“As our source put it, this is a “naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson’s vote.” They are “threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?” asked the Senate staffer.”
Rahm Emanuel can flat out kiss my a$$! What a lowlife scumbag.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Well good thing the White House didn’t fire some attorneys or they could be in real trouble.
Where is the GOP on this criminal activity? Where? ....... Anyone????

The American political system was never intended to run this way. It has become corrupted beyond belief.
Time for a new American Revolution.

Is what Emanuel is doing even legal? Seems there should be a separation of powers argument in there somewhere.

Could you imagine if the Republicans were in charge and did this to one of their “moderates”? This would be seen as horrific by the media.
This kind of stuff just shows you more and more what these guys are after. It’s not about health care...it’s about control.

The BRAC is finalized in 2005. Cannot add and subtract bases to the list by the executive branch.

this is not only a good thing for Nelson but for us...if Nelson sticks by his guns and the belligerent WH continues to show they are willing to sacrifice national security for their leftist agenda they are just digging their graves even faster...it will potentially set up a major fight amongst rat-wingers and offer more fodder against chairman zero..

I don’t know if it is or not, but I hope Nelson tells Rahm to FO.

There are a host of things Obama, Pelosi, and their gang are willing to give up to get this monstrosity passed, i.e. the public option, the Medicare buy-in, and the like, but abortion is not one of them.
They are absolutely obsessed with furthering the killing of babies. Flat-out obsessed. They'll do anything to get to Nelson. I'm praying for him to hang tough.

I think this will backfire big time on the libs. I used to live in Bellevue NE just outside Offutt AFB. There is no other base that is viewed so proudly by it’s community than Offutt. It’s history as the Martin Bomber Plant that produced the Enola Gay, as well as being home for SAC can never be undone. The community has always supported the base and Nelson, as a former Governor knows how special it is.
Nelson won’t cave on this. But a $500 million bribe could by his vote for 0zer0care.
