WILL NELSON CAVE ON ABORTION: HEALTH CARE BILL
jgrantswankjr ^ | Dec 17 09 | J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Posted on 12/17/2009 6:33:53 PM PST by freedomyes

Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson says he won’t vote for the “health care” bill if it has any support for killing womb babies.

Will he cave?

If he’s an opportunistic politician, of which they are legion, then we do not know if we can trust him.

If he’s a totally committed biblical believer, no matter what the politics, his allegiance to God’s Word will not waver.

Time will tell.

He’s a democrat; of course he’ll sell us out. Zell Miller was the only one since Harry Truman an honest man could rely on.

The Nebraska GOP has been hitting him hard, here’s what they sent out early this week:

Those in Washington are playing Chicago-style power politics that will ultimately hurt Nebraskans. Below are links to today’s blog postings questioning whether Ben Nelson is being offered a secret deal for his vote in favor of government-run health care.

Nelson offered $500 million for a vote in favor of the current health care bill

Dems threaten to close Offutt Air Force Base if Nelson votes against the health care bill

White House Using Extortion for Nelson’s Vote

What will Nelson’s Pay-Off Be?

Which Way Will Ben Nelson Sway?

The RNC released a new video today urging the Senate and the President to Listen to the people.

We are down to the critical hours of the health care vote and Ben Nelson is THE deciding vote. Is he listening? What can you do? Attend a rally, call his office, send him an email- do anything you can to make sure he knows we do not want government-run health care.

Nelson knows he’s through, politically, if he votes for this thing. How bad does he want to remain as a US Senator?

I wonder if there are any physical threats being made or implied against persons or families? This seems to be Chicago politics and that is part of Chicago.

So government healthcare is still OK as long as it doesn't pay for killing pre-born babies?
I want Nelson to get the stones to condemn the entire bill itself. Not just because it contains funding for abortion - abortion is still legal and any Obamacare bill will have some type of subsidies or funding for abortion, it'll just be renamed under "sex education" or "pregnancy care" or something. If people like Nelson will only oppose the bill because of abortion and not the premise of gov't takeover of healthcare itself, then he might as well just vote for the damn bill and spare us this heroic s--t. Because any abortion compromise will be taken out when the two chambers reconcile the bill anyway.

Obama and his goons will just threaten to take away Nebraska’s Air Force bases and kill its children.

Of course Nelson will fold, but only after he gets his list of goodies just like Mary L and Joe from Connecticut.

Anyone with “D” next to their name should automatically be considered dangerous and subject to the usual pressure from THE PARTY...

I figure he is just holding out for the right bribe/earmark/etc...

I’ve been in-n-out of FReep all evening, and each time I see this thread title, I think that Willie Nelson has yet another love-child “For all the girls I’ve loved before” thingie going on.

catholic nelson better remember his scripture:

‘what is it worth to gain the whole world and lose one’s own soul.’

eternity awaits. . .and eternity is a long long time. . .especially since ‘time’ does not exist there.
