Cash for Cloture?

You know, I am more upset about the lack of integrity from our elected servants than I am about the healthcare bill.  Well, maybe not, but it adds fuel to the fire!

Their lack of ethics and and sleazy behavior is no longer acceptable.  It is time to remove many of them as well as their counter parts who sit silently by while we are fiscally raped and pillaged.

BACK ROOM DEALS FOR HEALTHCARE…

Screwing #1…

First is the "Cornhusker Kickback," $100 million in extra Medicaid money, for Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.).  He also secured an agreement that his state will not pay for Medicaid coverage for any new recipients – EVER.  Yes, forever… they will not pay for new recipients.  As a part of the deal, the federal government will pay 100 percent of Nebraska's tab indefinitely for expanding Medicaid for low-income Americans.

Screwing #2…

Second is the "Louisiana Purchase," $100 million in extra Medicaid money for the Bayou State, requested by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.).  Once she was assured of the money, she changed her vote to yes.

Screwing #3…

Third is the “U Con” deal, Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) had written into the legislation $100 million meant for a medical center in his state.

There are more.  These are only the highlights.

For those of you who voted for these idiots and our Idiot in Chief, is this what you voted for?

Where is the open debate?

Where is the bipartisan “reach across the aisle?”

Where is the transparency?

Why do earmarks remain?

Oh, because it was all lies.  Mr. President, you are a failure and a disgrace.  You are not man enough to carry the shield of title you have been gifted.

It is time for change!
