The fact is, no one is surprised that the WH would use these kinds of tactics to get someone to fall in line on a vote, Ben Nelson takes a shot at bloggers and says he knows who is behind it, but fails to mention who...+ another audio of a real threat that was on the air back a few months ago...

It’s about time for a massive march on Washington with pitchforks, tar and feathers. How much more of this BS are we going to take?

I live in Nebraska and I can't stand Nelson. But why would the threat of closing Offutt affect his vote anyway? It shouldn't. He should vote against the bill and DARE the white house to close Offutt.

Nelson is either a man who believes in the greatness of the USA or he's going to be another pawn to Obama. I'm sure he'll be a pawn, because there are very, very few men in Congress anymore, let alone one who is a democrat.

Everyone, keep your powder dry. Nelson: “There are a whole lot of folks on the other side of the aisle who will be embarrassed, if and when it comes out. ... I think it will come out.”

It worked in NY23 where the WH hinted at closing Fort Drum if Hoffman was elected rather than Owens... so why not try it again?

So true. And....there are lots of bitter, angry, 55+ liberal woman in Congress doing their part to destroy the country as well. Half of them don't have a clue.

OK, we'll play 20 questions.

1) Is its ego bigger than all the bread boxes on Earth?

2) Does it want to tax animals, minerals, and vegetables?

3) Do we have more documentation on the far side of Alpha Centauri than we do about its past?

4) Does its brother live in a hut?

5) Is its aunt an illegal alien?

6) Did it attend a Communist Muslim community center disguised as a Christian church for 20 years?

7) Does it have at least 2 domestic terrorist friends who were involved with bombing the Pentagon?

8) Are there lamestream media lipstick marks all over its posterior?

9) Is it unable to speak without reading a teleprompter?

10) Does it surround itself with Communists, Maoists, homosexual child molesters, and degenerates that would have just been executed 60 years ago?

I think I know the answer...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I thought I read that someone was pointing the finger at Michelle Malkin?

“Columnist Michelle Malkin, who reported the Offutt rumor citing anonymous Capitol Hill sources, also reported that Nelson had been promised a ‘bribe bigger than Sen. Landrieu’s.’” - Morton, J, & Tysver, R. (2009, December 16). Nelson pulled by both sides. Retrieved from http://www.nptelegraph.com/articles/2009/12/16/news/state/60004979.txt
