Senate Dem Asks South Carolina's Top Attorney to 'Call Off the Dogs'
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:20:49 PM »


A Democratic senator from Nebraska who played a crucial role in getting health care legislation passed in the Senate last month has asked South Carolina's top attorney to "call off the dogs" -- a reference to the state official's threat to challenge the constitutionality of the bill.

In a phone call Thursday, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., urged South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster to reconsider, Politico reported. McMaster is  the head of a group of 13 GOP state attorneys general who are threatening to file a lawsuit against the Senate health care bill.

Nelson asked McMaster to "call off the dogs," according to a copy of the memo sent by McMaster's chief of staff to other GOP state attorneys general detailing the call and obtained by Politico.

The attorneys general are challenging the constitutionality of a Medicaid provision in the bill that they say benefits Nebraska at the expense of other states.

The deal Nelson cut with Senate Democratic leaders to gain his critical vote would exempt Nebraska from having to pay for the coverage of new enrollees into its Medicaid program and leave the tab with the federal government -- a move expected to cost Uncle Sam $100 million over the next 10 years.

But Nelson told McMaster that the deal wasn't his idea and that the same Medicaid exemption would be offered to every state, according to the memo.

Go fcuk yourself, Nelson.  You should have thought about how costly were the wages of political sin before you sinned, not after.  He who pays the piper, calls the tune - so you're stuck dancing with Herr-y Reid and the rest of the New Fascists.

Isn't this just the saddest face you ever saw? Its the face of a man who political career is ruined by not just accepting a bribe, but by betraying his own stated beliefs. Its the face of a man who's constituents know he is a liar. Its the face of a man who's son will never be trusted to follow in his footsteps.
Its the face we're gonna see more of in 2010.

Let's hope so.

I'd like to see every single incumbant replaced this November.  From both parties.

He is a lying sack of sh!t when he says that the deal offered him will apply to other states. Read the bill; it says no such thing. Maybe he will get religion and vote against it the second time around. I doubt it though because these DC turkeys think they know best, and that we are stupid.

Even if he did it won`t matter now as a simple majority is all that will be required for final passage of the reconciled bill from the House.

Senator Nelson, recall your vote and insist the senate bill be withdrawn.  Change your vote to NO.    

What?  Rules say you can't change your vote?  Rules matter now?  Ha ha ha ha ha.  Look around you.  The rules are like bread dough.

Change your vote, senator.  Insist on it.  Tell the world the senate bill DID NOT PASS and must be withdrawn NOW.

Then we'll talk about solving your personal problems.

I can imagine the AG asking, "What? Am I hurtin' ya pal? Good!" And then calling the AGs of the other 49 states to urge the other dozen or so who plan to challenge the bill to stay the course, and to urge the others to get on board. Even CA's Jerry Brown keeps a finger firmly planted in the wind and would seriously consider hopping onto the bandwagon.

No, you are exactly correct.  Filibuster was the only real chance to stop this POS, we are going to get 'Something' our of the reconciliation process that will be passed by simple majority in both houses.

This is like watching a bad soap opera, on a daily basis!  Geez, Nelson - a least “man” up about it!!  His face looks worried, and it should cause he’s gone and pissed off the devil now too...  :evil:

The devil went down to Nebraska
He was lookin’ for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
‘Cause he was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal

I think you are correct but I heard from one of the Repub Senators that some type of parliamentary procedure could force the final vote to have 60 votes.

I am from SC.  Its a unique state and a lot of the old ways still exists.  They tend to take things quite patiently, waiting and watching.  Yet when they get pissed off they dont mind ripping the house apart like a scorned woman.  Keep in mind SC was the first state to seceded in the Civil War.  Even if you go to Charleston you can still see a lot of that old south mentality.  The upstate is a little more middle of the line and liberals try to forge their way in but they have a hard time.  Some of the poorer mid to low country counties can have a more liberal leaning, yet keep in mind when I say liberal leaning its a far cry from what you find up North or in Cali.

Around where I live we already had one guy kill two sheriffs deputies due to the State taking part of his land for road construction, no joke.  People take this stuff seriously here.
