#1 This is the email I just sent to Nelson, my senator (spit):

Damn you Ben Nelson.

Damn you to the 9th circle of hell reserved for traitors and betrayers.

You sold out Nebraskans and all the American people for a mess of medicaid pottage.

You think voting for health control is OK because you were promised lighter weight chains for Nebraska?

Damn you.

#2 the medicaid gift was only one of the things he got

interestingly the left fought harder to subsidize abortions than they fought for a public option

#3 The Medicaid money can always go away in a subsequent bill.

Obamacare will be here forever.

Besides, just how bad can the Medicaid problem be in Nebraska of all places? It's not like it's California.

#7 How does that go: Those who would trade freedom for (temporary) security deserve neither.

#9 Steve, Nebraska's rural population will be hit very hard by hospital and nursing home closings that exist only because of Medicare. Living in rural Kansas has its blessings, but health care is not one of them especially for the elderly which compose about 70% of the population. I find it disgusting that rural Neb. will continue to keep their facilities while we will loose ours.

#10 violates constitutional guarantee of equal protection clause (not that any of these weasels care). What a joke. Vote them all. Better yet, over throw them and start all over.

#11 These a$$holes are, apparently, becoming increasingly proficient (or boneheadedly oblivious to) fomenting revolution.

It is heartbreaking to see the decay of our once-proud constitution and country.

May G*d see us through....
