“Setting aside the question of blatant public bribery – using taxpayer funds – it is clear that the “deal” that bought Senator Ben Nelson’s vote, and the earlier deal that bought Senator Mary Landrieu’s vote, are unequivocally unconstitutional,” Parson said from his home in Moapa, Nevada. Article IV Section 1 states that the: Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.”
Americans Should Look at Bribes in Health Bill
“Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican, says it appears there — are — enough votes for passage, unless the American people can build enough momentum through “irate” phone calls and e-mails over the next 48 hours to derail the measure.”
“Grassley says, “For the 61% of the people in this country that don’t want this, even after it’s passed the Senate, and I think the more the special interests like the ‘Nebraska bribe’ or the ‘Louisiana bribe’ are brought to the attention of the people, the more negative reaction there’s going to be.”
Bribery Evident in Health Care Votes
“I am so angry it is hard to express my thinking in a rational manner. In order to pass a bill that 60 percent of the American people do not want, our Senate leadership resorted to pure bribery. I should point out that in political terms, 60 percent is a landslide. First we are paying Mary Landrieu, D-La., $300 million for a second Louisiana Purchase to change her vote. That’s bribery. Now we are paying Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., who knows how much for his vote. The bill requires all states to extend Medicaid coverage to everyone below 133 percent of the poverty level. That’s an unfunded mandate. After 2016 Nebraska is exempt from paying any additional costs. That’s bribery.”
“Sadly, certain House and Senate members have voluntarily elected to sell their dignity, their honor, their values, their commitments to their constituents, along with their Constitutional oaths of office, to the Congressional Leadership at “individually negotiated prices, while at the same time, selling out the vast majority of their constituents.”
“It used to be that if you bribed a senator for his vote, you were tried and jailed. Now, as evidenced by Ben Nelson of Nebraska, senators and the White House are bribing senators. See what our country has come to in less than a year under this president and the Democrats in charge. There is nothing they won’t do to get what they want, and the rest of us be damned.”
“Something astounding happened this year, for the second year in a row. Last year the Republicans gave themselves $140 billion in bribes – of our money – to pass legislation which most Americans were against. Yesterday, the Democrats, with Harry Reid at the helm, gave away more of our money in exchange for a vote for the new health care bill – for our sake of course.”
Stupak: My Party’s Trying to Bribe Me

Bart Stupak (D., Mich.) tells NRO that he has one message for President Obama and House speaker Nancy Pelosi: “You don’t buy me off.” Stupak tells us that he’s disappointed that Democratic leaders have offered him legislative favors in exchange for supporting Obamacare.”
Wow. Just wow. Share this far and wide. Newt talks about taking back congress, national security and impeaching Eric Holder. Wow!

Rep. Parker Griffith of Alabama shocked the nation today by switching his party affiliation from the Dems to the GOP.
Good for him! Republican leaders are thrilled.
Posted in Alabama, Democrats, News, Obama, Parker Griffith, Politico, Republicans, congress, politics“Republicans who desperately wanted to beat Alabama Democratic Rep. Parker Griffith next year are loving him today.”
“House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) touted Griffith as a “dedicated public servant who has consistently put the best interests of his constituents first.” Pete Sessions, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Griffith is putting the “interests of his constituents ahead of Nancy Pelosi’s reckless ideological agenda.” Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) says Griffith is ready to “stand and fight” with his new party.”
“Even the top Senate Republican felt compelled to tout Griffith as a sign of things to come, saying the defection represents “growing evidence of the unacceptability of this national Democratic agenda in much of red state America.” But Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who told reporters Tuesday he grew up in Griffith’s district, said the divide is wider than just traditionally Republican enclaves.”
“As you’ve seen the public opinion polls on health care bill, it’s not just red-state America where the health care bill is unpopular; it’s in blue-state America as well,” McConnell said.”
Good morning, America. Liberty died while you slept last night.
Against your will, the United States Senate voted for cloture on ObamaCare at 1 AM on December 21, 2009. They didn’t meet last night to create jobs. They didn’t meet last night for the economy. They didn’t meet last night for national security.
They met last night to take away your liberty.
Below, you can see the video of the 58 Democrats and 2 Independents who voted AYE, as well as the 40 Republicans who voted NO.
Readers: If you’re a Democrat and you think this is good news, I suggest you check in with Markos Moulitsas.
Enjoy the end of your liberty, America.

