We will see.

THEY will see....in no uncertain terms.

[Kenny]

Can’t we prosecute these guys for taking bribes in return for their vote? There has to be a way. We should have an army of lawyers looking into every aspect of this, just like the Dems.

[Cheerio]

these people have no soul and in no way do they deserve to be called “Americans”. they are a plague and a pestilence. may God save America from the enemy within.

Sorry, I think God has other plans. That is the way I have been seeing the coming scenario every since last Nov 2008. Everyday this kind of crap takes place just makes be more of a believer. God is not going to save America when the RAT party is still supporting the killing of the unborn. And now the rest of the God fearing American tax payers are being told to PAY for the KILLING. Sorry I cannot believe God will save this nation.

There still is a way to defeat the bill...make them an offer they can’t refuse.

[Gilbo_3]

This perspective therefore allows them IN THEIR MINDS to proceed as we see them proceeding with their middle finger held high at the direction of our very foundation

I can agree that the naive do-gooders in the rank and file actually believe this, but the communist clowns that are shovin this at us are simply clawin for more power over other men, and thus simply driven by their human evil and will never be satisfied, until they are stopped by other humans, or the Lord himself...

You are correct, but the conf report in the Senate must get past another cloture vote, which means we have a continued fight ahead.

Simple majority on final passage, but they have to shut off debate with 60 again w conf report. Earlier post is wrong on this.

[auboy]

Something is very, very rotten in the District of Columbia.

[Windcatcher]

"MY TAX DOLLARS TO NEBRASKA! Please someone call me when we are ready to actually do something about this communist subversion."

I've lost count of the number of times I've heard someone spout off with something beginning with, "If I had a terminal disease..." and continue with a statement involving these politicians, their spouses, children, grandchildren, and anyone else they can get to, but of course it's just talk.

You're right. Wake me when someone actually does something that instills real fear into those creatures.

Nelson votes to kill the babies for Obama.

God have mercy on us.

If all Nelson wanted was for abortion funding to be taken out of the bill.. Why did he get free Medicaid for Eternity?

[Bellablacklab1]

I don’t think the law considers this bribery - I don’t know that for a fact - I think that this would - and I am not trying to be cynical - be considered to be within their discretion to cast a vote according to their conscience. I think there is a constitutional issue - one state being afforded greater rights than others - I don’t believe that will fly - but I have not seen anything on this yet - but it will become a major topic in the days to come.

I just pray that this farce will be ended soon - we have to get rid of the present majority in congress - and I hope we replace them with principled constitutionalists - neither party impresses me at the moment - the greater ungood is definitely the dems - I just wish the repubs would strongly stand for something. They are getting better - but it seems that there is no cure for Potomac fever.

Eight men were asked. Each one volunteered. They were told "30 rounds". And that was it. Quite a Christmas Day there for old Nick Ceaucescu, yes indeed. My favorite part is him giving the speech and the crowding booing and jeering him.

First he thought they were cheering his Communist tirade, then it occurs to him that they are against him. This MASSIVE crowd. The look on that buzzards face, when he starts telling the serfs in Romanian to "shut up" and they just keep it up.

......The look on that buzzards face, when he starts telling the serfs in Romanian to “shut up” and they just keep it up.....

In my mind, that event is filed as “the Ceaucescu moment”

I am anxiously waiting to see it in America and on the face of the messiah

Rumanian "Messiah" challenged at exactly 00:45 seconds. Memorable and Historic.

[Psalm 144]

Indeed. Sic semper tyrannis.

[buccaneer81]

Boycott Nebraska.

I hate the idea of no more Omaha Steaks, but...
