Bill advanced by a bribe

Sat., Dec. 26, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

As you, the voters, sit and listen to the latest news about the health reform bill, it becomes quite apparent that the senator from Nebraska, the last deciding vote, received millions of dollars in funds for his state.

Do you know what that sounds like to me? A bribe.

Most of the senators have not read the entire health care bill. They voted to mostly get it over with so they can all go home to celebrate a holiday they say is wrong.

Christmas is a religious holiday. So between your bribes to get done quickly and your “Let’s take God out of our country,” you are all pitiful representatives of this nation.
