…like Nelson has had the fear of God put into him by the backlash against his bribe and is looking for a way to squirm out of voting for the bill again.

Maybe that’s wishful thinking. But we sure are hearing a lot of second thoughts voiced by a lot of Democrats lately.

If there is a provision that EVERY state has its Medicaid paid for by the Feds it would jack the cost of the bill so much higher than the current “official” estimates that it could be a game-changer.

It isn’t that everyone wants your sweetheart deal senator – it’s that nobody wants any of this. Offering more piles of crap on top of crap isn’t the answer. Are these people this delusional?

Here is an answer, anyone running for office should say to the voters, “You elect me and I will vote out all benefit packages for future and former senators and congressmen. That should end this all right now.”

Nelson is toast. Being savaged at home, if he caves now Reid will take his scalp. My bet is a lot of smarmy mea culpas and he bets that voters will have forgotten when he is next up for election.

Nelson stated he was completely unaware of this part of the Cornhusker Kickback. Maybe Reid knew eventually every state would rightfully demand to be included in this deal. If the Senate couldn’t lower the age for Medicare, this was the next best thing.

now he bribes the whole country?

Is to veto his own wetdream.

If he vetos the bill he can gain some credibility with almost everyone.

He needs to realize that he has over reached and needs to come back from the brink.

Heh, who am I kidding??

Obama will sign this piece of crap and lose credibility with almost everyone…….

I saw where SS was not doing so well….and ObamaCare on top of that and no more Chinese money – US insolvent before 2016 elections…..

“…..when first we practice to deceive.”- Sir Walter Scott

No?

Thought not. Now go crawl back under your rock lest we forget we’re civilized people and finally give you the beating you so deserve.

I bet it is now deficit neutral, right?

When will the congressional; clunkers stop their lying … Right after BamBam does.

Notice how BamBam seems more like your petulant little children each passing day.

So basically, none of us have to pay for the Medicare increased costs!

Hooray!!!

The money will magically appear in the Treasury, I am sure.

These guys must think we are all morons.

Just like Dick Morris said (holy cow, now I’m agreeing with Dick Morris), Nelson is like every so-called moderate Democrat. Either Reid’s or Pelosi’s be-yotch. In his case, Reid’s.

obviously his popularity in Montana is in the pits.

He has supposedly been calling some of the 13 AG’s who plan to sue if Obamanationcare passes (party) on the grounds of unequalized federalism, where the feds are doing something like rewarding Montana with $100 million in Medicaid payments but taking $50 mill.. from NJ and NY to do so.

They are obviously all twitted. Too bad not enough to get them to stop.

His medicaid deal was bad, so in order to make it better he is going to make it 50x worse?

I don’t get it.

If all states get $100 million for Medicaid (God knows where that money is coming from as the Chinese are saying no more lending), then everyone does it and no one is wrong or guilty..

Don’t we hear that all of the time? We hate Bush, but altho’ we are doing something no one likes, Bush did it. And then that makes it ok. When Clinton was experimenting with cigars on Monica, the best the feminists could come up with is “everybody does it.”

Actually, they don’t.

Nelson would gain some traction if he would just say he made a mistake, his state doesn’t want the largesse, and he’s now rejecting Reid’s deal. And what is the Sen. going to do? Throw him out? They still need 60 votes.

For all the bickering and spin that rises to the surface, you can bet there’s much more trouble bubbling. Why else would it be absolutely necessary to keep the doors closed? The trouble is not the “obstructionists,” it’s their own party!

nelson is a democrate.he just using words.you dont believe for one second that he is going against harry reid.just say that the mob wants him for a job,he better not say no.back door gifts,behind close door meetings with the crooks in washington.the only thing that come out ,is a crime on the american people.stay mad and vote the mobsters out of office.

everyone getting so bogged down with the kickback that they forget the whole reason Nelson was against this travesty was because of federally funded abortion. The fact that the senate language would actually lead to just that AND the fact that Nelson caved should be enough to have his constituents all up in arms. Come on Nebraska, don’t let him off the hook on ABORTION!!! Typical leftist scam, ALWAYS watch what the other hand is doing with these clowns.

he has already cast his vote. Even if the deal is dropped, he has already cast his vote. If anyone thinks for one minute that the dems will allow this to be up for Senate vote again, you are only fooling yourself. They will make all their deals behind closed doors and then say there are no changes to the bill so there won’t need to be another vote in either house or senate. Why else not allow CSPAN televise?

dems are abandoning ship because they know they won’t get re-elected anyway. That is why Reid put in wording that prohibits future Congresses from making changes to the plan – he knows they are all on their way out. This has not stopped them from passing this or any other of their agenda so that future administrations will spend even more time and money to try to unravel what this incompetent and naive administration has done to Americans. Next, they will try to pass a massive amnesty – expecting all these new ‘citizens’ to be dems. If that is passed, all those may well decide to run again anyway – since they are ‘really needed’.

Article I Section 2 of the US Constitution says “…direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers…” which means no one gets special tax rates – taxation has to be equal (apportioned)!

I say we let this Nebraska exemption stay in so when it passes, it will be blatantly unconstitutional and we can get the courts to throw out the whole health care bill on this one technicality!
