I am going to write Midget Mikulski and ask her why I have to pay and Nebraskans dont.

My job, my future, and my country for a box of chocolates.

These are the Democrat Senators up for re-election in November 2010.

One thing FReepers can do in the next 10 months is to post negative/critical news about these particular Senators. Many of the postings at FR get copied to emails.

Bayh, Evan - (D - IN)
Bennet, Michael F. - (D - CO)
Dorgan, Byron L. - (D - ND)
Lincoln, Blanche L. - (D - AR)
Reid, Harry - (D - NV)

This bribe is worth less than $3 per Cornhusker per year ($4.5 million per annum/1.78 million Nebraskans).

Meanwhile, each Nebraskan will have his premium go up by thousands.

Nebraskans ought to mail in three $1 bills to Nelson, to let him know Cornhuskers aren't to be bought for a phony $3. If Nelson ever shows his face again in Nebraska, he should be showered by each person with three $1 bills. If he goes to a Town Hall, a garbage bag is loaded with $1 bills from the crowd, and that bag is dumped in front of his lectern. Every time he proffers his hand to shake, three $1 bills are offered in return. He won't be able to go anywhere in Nebraska without $1 bills being waved at him. Like Midas, everything he touches turns to $1 bills. He'll be driven out of the State by it.

This would make for some great visuals, and a compelling news story.

What I would like to say has to do with things like justice, rope, death for treason, and other things that are only seen in the most fearful of nightmares, but I can’t say these things for legal reasons.

So, I will sit here quietly and shake my head and wonder what the next step will be and by whom will it be taken.

[Ge0ffrey]

You’re a day late and a dollar short.

[Washi]

It's a provision worth about $45 million over the first decade.

So, we know that his "moral" stance against killing unborn children is worth less to him than $4.5 million per year.

[Nosterrex]

I wonder if the people of Nebraska are proud today? Shame! Shame! Eternal shame! Enjoy your perks while you can.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[Captain Peter Blood]

Like Landreiu, Bill Nelson sells out at this price. So much for Morals, Ethics and any political backbone.

From The Weekly Standard’s William Kristol:

“Pyrrhus’s victory became Pyrrhic because the victorious party lost many of its supporters—but also because the opposition didn’t abate in courage, was able to gain new recruits, and had the force and resolution to go on.”

Just for starters, let’s defeat defeatism. Let’s be more resolved than ever to win. Let’s not waste time wringing our hands thinking all is lost. The way to win is clearer than ever—by harnessing public outrage. Another battle looms ahead in the Supreme Court. It’s significant I think that the Italian Constitutional Court just told the European Court—which declared Italian schools must remove crucifixes from classrooms—to go take a hike. I have a hunch our own SC will tell Congress and this president to do likewise regarding healthcare.
