Surely you arent going to judge and belittle me because of MY choice and MY opinion.  I am entitled to my own $0.02, as is everybody else.  You dont have to AGREE, but you also don't have to ridicule.
[/quOTE        I AM NOT INTERESTED IN NAME CALLING OR SAYING YOUR WRONG BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION,IT IS A FORUM ,GIVE OPINION AND THOUGHTS,BE DONE WITH IT.ITS NICE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN DO THIS ,WITHOUT BEING SHOT.IMO WE NEED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. RUSTY

Maybe the Cornhuskers can donate the proceeds of one football game to the chilren. I was always a little surprised how liberal the state of nebraska is. I know their property taxes are high compared to say Kansas anyway.

“It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection.”

with logic like that, logically, revolution is the only option.  i guess that leaves open the president to appeal the subsection, which would be akin to a king.  hmm, maybe obama could be elected as king, register illegals as democrats with amnesty, and destroy america and liberty without a shot.

Everyone should be allowed to have their opinion like everyone should be allowed to keep what they earn.

When your opinion is that you should be allowed to take money from other people because your representative sold his vote it's gone past the point of everyone else sitting back and watching you people destroy this country with your own short sighted greed.

carl,i am in total agreement with you,but almost everybody in the congress and senate have made a deal and have pork in in these bills,even the good state of ks,got millions to train casino workers,dont figure!they imo arew all crooks.what i don t like is the name calling that goes on this forum when somebody dont agree.i think this has caused some to not write as mush as when sp first started.just imo,rusty

[/quoteStill mad over the end of the cornhusker season, eh..  heh heh.  And the job our coach who YOU NAME CALLED Pologna did .  Surprised that our state is more liberal than thought, or than the states around us?  Let's see.  Kansas, the mother who bore the annointed one as fox news calls him, Iowa, state that started ball rolling for obama in primary, same sex marriage, Colofornia, well no need.

Nelson got a provision FOREVER.  Governors of other states are worried about the extra costs of Medicaid but Nelson doesn't have to worry about that because those states that already have to pay for their own expanded Medicaid will now pay for Nebraska's as well.

Excusing what Nelson has done is excusing corruption.

For the situation to reverse there are two laws that need to be passed and most likely never will.
1.  Term Limits ( Congress wll never pass because they lose their careers)  Their sole focus is re-election and layering bills with pork for their states and districts helps their re-election efforts)
2.  Line item veto ( Congress won't pass because it limits the pork, many past presidents say they want line-item veto but I doubt their sincereity.  If they had it they would become fiscally responsible for their budget.  Under present circumstances they can always blame congress for the deficit and the pork.)

If I thought I could change anything I would run for Congress but I think I would find it too frustrating.  I would want to revert the 1700-1800's.  Pistols at 20 paces and we will solve half the problem

carl,Nelson said he would recind the deal if that is what the REPUBLICAN governor wanted.DO YOU THINK HE WILL?I BET NOT! THEY ARE ALL CROOKS!!!LINDSEY GRAHAM IS TURNING IT OVER TO HIS A.G TO SEE IF ITS CONSTITUTIONAL OR HE SAYS HE IS,MAYBE ITS NOT OVER.HECK ARNOLD IS PROBABLY GETTIN IN LINE TOO! SEBELIUS ARE EX WONDERFUL GOVERNOR JOINED THE GREEN MOVEMENT SO SHE COULD GET HEALTH SEC. WE CAN CHANGE IT AT THE BALLOT BOX.RUSTY

 

[carl s.]

Who cares what party they are?

Are you saying it's okay because they are all crooks?  If not, what's the point of bringing that up?

 

[the angus111]

carl,its not o.k. what i was saying is when they are corrupt,we the people need to send the message by way of the ballot box, that we dont think it is o.k.i am a independent and for whats right  for our country.you are right who cares about the party,unfortunately people in Washington are worried about themselves and not the country.rusty

this is the first time most poeple have paid attention  so closley to the "makings" of a bill and what it takes...nelsons "free ride" for his state  will never happen..for the same reasons you site....but remember that just as easy as nelsons "graff" can be omitted.....opublic option can be inserted....its far from over...today will be an historic day no matter what side of the argument your on.....after today, its time to do some legislating...to bad all the gop is either sticking to death panels/birther speculators/ immigration/ and abortion rethoric....what has your elected officals done for you today???....jbarl

Do you not remember how totally ridiculous the Dems. looked in Washington when Bush was in Office? It's amazing the the majority of Americans don't want Obamacare, But Washington wants it for us.I guess they know best? Can you say 10% Unemployment?  Hit spell ckeck every once in a while.

kids are told the story of scrooge and this is where they learn jealousy, class warfare and voting themselves' other people's money because people just can't be counted on to redistribute it themselves to where they think it should go. 

 

[farwest]

I can't decide where I'd rather be from. A state where Nelson tried the cornhusker kick back n failed. ,one that's mother is from that bore the anointed one that can't pay there own people back there state taxes . Or from the liberal state of pelosi, I think ill take the cornhuskers. 

 

[knabe]

box, what box?

the sad truth of the matter is that republicans elected tom delay as leader, dick armey as whip and a few others.  also, the party has too many hurdles to root out entrenched payoff procedures, same as the democrats.

the american public simply has lost site of the fact of what commerce is.  everything and i mean everything, is owed to them, and depending upon what one's demography is, even more.  it's an endless supply of trump cards where victimhood matters far more than principle.
