big Time. I was wondering why more State Officials around the country are not out there fighting for us.

Loved Harry Reid yesterday admitting that if other dem. senators didn’t extract a bribe for their vote then “shame on them!” Nov. 2010 can’t get here soon enough!

I didn’t realize he had gotten a bribe too! He was always going to vote for it anyway, as far as I could determine (according to the garbage I get from his office).

Crist is awful and I wouldn’t expect him to do anything.
