This means WE will be funding the bribes. Wonder what Texas is getting. OUT I hope. They'll try to ruin Texas.
ABSOLUTELY! But when did that stop the arrogance in Washington from doing whatever they want.
We need to get the “career” politicians out of govt - NOW!!
Democrats are unconstitutional! They don’t let the small shite stand in their way.
Nevada has one state medical school and one dental school. They are both part of the University of Nevada, but different campuses. Don’t know if that is where the $100 million is going, but wouldn’t put it past Reid.
“I know this may seem a dumb question; isnt this unconstitutional?”
Since when has the Constitution stood in the way of liberal Democrats?
I just posted this thread:
DO NOT GIVE UP! Senate Watch TONIGHT with NATIONWIDE Virtual Vigil (Scrooges in DC)
when you can buy off one state kinda takes away some of that United State thing does it not?
Maybe they’re purpously trying to get this bill killed. Congress is run by some of the most corrupt people to have ever walked the Earth, but thay can’t be that incredibly stupid, can they? They have to know this is turning into political suicide and if there’s one thing, the only thing, we can count on from the criminally corrupt political class is: protecting their own self interest.
So they cobble together this Charlie Foxtrot of a bill and privately hope it gets killed while publically saying - hey we tried.
Yea, me neither - never mind
It is only political suicide if there is an election in 2010.
If there isn’t an election then they’re really not going to want the alternative, that also starts with an “e” and ends with “tion”.
A “fair” election on the other hand.... is the right question. And that’s what we have stay vigilant about.
Aparently we don’t go by the constitution any more....
Even if it were not, this could potentially tie up the whole process with the Supremes until we change out the team in the congress and the senate.
