The White House and Democratic Leadership in the Senate has told Senator Nelson they will close every military base in Nebraska a threat that is not credible, really but they have also offered Senator Nelson between $300 million to $500 million in earmarks, according to key hill health care operatives. These hundreds of millions will be available for whatever he wants to spend them on in Nebraska.
Given Senator Nelsons hard core earmarking history as an appropriator, the word on the street is that this is the real carrot that could get Nelson to agree to some cover amendment that would allege to protect the innocent unborn from government funding of abortion, but, in fact, would not.

Some Dare Call It Bribery
So much for their bogus 'pro-life' claims. I expect them to vote in favor of this pro-abortion bill as well.
Demonrats buying votes with our money to gain support for a bill we bitterly oppose!! There ought to be a law against this. But who to pass it?
get this....latest rumblings from the deranged left are that they should tell Joe Lieberman to go pound salt, walk away from this deal and tell Obama nuts to your Christmas deadline...all because they believe they can get a better deal out of Olympia Snowe if they work on her for a couple more months! Sadly I think they may be correct.
I agree, & believe armed resistance is not far off.
Likewise so much for the blue collar “Catholic Pro-Life” Pennsylvania voters who tossed Rick Santorum overboard because “Bob Casey is Pro-Life, and he’s for the workin’ man and social justice”.
May the blood remain eternally on your hands.
No surprise here. They will use taxpayer money to buy whatever votes they need. The floor was established at $300 million the last vote. Let the bidding begin...and the citizens sit and watch.
Dream on. They will use your money to buy votes for themselves also.
Senator Nelson whores himself for $300 million to $500 million.
Senator Landrieu whores herself for $300 million.
When will the other 56 Democrat Whores demand their $500 million to vote yes on ObamaCare?
I mean, if you are Dorgan ND or Bill Nelson FL or Blanche Lincoln AR, why should you not also want $500 million.
Then after Obama pays off a half dozen or so whores, then the others will demand $500 million for services rendered.
Like Obama’s other schemes at some point he runs out of “other people’s money”
Bribery pure and simple, illegal most everywhere but in the U. S. Congress when they bribe each other.
Rush said that Nelson is being held hostage by a hospital under construction in Omaha (the fate of which hangs with Obamacare) and the threat to close Offutt AF Base.
Sounds like a dandy opportunity to create some mischef by recruiting Nelson over to the GOP with promises to secure both.
“”Americans must really be stupid if they have grown to accept politicians using OUR money to bribe other politicians to vote for bills that will destroy the nation””
It’s always been done but WHY is it so out in the open now??? Just another thumb in our eye??? There aren’t any words left in our language to describe these despicable persons - they’re not human!
Americans were shocked by the amount TARP costed (just under $800 billion).
Now they are apparently offering the whores from Louisiana and Nebraska amounts equal to TARP as the price of their votes on this one bill.
Will the Chinese loan money for that, or will Bernanke have to create it out of thin air at the Fed?
If true, this is beyond insane.
“”When will the other 56 Democrat Whores demand their $500 million to vote yes on ObamaCare?””
What will they call these bribes? They set aside $250 billion and called it “doctor fix” so it wouldn’t add to the cost of the health bill - they have to set all this bribe money aside also, don’t they? NUTS - just plain NUTS!
I heard that, also. This is infuriating, these amounts of money and important decisions being used as threats and bribes for one senator's vote on one bill. If we had decent laws governing the behavior of elected officials, all involved would spend the rest of their lives in jail.
“I agree, & believe armed resistance is not far off.”
As do I.
