So there we have it. Ben Nelson is a liar, a phony, and a sell-out. Nebraska, you know what you have to do: vote the bum out.

Do the elite polititians care more about their own power and self-interests or the wishes and well-being of the American people?

Today, we have our answer. We have now crossed the line into what America was into something else.

In 2010 & 2012, there will a political reckoning by the American people.

A man and a woman meet in a bar.

The man goes up to the pretty woman and whispers to her that he’s very wealthy and offers her a million dollars to sleep with him.

The woman agrees.

In a soft whisper to the woman, the man asks her if she sleep with him for $20 bucks.

The woman responds by slapping the man in the face and asking him what kind of girl he thinks she is!

The man says, “Well, we’ve established the fact that you’re a whore, now we’re negotiating the price.”

We’ve established that Sen. Ben Nelson is a political whore, they were just negotiating his final price.

My second email to Ben Nelson:

The reports are that you agreed to vote for the bill if Nebraska got guarantees that it wouldn't get hit so hard by the Medicaid requirements of the bill.

Well, if you didn't vote for the bill to begin with, then you would avoid all that at the start without having to rely on promises of folks who have already shown themselves to be both untrustworthy and inexpert on predictions of costs.

Don't open the door and you won't have to rely on the promises of the home invaders that they'll spare your life in exchange for an open door to plunder you of your possessions.

This is just as true for language about abortion. A bill that doesn't get passed can't use federal funds for abortion.

You stand in the way of the bill getting passed. Don't open the door!

Capps unapologetically states she is pro choice. FINE, but pay for your own abortions.Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for something they do not believe in and pay for the irresponsble acts of those who sleep around.

I hope you all have heard that California was funding abortion clinics in poverty stricken minority areas, because Planned Parenthood felt they were most needed in poor areas. So the poor do not deserve to have babies in their minds? Most serious problem was the clinics had no physicians. Midwives and nurses were doing these abortions against the law. Dems placed it in a bill and no one knew it was going on until a senator found out.

http://www.usnews.com/articles/opinion/2009/12/07/bart-stupak-health-reform-amendment-upholds-current-abortion-funding-law.html

The main alternative, Rep. Lois Capps’s proposal, would have set a new precedent for abortion funding, essentially overturning Hyde language, by (1) mandating at least one plan in the exchange provide abortion coverage, (2) requiring a minimum $1 monthly charge for every enrollee in the public option that would go toward paying for abortion, and (3) allowing individuals receiving federal affordability credits to purchase health insurance plans that cover abortion.

Medicaid is another example. In the 17 states where abortion coverage is provided under Medicaid, the states themselves provide funds completely separate from their federal matching dollars for those services—just as individuals on the exchange could do under the Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts amendment. Hyde language sets a very clear precedent that federal funds and private funds paying for the same policy cannot be segregated to provide abortion services. My amendment keeps current policy.

Representative Capps and others claim insurance companies will no longer offer abortion services under the Stupak-Ellsworth-Pitts amendment. This claim doesn’t add up. Currently, the plans covering the 8 million federal workers and their dependents do not allow abortion coverage, yet the companies offering them still provide abortion coverage through their private plans. Further, if just 20 percent of the roughly 50 million uninsured in the United States chose to purchase plans with abortion coverage, that is 10 million customers that no industry is going to ignore.

The price has gone up from 30 pieces of silver to $45 million but the effect is the same. Ben Nelson has shown himself to be a Judas to America.

Anyone in Ne knows the the guy is a left wing, stuck up his ass rat.

But he wins re-election every single time.

Besides: it’s going to be 2012 before he has to run again. :)

Here’s my email to Senator Boxer

__________________________

Dear Senator Boxer,

It has just been reported on Politico that in exchange for Senator Nelson’s vote on health reform, the Federal government will fund Nebraska’s new Medicaid recipients.

This is worth over $45 million.

My question to you is, why didn’t you hold out?

Why couldn’t you have gotten California Federal money from Medicaid?

Aren’t we a bigger state than Nebraska?

Aren’t you a more senior and powerful senator than Nelson?

Where’s our federal funding?

If they’re going to drop money all over the place, California should have gotten some.

Maybe supporting the bill from the beginning wasn’t the best for California.

Thanks for you good work, but let’s try a little harder next time.

What about LIEberman? Was anyone under the delusion he would remain a no vote? He’s a spineless bowl of jello too.

Okay, how many of us are willing to take a vow of poverty, live under the poverty level, give the majority of our income to educating the masses on prenatal murder? We’ve already sold our souls, have we not? Just saying.

Me, I have a hard time believing the terms of any of these "deals" are ever going to be honored. Too ridiculous and grandiose, cut by known treacherous liars. And when the senator the deal was made with is gone from office (soon I hope) there'll truly be no incentive to follow through anyway. NO honor among thieves.

Yes essentially. It maintains the status-quo. But that's not good enough for those who are pro-life. It will pass the Senate by exactly 60 votes only to die in the House. There may yet be justice for God's children in this world.

Do the elite polititians care more about their own power and self-interests or the wishes and well-being of the American people? Today, we have our answer.

We've had our answer, many times, many ways with the Dems in power. We won't be able to stop amnesty or cap-and-trade either.

Also, realize the media played up Nelson's "defection" as more than it was as part of their hand-in-hand with the Left strategy. Get your hopes up in this regime and they will be crushed.

Nelson, you're a fraud!

You got to love the "post-partisan America" we now live in.

Pinch me so I wake up -- this HAS TO be a really bad dream...
