For instance . . . The Baucus bill has the federal government paying the entire cost for the mandated Medicaid expansion in the following states: Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Michigan. This is an attempt to bribe or reward the Senators and Representatives from those states using my tax money. Other states aren't getting this sweet deal. Citizens in the other 46 states will have to pay higher taxes to fund this scheme. I'm sure the so-called heathcare bill is stuffed with other sweetheart deals, designed to win key votes. You guys call this logrolling. I call it bribery. The only reason Congressional leaders get away with it is because they're using my tax money to do the bribing, but that makes it worse, not better. Frankly, I think any Congressional leader who offers a tax-funded benefit for a state or district in order to secure a vote, and any member of Congress who negotiates to gain such a benefit, should be brought up on charges and go to jail for violating the anti-bribery law. The laws are supposed to treat all of us equally. Any law that treats citizens of some states differently is inherently unjust, and any law passed using tax-funded bribery is inherently unethical. I believe the so called healthcare bill is both things, unjust and unethical. VOTE AGAINST IT! I'm paying close attention to what David Price does, and will take it into account as I discuss his re-election with other voters. Let's get these bums OUT in 2010 I especially object to the fact that my tax dollars are being used to bribe members of Congress to secure their votes, or to reward powerful Senators.

He announced against Spratt this week. He is by far the strongest competition Spratt has faced in years. You can find contact info at www.MickMulvaney.com Bane:

The man comes back to D5 and makes rambling, mumbling, incoherent speeches and interviews reminiscent of Muammar el-Qaddafi. He caused a room of 700+ to breakout in laughter when he said “I RARELY VOTE AGAINST MY OWN CONSTITUENCY” all the while voting in lockstep with Princess Pelosi 98% of the time. The man is needs to retire or get his “stones” out of Pelosi’ purse and REPRESENT ALL of Dist 5 not just the 2% of the Lunatic Left.

God knows little Larry wouldn't want to go back to raising goats and teaching public school brats again. If Kissell ever had any concern about this bill curtailing liberty, then I sure haven't heard it. Remember, his official excuse was that it took too much away from Medicare; so, beyond that, he must have thought the bill was acceptable.
