Democrats get their 60

Governance by bribery:

We’ll be blunt. The ‘health care reform’ legislation under consideration in the Senate is the most corrupt piece of legislation in our nation’s history. Yes, we understand that is a strong statement and there have been other abominations throughout our nation’s life. But never before did corrupt legislation threaten to radically and forever change the live’s of every American.

Exhibit A is the outright bribe extracted by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Corn Huckster State) from Sen. Harry Reid. As a result of Nelson’s performance in his role of Hamlet in the health care deliberations, we will have two health care systems in this country; one for Nebraska and one for the other 49 states.

In its quixotic attempt to ensure everyone has health insurance, the Reid legislation greatly expands Medicaid eligibility. Because Medicaid is a program whose costs are split between the federal and state governments, this expansion in eligibility raise costs dramatically for states. States will be forced to either raise taxes or cut other services to accommodate the forced increase in Medicaid spending.

Unless that state is Nebraska.

Remember the soaring words during the Presidential campaign, the oratory promising to end corruption, all the flowery rhetoric describing how the Democrats would restore trust and integrity in Government?

How's all that working for you now America?

Judas and his 30 pieces of silver are nothing new to this crowd. However, the disease is abortion and the culture of death. the democratic party of death is totally corrupted by this holocaust of 50 million infants in the same way any other government has been corrupted by holocaust. Rome had their killing Christians and slavery. The Nazi had their concentration camps and war. the Japanese had the rape of Nanking and other attrocities. Pol Pot had his killing fields in Cambodia. America has the holocuast of the torture and butchering of 50 million infants. How did it work out for the other butchers? The democratic party has been wrong on the major three moral issues facing our country; slavery, civil rights, and abortion. Every time they have been not only wrong, but sold their souls to keep the evil alive. Nelson, Casey, Landrea, and others have their 30 pieces of silver.

Federal statue 18 U.S.C. § 201 : US Code - Section 201: “Bribery of public officials and witnesses” clearly states that bribery is the “…directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official or person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any other person or entity, with intent -(A) to influence any official act” (emphasis added). The deals stuck by the Democrats in the Senate have clearly crossed the line. Moneys will be taken from the other 49 states to subsidize Nebraska’s Medicare in perpetuity, aka theft. Both acts are felonies.
