Democrat Ben Dover Nelson, who had previously threatened to join a GOP filibuster of the Senate Health Care Bill, proved today that everything has a price including a mans values. The Nebraska Senator just accepted what Ill generously describe as an enormous monetary incentive to do a complete 180 on his long-time position on abortion funding and thereby gave this awful legislation life with his 60th all-Democrat vote.
Earlier this month, Nelson insisted that he would not support a bill without stronger anti-abortion language:

A new version of 30 pieces of silver. He did better than Mary Landireu. And shows how the Dimocraptic congress is completely out of control and in violation of their oath to the uphold the constitution of the United States.
Someone on another thread figured out that Nelson’s price was less than $3 per year for each Nebraska resident. If you look at it that way, his sellout of the unborn is pretty cheap.
Exhort him! Shame him! Call him back to duty!

One has to wonder the thoughts of the other "Girls", who gave their vote away for free, are thinking this morning?
The old adage rings true today, as it has forever:
Once you identified yourself as a whore, it is just a matter of setting the price.
Blatant bribery.
The RAT senators who gave away their votes should take note and demand something like this in the future.
Perhaps we should demand that the mighty midget mikulski hold out for the same deal as nebraska got.
That’s a good idea. Might set off a chain reaction.

Senator Nelson of Nebraska cut a special deal. In exchange for agreeing to allow government funds be used for abortions, he got a special deal for Nebraska. The special deal was that Nebraska would not have to pay matching funds for Medicade. All the other 49 states must pay matching funds. Many of those state like my own state of California can not afford to pay those matching funds.
Who pays for Nebraska’s Medicare casts? All of us who live in the other 49 states. BS, I say. We should not stand by while Nebraska sucks money from all the rest of us.
BOYCOTT Nebraska! We should not give them any additional revenue after they got this sweet heart deal.
