All Democrats need now is 50 votes in the Senate and 218 in the House. In other words, Nelson and others have both betrayed their country <i>and</i> may not get their 30 pieces of silver.

Obviously, it's not fair, equitable, defensible, or moral, and I apologize to everyone who must pay extra so I don't have to. All along, I opposed the Obamanation of our health care system, and I will continue to do so. Also, 3 cheers for Nebraska, the Republican governor was on FOX NEWS this morning rejecting the bribe Senator Ben Nelson got in exchange for his vote. The Governor said Nebraskans didn't want special exemptions, they wanted equal treatment along with the rest of American. It's guys like that who restore faith in representative government.

We are being forcefed a bill we don't want or trust, haven't even seen yet, rushed through on a partisan basis, with payouts for the compliant, and no thought for principles. We can be fined and can go to debtor's prisons if we don't cough up the tax for health insurance (as designed by an elitist that never ran anything and doesn't intend to raise a family). The elitists meanwhile will continue to rule from Harvard and Yale, at least until the Chinese call in our debt.
