20 senators demand probe of health-care vote 'threat' Did White House say it would close Air Force base if Nelson didn't play?
scotia
administration threatened to close Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska if that
state's Democratic senator, Ben Nelson, didn't join other Democrats in
voting for health-care reform.
The group of 20, all Republicans, today called for a hearing in a letter to
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., and the
committee's top Republican Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
The text of the letter states:
It has been reported that the Obama Administration threatened the closure of
a U.S. military installation for political purposes, thereby bringing into
question the integrity of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.
The BRAC process was established to remove political influence so that the
decision to close or not to close a military installation could be based
upon military utility.
Specifically, various media reports have stated that the Obama
Administration would put Offutt AFB in southeastern Nebraska on a future
BRAC list because of a vote on healthcare reform. While we recognize the
importance of Offutt AFB as the headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command and
the approximately 10,000 individuals that work there, we feel that this
installation should remain open or be closed on its own merits.
Therefore, we respectfully ask that a hearing be held as to whether the BRAC
process has been compromised. We do not want to see the name of a base from
our state on a BRAC list and think it has been put there to settle partisan
scores. We also do not want our bases to be more vulnerable to closure
because political arm-twisting has taken another installation off the table.
National security not partisanship should determine how BRAC decisions are
made.
Both the White House and Nelson are denying any such threat ever existed.
"This rumor is absolutely false, as the people spreading it well know," said
Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director. "This is nothing but
a cynical, crass political game that is designed to maintain the status quo.
Let's be clear: the people spreading these falsehoods think nothing is wrong
with a system under which families and businesses continue to bear the brunt
of skyrocketing costs, insurance companies are allowed to discriminate and
drop at will, and thousands of Americans lose their coverage every single
day."
Despite the denials, some WND readers have expressed outrage if a threat
were indeed made.
"It is time for some spines on the Hill to impeach Obama and charge him with
treason," said reader Tom Bender.
"This is simply amazing that we the people are permitting this type of
politics in our country," noted another, Mike Kovach. "Not that this hasn't
been done before, but this administration is on a course to destroy our
nation. I am beginning to wonder why there has not been calls of subversion,
treason and sedition against this administration. I'm am a Democrat and I
would like to see all of those in cohorts with this administration put in
jail and charged accordingly."
The Republicans signing the letter were Sens. John Ensign of Nevada, Jim
DeMint of South Carolina, John Thune of South Dakota, Jim Bunning of
Kentucky, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker of Tennessee, Richard Burr of North
Carolina, Kit Bond of Missouri, Michael Enzi of Wyoming, George LeMieux of
Florida, Pat Roberts of Kansas, David Vitter of Louisiana, Thad Cochran and
Roger Wicker of Mississipi, John Cornyn of Texas, Judd Gregg of New
Hampshire, Mike Johanns of Nebraska, Bob Bennett of Utah, Johnny Isakson of
Georgia and Chuck Grassley of Iowa

The lying, cheating Hussein and his simple-minded cool-aid drinking
dummycrats will pull any kind of scam to get what they want. Hussein is
so obsessed with passing a health care bill just so he can say he was
the president to do so, even if it means closing an Air Force base,
costing jobs and economic hardship to an area, just to buy a vote to get
his way. This is what the nation gets for putting a Chicago land street
agitator in the White House.
Barack Hussein Obama...MMM MMM MMM
Send HIM to Pakistan to fight Osama...MMM MMM MMM
Simple-minded lying, cheating dummycrats (the party that birthed the
KKK) and wet pantie liberals...morons electing morons.

Gosh, it sure is heartening to hear from true patriotic Americans whose
vote can't be bought.
Oh, wait a minute -- you're two more of those gullible fools who are
willing to carry water for an upper-class elitist cadre who openly
despise you -- and you do it for free.

Uh, Buzz, the Nebraska Air Force Base thing is simply not true. You
know, your biggest problem is not any Nebraska Air Force base. Your
biggest problem is your fucking NAME. I mean, 'Buzz?' Who the hell
actually listens to a guy named 'Buzz?'

So if the source isn't outed that means it's all a lie?? What'll you
do when Emmanuel is doing the perp walk in his lovely new orange
jumpsuit?? Blame it on Bush?? Cry "Vast rightwing conspiracy"??
Racism?? Ignorant teabagging rednecks??
fargo116
We'll let you ignorant teabagging rednecks know what we'll be doing
right when you get Emanuel to make that 'perp walk' you're talking
about. Whatever alternate universe that might be.

Prove it, Danny Dumbfuck.
Proving that they will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to
undermine health reform, some blogs opposing reform are now trafficking
an absurd rumor that Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base is being
threatened over Senator Ben Nelson's vote on the Senate reform bill.
To be perfectly clear: these rumors are completely baseless and false.
Thanks for your time.

I think Danny Dunbfuck might have breathed in too many fumes while
cleaning the floors at K-Mart.
He continues to scream he'll produce specific documents that prove he
was in the military when you ask for them but I demanded his birth
certificate back around the end of August and guess what? 109 days
later, still no birth certificate. That dude has stalled for more than
a quarter of a year.

fucking stump dumb as you are?
Tim Crowley

Of course we both know you won't. You can't.. You lied. Just like
