The one good thing about the health care bill and all the Republicans can think about is race.
Quote from Senator Lindsey Graham(R), SC.

"GRAHAM: We need to offer solutions. But the Medicaid deal, for Senator Nelson -- there's one state in the union where new enrollees for Medicaid will be signed up, and it won't cost anybody in that state money. It's not my state. I've got 30 percent African-American population, a lot of low-income African-Americans on Medicaid. I don't know what the numbers are in Nebraska, but I want my attorney general -- there are a lot of people, Republicans and Democrats, are upset by this."

Does anybody else see what's incredibly wrong with that statement?

1. Sure... he's an asshole... This is just like the
difference between why the repugs and many Dems hate the HCR bill. THe repugs hate it because it's too much and the Dems hate it because it's not enough.

Graham has some bizarre racial issues I won't even go into, but he's right about Nelson. Blackmailing piece of shit that he is. I hope the investigations that were started nail that prick to the wall.

2. Nelson most definitely deserves a karmic slap.
"The repugs hate it because it's too much and the Dems hate it because it's not enough."

I wish that was an OP so I could Rec it.
