Nelson: Like Mass. voters, I'm fed up with Washington

By Jordan Fabian - 01/20/10 04:13 PM ET

Centrist Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said Wednesday that he -- like voters in Massachusetts who elected Republican Scott Brown -- is frustrated with Washington.

Nelson responded to Brown's Tuesday victory over Democrat Martha Coakley as Democratic leaders were scrambling to develop an alternative plan to pass healthcare legislation after Brown is seated as the 41st senator, breaking the Democratic super-majority.

"Clearly, the vote showed that people are frustrated with Washington...and I am too," Nelson said in a statement. "That frustration will likely register across the board for all incumbents. The overriding message from yesterday is that people are upset because Washington is dysfunctional and not working together for them."

Hey Nelson an honorable person would commit hari-kari or at least resigning after your vote. Then again that is an honorable person/

Gee Ben a little remorse after selling yourself to Harry Reid or is it that you are scared of the voters wrath?

He’s got so much nerve. He had his chance to be a hero and now he will be remembered as a coward, bought and paid for.

Oh Ben, it ain’t because politicians aren’t working together, it is because you democrat whores haven’t the courage to stand up against the communists in your party.

You suck, Ben and you are a coward of the worst sort. Gawd what a fool you are.

Go find some land in Iceland and live in a yurt, Nelson. Then, maybe we’ll talk.

Since he sold his soul, all he has left to sell is his hairpiece. Too bad he is not a constitutional scholar or he would have known that his bribe would be taken out of the final legislation. His excuse of putting it in “as a placeholder” is pure Barbara Streisand.

Note to Ben:

Sir- you can have all the buyer’s remorse you can muster for your vote on NObamacare.

It isn’t resonating with those of us who see you as a total sellout. Then you continue to flip-flop. You are a perfect example of what America does NOT like about Democrats. Somewhere along the way, you all apparently genetically got your spines altered. Now you have none.

Have a nice life in the near future- which does NOT include your continuing participation in Congress.
