Freshman Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) in this week’s Republican address condemned the healthcare bill merger process as a “shameful” series of “backroom deals.”

[blueyon]

"“Reports of this deal-making are shameful. Why do Michigan, Rhode Island, Oregon and Nevada get special deals on Medicaid costs? Why do New Yorkers with Cadillac plans get a pass on paying the tax? It is shameful,” he commented."

This is so WRONG. Congress does not care about the people, it's just about the deal! AWAKE UP AMERICA

Of course no one calls out Obama on blatantly breaking his campaign promise of open debate. The media should be kicking Obama’s butt on this, but so far, nothing.

There is another article floating around here by Michael Barone ... he says the “back room deals is typical of Chicago politics”.

What a sham this presidency is!

Why is this crap NOT considered bribery?

This IS NOT equal protection under the law. This is unconstitutional.

I agree....now, which Republican will challenge this???
Orin Hatch? Any Freeper have contact with him?

[savedbygrace]

100% correct.

And CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC are concerned about the so-called "hoax" perpetrated for a day by the so-called "balloon" family in Colorado?
