Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said Monday he would vote against a reconciliation package that included changes to healthcare reform and student lending legislation.

I don’t believe anything any Democrat says. Especially Nelson.

This is because the federal goverment is SO much more efficient than the private businesses that are currently managing the program?

They don’t need Nelson’s vote. They only need 51 votes. They never could have foisted this healthcare takeover on the country without Nelson’s vote!! Never forget!

“They don’t need Nelson’s vote. They only need 51 votes. They never could have foisted this healthcare takeover on the country without Nelson’s vote!! Never forget!”

Exactly right, Nelson is no different from Bernie Sanders, only he votes conservative when the Dems don’t need his vote. This guy is as much a rat as the rest of them.

He’ll claim to vote against it because it will never make it to the Senate once BO/BS signs this unconstitutional, socialist BS!

Don’t hold your breath, Ben. A bill is already passed. Reconciliation ain’t gonna happen. You will not be redeemed.
