Was It A Bribe?

“Utah's lone Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson voted against Obamacare when it first passed the House last year. Then the heavens opened up and Obama came forth to nominate his brother Scott to a federal judgeship. Will the appointment influence Matheson's vote? Was it a bribe?” Only time will tell. Especially if it works and Matheson votes FOR Obama’s health care swindle this time. Keep your eye out. “The League of American Voters is asking this question in a very public way through an advertisement it is currently airing on Salt Lake City television, in the middle of Matheson's district. The ad poses the question: 'Our Congressman Jim Matheson voted against Obama's health care proposals and Salt Lake City is saying thanks. He voted against cutting Medicare by $500 billion, against health care rationing, against higher taxes. But then Obama appointed his brother to a federal judgeship. Some people say it was bribe to get Jim to change his vote. Was it? We'll be able to tell if Jim now switches his vote. Hey Jim, we'll be watching'!" This ad, which costs $77,000 to run, is indicative of the hand-to-hand warfare going in district after district over the health care bill. (League of American Voters)
