Thankfully, Olympia Snowe showed a little bit of integrity. "Reid cut numerous last-minute deals to get the votes he needed and powerful Democrats also inserted home-state provisions in a 383-page package of amendments Reid filed this weekend to the 2,074-page bill. Among other items, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., included a provision allowing residents of the town of Libby, Mont., who are suffering asbestos-related illnesses from a mining operation to get Medicare benefits. Nelson won a list of benefits for Nebraska including a commitment for the federal government to pick up the full tab of an expansion of Medicaid. And Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who faces a difficult re-election, inserted a $100 million item for construction of a university hospital that his spokesman said he hopes to claim for the University of Connecticut." And Nelson said he couldn't be bought. Right. Democratic pigs at the trough. Disgusting.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The pigs at the trough are the republicans who held out until their yes vote was bought by the pork they are inserting in healthcare reform. What are you smoking: "All 58 Democrats and the Senate's two independents held together early Monday against unanimous Republican opposition, providing the exact 60-40 margin needed to shut down a threatened GOP filibuster." No Republicans voted "yes". Becareful now, don't shoot the messenger. 8) |
