Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson announced today that he is going to vote with his party to move the debate forward.

*snip*

“It is only to begin debate and an opportunity to make improvements. If you don't like a bill, why block your own opportunity to amend it?

“As we have seen before, obstructionists are inviting a move toward reconciliation by opposing this first procedural vote. Let's be clear. That route shrinks debate and amendments, eliminates bipartisanship and needs only 50 votes to pass a bill.

[MaestroLC]

Weasel. Liar.

Blue Dog, my behind.

[LS]

Bwa-hahahahah. All the fools here who think that ANY “blue dog” or ANY “moderate Democrat” exists needs to have their head examined. I said earlier this week that this bill was a done deal, and that all that was being discussed was who would get to opt out so the Dems could substitute Collins or Snow or Graham or McCain.

[ozzymandus]

Big suprise. He’s a RAT, and a stupid one, even by RAT standards.

[Made In The USA]

I only see Leiberman as a hold-out. All the other registered socialists (democrats) will fall in line. I perceive the current hold-outs as just posturing.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Another lying scum.

[NFHale]

There are Americans... and then there are Democrats.

Pretty much sums it up.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They have to be made to realize that the price is their office.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

We knew all along what he is. That leaves, in the resounding lyrics of Brecht:

“What was your price?”

[b4its2late]

He must’ve been promised something...

[paulycy]

If you don't like a bill, why block your own opportunity to amend it?

Gee, I don't know. How about taking steps to kill it entirely?

[b4its2late]

All the other registered socialists (democrats and that POS Sanders) will fall in line.

There, helped you out a bit......

[Cheetahcat]

Two faced Pinko nothing more.

[TNCMAXQ]

Will Snowe or Collins cave? If not, and Lieberman hold firm, that is 41 votes there. Though maybe when it comes to final passage they could still pick up Lincoln.

As far as Nelson goes, he is not as bad as some of them but it is time to work on getting him out now. He is up in 2012 so some challenger should start raising funds now. Not too early. We can hope maybe ‘12 will be like another 1980, with the Demo president and many senators being swept out.

[MrDem]

WEASEL LYING SCUMBAG SUPREME!

[red meat conservative]

Unlike Blanche Lincoln this backstabbing liar is not up for election this cycle. He is hedging his bets that it will be forgotten by the time he is up again. We must make him pay. This is Nebraska for gods sake!

[mrsmel]

Not surprised. Hussein and his henchman Rahm Emmanuel haven't been wasting any opportunities to either bribe or blackmail, as the case may be, to get this passed. It's not just a "healthcare" bill, it's a huge expansion of government which will never be overturned once passed. It will give the rats unprecedented powers, and I believe that there are more than a few Republicans who are not averse to that either.

What I'd really love to see is a sincere and determined attempt by some congressman with integrity (I know, a mythical animal) to make Congress be forced to have this same "healthcare" they are foisting on us. Not a token gesture like it usually is, but a real sustained effort, which Congress would be obliged to publicly answer, as to why the "healthcare" they are forcing down our throats (and remember, this isn't really about healthcare, it's about expanding government power) isn't good enough for them.

Of course, they are hell bent on doing this TO the American people. They are building a new base of government workers. America will be just like California, or any of the dependent high tax democrat cities.

If I have this right they plan on collecting huge taxes for 4 yars before any “benefits” take place. If the American people don’t throw them out and repeal well then the deserve what they get, sad to say.

[ScottinVA]

Ben Nelson = whore.

[444Flyer]

Let all the sellouts names who vote ‘yes’ for this nation killing bill be put on the list of whom our country’s traitors are/were, which includes the likes of Benedict Arnold.

[ScottinVA]

Ben Nelson = whore.

Enjoy your 30 pieces of silver, scumbag.