David Gregory: …What does the president need to address to keep his own party in line? Should there be personnel changes in the White House? What do you think the left is going to demand?
KOS: Well, 2006 is going to be a base year. It’s going to be a base election.
David Gregory: 2010, you mean.
KOS: I mean 2010.
David Gregory: Yeah.
KOS: And according to my own polling, we use an independent pollster, 86 percent of Republicans plan on turning out or are likely to turn out. Only 56 percent of Democrats are – similarly believe they’re going to turn out or likely to turn out. Only 32 percent of African-Americans, only 41 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds. We have numbers like that, we’re going to get killed in 2010. So the Democrats have to start paying attention to the base, have to start probably picking some fights. I mean, maybe regulatory reform could be a way to do that.
Posted in 2010, Democrats, KOS, MSNBC, Meet The Press, News, Obama, Progressives, Senate, Video, congress, healthcare, obamacare, politicsThe government of the United States is working against the will of the people.
NO ONE wants this disastrous health care legislation. The left hates it. The right hates it. Many in the middle hate it. The latest CNN poll shows that over 60% of the American people oppose it. Yet Reid, Pelosi and Obama are moving forward with it. Against the will of the American people.
They used extortion to get it. They used bribery to get it. They used secrecy to get it.
The lack of transparency involved in this nightmare legislation flies in the face of everything Obama campaigned on.
The legislation was never online.
The arguments were never televised on CSPAN.
The bill was hidden from the public.
Yet Reid, Pelosi and Obama are moving forward with it. Against the will of the people.
They are supposed to work for the people. They were put into office by the people. They are supposed to represent the interests of the people. But they think they know better than the people and they don’t care what we think.
Christmas 2009 will be remembered as a sad time for America.
A time when the United States Government looked to the American people and said “Merry Christmas and fuck you. We don’t care what you think.”

Posted in Allen West, Conservative, FOX News, Florida, News, Obama, Republican, Sean Hannity, Video, congress, interview, politicsANSWER: They attack the people they perceive to be the leaders of their opposition. Even if they’re not elected officials.
As the left finds itself unable to defend Barack Obama’s decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, they’re in a desperate scramble to somehow blame ANYONE but Obama for the decision.
Who are the most obvious targets? To whom can the left quickly assign blame for the failure of their elected leaders?
(pant-pant-pant)
Aha!
Pay no attention to the economy, unemployment or the wars, America!

Sarah Palin has a retarded son!
Glenn Beck didn’t sell alot of movie tickets!
THAT’S the real problem with America.
Ignore the fact that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck aren’t elected officials with no power in American government. Ignore the fact that Obama is the President of the United States. Ignore the fact that Nancy Pelosi runs the House of Representatives. Ignore the fact that Harry Reid runs the United States Senate.
It’s all Palin and Beck’s fault!
It’s all Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck’s fault!!!

Posted in Death Tax, Democrats, News, congress, law, politics, taxes“The House approved Thursday a measure making the current estate tax rate permanent, overcoming the objections of an unusual coalition of liberal and conservative critics.”
“The bill passed, 225 to 200, with 26 Democrats joining all Republicans present to vote no. It would make permanent the current estate tax rate of 45 percent, with an exemption of $3.5 million per individual. If Congress does not act, the estate tax would disappear altogether in 2010, then return in 2011 under the higher rates — 55 percent and a $1 million exemption — that existed before President George W. Bush took office.”
“The Senate faces a Dec. 31 deadline to address the issue, but it’s not clear when that chamber will find the time to do so in the midst of its marathon health-care debate. It’s also unclear whether the House’s approach on the estate tax could garner the 60 votes necessary to move forward in the Senate.”
“Some Democrats in both chambers would prefer to see higher estate tax rates, arguing that the pre-2001 levels were fair and provided the government with much-needed funds. Making the current rates permanent will take a bite out of the federal treasury, with the government estimated to lose $234 billion in revenue over the next 10 years.”
“Most Republicans, meanwhile, don’t want any estate tax at all, opposing the concept on philosophical grounds.”
“Death should not be a taxable event,” said Rep. Dave Camp (Mich.), the top Republican on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. “Death should not force the sale of family farms or the dissolution of small businesses.”
