Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said Monday he would vote against a reconciliation package that included changes to healthcare reform and student lending legislation.
Nelson said he opposed the package because the student lending bill would make the federal government the originator of student loans, replacing private lending institutions. Nelson said that would cost 30,000 jobs.

Good to see that someone has some “principles.”
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?
He’s against it before he’s going to be for it.
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!
OH how nice of him looking for political cover. Don’t buy in vote this bum out.
“They dont need Nelsons vote. They only need 51 votes. They never could have foisted this healthcare takeover on the country without Nelsons 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.
Ben "The Price is Right" Nelson
He’ll claim to vote against it because it will never make it to the Senate once BO/BS signs this unconstitutional, socialist BS!
You can bet he has been told he can vote against it along with a few other Rats.
Who CARES what a man says, who would trade the lives of the unborn innocent for his vote?!?
This man is offal and should be shunned.
Don’t hold your breath, Ben. A bill is already passed. Reconciliation ain’t gonna happen. You will not be redeemed.
I can’t decide who is the biggest whore. Nelson or Stupak?
He's got what he wants, is no longer needed so f**k the self promoting b@ss turd and the horse he rode in on.
Vent off...
Reward him with a pizza now and then a swift kick boot in the azz come November.
More obvious than ever is that there is no IQ test required to be a senator. What a moonbat loser.
Ben Nelson and Bart Stupak can kiss my a$$!
