The more we learn, the worse it gets.
What did Ben Nelson sell his (our?) vote for? Medicaid dollars? Well, Democrat Senators Conrad and Harkin have both said that Nelson's "Cornhusker Kickback" is illusory since the current Congress can't bind future ones. Simply put, he got nuthin'!
Protection for life? Hmmm. National Right Life strongly opposes the language Nelson helped write--language that was so deceptively bad that pro-abortion senator Barbara Boxer gladly received a hug from Washington Ben after he was snookered into agreeing to it. Maybe that's why Governor Mike Huckabee compared him to Judas.
More than 1,800 Nebraskans showed up on a pre-Christmas Sunday afternoon in Omaha with less than a day's notice to protest Benedict Nelson's duplicity. His response? Nebraskans who oppose him are "almost laughable."
Hear that? If you decide to oppose Washington Benedict's vote in favor of the Reid-Pelosi plan you are "almost laughable."
We cannot stand idly by while this arrogant, pompous, out-of-touch politician runs roughshod over our constitutional rights and sells the lives of the unborn to his highest bidder.

Please give Sen. Nelson a break. He deserves our thanks for two things.
ReplyDeleteOne, by attempting to exempt Nebraska from the Medicaid unfunded mandate, he demonstrated how damaging the Medicaid/Medicare cuts will be to states, who are already stretched, if not going broke. And second, Nelsons actions shine a light on the corruption in Washington that has brought this country to the state it's in. Sell votes for federal money in home states, ear marks, pet projects have all led to an unsustainable increase in spending and a debt that will strangle us for years to come. Thanks Sen. Nelson for showing your home state that compromise isn't cheap. The upside? Nelsons Sunday show schedule should be booked up.
Yeah, Mark, we cannot stand idly by while this arrogant, pompous, out-of-touch politician runs roughshod over our constitutional rights and sells the lives of the unborn to his highest bidder. Doesn't he know that we're supposed to do that only to those already living?
ReplyDeleteHad the Republicans taken advantage of their political advantage when G.W. Bush was president and really worked to improve the main concerns of the American People, none of this would be happening. Instead they squandered their chance, simply seeing how much money they could spend. Now, a new Republican Party must rise from the ashes and work to stop or at least limit the work of the left. My thanks go out to all of those who helped bring us to this point. Now the rest of us get to clean it up.
ReplyDeletegivebentheboot.com? I don't get it. Why wait until 2012? Recall him. If Nebraskans think he is not representing them, bring him home. Now.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong Mark, afraid to post my previous comment? Hell, you're no better than Vic Covalt. He wants to censor me on the listserv we use for internal NDP business. I'm beginning to think there isn't a nickle's worth of difference between the NDP and the NEGOP.
