Ben Nelson Finds Religion
NRO ^ | January 19, 2010 | Daniel Foster

Posted on 01/20/2010 6:29:28 PM PST by RobinMasters

Sen. Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) reacts to the Massachusetts election in a statement (emphasis added):

“Clearly, the vote showed that people are frustrated with Washington...and I am too. 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.

“The Massachusetts vote should be a wake-up call for Washington. Republicans now have 41 votes in the Senate, Democrats and Independents have 59. The 60/40 split that took us too far down the road to partisan gamesmanship is history.

“The vote should end the situation where one side thinks it doesn’t need the other, and the other thinks there’s no need to work together for the good of the nation.

one side thinks it doesn’t need the other, and the other thinks there’s no need to work together

Both of those describe the Dems, Benny boy.

Sorry Ben but you took the brown envelope and there is no return policy other than cement shoes! You just might want to check to see if there is a fish wrapped up in that morning newspaper tomorrow morning! ;-)

Ben’s new religion reminds me of the country jail. Fill of those who have suddenly found God. Usually for the fourth or fifth time.

Republicans should force a vote that any health care reform include all government workers, elected officials either in office or retired. It is time they be forced to live under the laws they want us to live under.

The 60/40 split that took us too far down the road to partisan gamesmanship is history.

Interesting that one of the chief "gamers" is no sending a different message. I hope you Nebraskans do the right thing with this guy and replace him.

Jimmy Swaggert found religion too. He even penned the famous book; A Minister’s Guide To Lay People.

I reminded of the story of another who had misgivings after he had accepted the bribe...

If this *&^% piece of trash gets one more vote in any election for as long as he lives it’ll be far too many. he is the biggest piece of shit in DC at the moment. I wish chuck hagel would pay him a visit and slap some sense into the turd and talk him into resigning. He needs to dissappear YESTERDAY.

If I lived in NE, I’d throw his sorry butt out, no matter what he said lately. The die has been cast.

Ben Nelson is a POS like Bill Nelson in Florida, stinking Juan McCain, Graham-nesty, every Dem in the Senate and 99% of the Dems in the House.

They all need to be tar and feathered and have their pensions and perks taken away when they are thrown out of office.

NO FORGIVENESS!!! When Ben was offered the choice, he chose evil.

Ben, seriously. Just STFU. Like a drunk trying to explain himself to a cop, you’re just making an ass of yourself.
