Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons says the Obamacare bill is a “knife in the back” to the people of Nevada. It is the Bernie Madoff of the federal government. He tells FOX News that if you have to pay off every senator to get a vote something is inherently wrong with the bill.

Gibbons did Nevadans proud today by standing up to Harry Reid. He even intimated that there might be lawsuits by Governors for these unfunded mandates. Gibbons who has his own problems with the finalization of his divorce plans nevertheless rose to the occasion for his citizens. Thank you Jim –

You think? And forgive me if I am wrong but isnt a “pay off” a bribe?

The stuff will hit the fan when acorn and SEIU steal the election results in ’10 and ’12. Sometimes the revolution eats it’s own. Just ask Robespierre.

You mean that Harry R didn’t give his own state a sweetheart deal that exempted them from DeathCare? What a shocker. One would think he would he would have been smart enough to do that. Guess not.

This Health Care Fiction Will Not Die
There is a fiction about health insurance which simply will not die. It’s the fiction which inspired Alan Grayson to proclaim that Republicans want patients to die, and which surfaces in almost every pro-Obamacare talking point.
The fiction is that 45,000 people (or thereabouts) die each year “from lack of insurance.” This number emanates from a study released by researchers affiliated with Harvard Medical School. As I documented in my prior post, Grayson Death Number is Fiction, this number is based on assumptions and mathematical modeling bearing no relationship to reality.

RE: people who can’t afford insurance. I know several people who are getting low cost (under $50 a month) insurance through their county.
There are programs out there now to help people, if they want to be helped.

Jim Gibbons is speaking truth to idiocy…

Reid is as corrupt in private life as he is in government. He might have to run for reelection and never put a foot down in NV. He wasn’t liked before this and less since.
