Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson would sign up to shovel walks if he thought it would save his seat! ;-)

he wasn’t convincing

Ah, no. He sure hasn't looked convincing to me.

Any Cornhuskers out there? How's Ben's new shtick playing?

I think he realizes that Reid and BO made a complete fool out of him.

If he thinks supporting this bill will make us forget, he’s in for a big surprise from Virginians.

We will never forget Jim Webb’s vote for Obamacare. Never!!!

“”Mayor Bloomberg was right that New York City should not have to bare the burden of this unfunded mandate from the federal government, but neither should American taxpayers,””

They shouldn’t have to bear that burden either.

Dear Senator Toast

Like you cannot un-fry and egg,

you cannot un-toast a Senator.

Enjoy your new career.

I find Senator Webb to be a barf inducing arrogant SOB plick. Despicable almost to the same degree as Murtha.

Thanks!

To be fair, almost all on this forum would agree with that bill to require all 9-11 suspects be tried by commission rather than by the courts.

The interesting thing is that the bill was offered by McCain, Graham and Webb, who are all trying to reestablish conservative credentials as they desperately run ahead of the tsunami they see coming at them, as is Ben. I don't think they're running fast enough, nor are they convincing.

LOL! I wouldn't have voted for him, either. I long ago learned party trumps person. When you elect a Ben to the Senate you are voting for the PelosiReid health care and climate bills and Obama’s Supreme Court nominees and the whole program. Oh, he may vote against them on some token measure every now and then, but vote for him and you vote for the Democrat agenda.
