Red State ^ | December 15, 2009 | Dan Perrin

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 Nelson’s 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.

Capone was a capitalist.

More of a fascist, I would think - with him as the central authority - but that's an interesting point.

I don’t think Nelson will accept.

Any word from him?

The 'Rats are bribing each other with Monopoly money.

And the credit hit is going to be ours. America needs to get rid of the crooks and soon. The problem is, it appears that the whole system is so thoroughly corrupt that even if there were a few patriots that'd put the nation above their own personal gain the system will limit any effect they may have.

And every day I hear someone asking “what is going on with our government??” More and more are waking up. The question is what will happen if they learn their public servants don’t care about what they want....it could get very ugly fast.

We have, it’s called the Constitution, one does has to abide by it, of course.

Of course it also is no longer being followed for the last 70 years since FDR, in fact since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. But especially since the days of FDR, the U.S. constitution is really no longer being followed in any way, shape or form. The Federal gubmint is corrupt through & through, and our constitution is just an ancient outdated piece of forgotten history. We need Am Rev II to take back our country, throw out every politician (especially the demoRAT socialists) throw out the entire judiciary 85% demoRAT, repeal every law for the past 100 years, and start over. Any socialists who complain, just load them up and ship them to their peoples paradises of N Korea, Iran or Cuba.
