Nelson to Vote Against Reconciliation Bill

One of the big reasons House Democrats wanted changes to the Senate-passed health care bill was the so-called Cornhusker kickback, which provided extra Medicaid money for Nebraska.

And Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, whose vote party leaders were courting when they inserted the provision, has disavowed the provision, saying it should be repealed.

But now Mr Nelson says he will vote against the budget reconciliation measure aimed at repealing the Cornhusker kickback and making other changes to the health care bill.

[Theodore R.]

Well, have you examined the voting records of the people of NE and AR — not very impressive people.

[Parley Baer]

Yeah, it looks like Reid is dolling out the “no” votes. Meaningless.

[Drill Thrawl]

Let us remember that it was the TRAITOR Snowe who was the lone R vote that got it out of committee. If it wasn’t for that...

[trimom]

A day late and a TRILLION dollars short.

[GOPsterinMA]

a dirty, smelly, merkin wearing whore!

[mo]

He’s been granted permission..and absolution by Bishop Reid...

Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska is a day late and a dollar short.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This goat knew full well what was going on, and he shafted his constituents anyway.

As we said in NJ back in the day — “Hey Nelson, have a heart attack! On second thought, have two!”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Add ‘a stroke’ to that request. ;-)

THAT needs to be repeated often. BTTT!

[Huskerscott]

He is toast, which is why he is doing this back flip. Let me put it to you this way, the Republicans can rund a neo nazi child rapist who fuks goats on the side and he would win against Nelson.

Nelson promised independence and to be a voice for Nebraska, and everyone found out what a fraud he was. Actions speak louder than words and we can’t wait to vote against him. If recalls were possible, we would recall him.

Thanks La Enchiladita.

[La Enchiladita]

Speaking of Reid, he’s been very quiet hasn’t he?

Ben will discover what happens to a shameless Pol who sells his vote and then thinks that stink will go away.

[Tzimisce]

Already got what I wanted. LOL!

[classified]

Yes he has....What’s going on there? He is old and may be the stress is getting to him. Unfortuantely the old Pelosi is still going strong. Eventually her time will come.

[sport]

It is kinda late for the sob to do that. The damage has already been done.

[political1]

All the republicans should do is vote no on everything that goes through both houses of congress until after the November elections. They should just say hey everything that happens now falls squarely on the Democrats shoulders. They don't need us anyway. In November the US citizens will be so fed up with the Democrats that both the house and the senate will change parties. If reconciliation doesn't pass The far left will be mad as hell because the senate bill doesn't’ include their sacred public option, or single payer option.

[BigEdLB]

Nelson to Vote Against Reconciliation Bill, Until Rahm Emmanuel shows him those discrete photos he has on file, like he has of ALL senators.

Bet you I am right... LOL

[LouD]

So, the hypocrite is only opposed to socialism when it’s his ox being gored?
