Nelson blunders Nebraskan reaction to health care vote
Washington Times-Water Cooler ^ | 12/30/09 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 12/30/2009 4:11:15 AM PST by paltz

A day before Sen. Ben Nelson (D - NE) voted for the passage of the Senate's version of the health care reform bill, the Nebraska Senator appeared confident before reporters that his vote would not hurt him back in Nebraska. Last week, The Washington Times asked him what he expected from his constituents, when he returned home after the Senate recessed for Christmas.:

"Well, two types[of constituents]. Those who are saying very positive things about this legislation and those that have the opposite point of view. There’s nothing new about that."

All of the media are speaking of these poliicians going home to listen to the folks from home on their vote.

My question is this. How will they hear.

I live in Southern Maryland and I know where Steny Hoyer lives, it isnt far from my home, but Steny isnt inviting me over to his Secret Service guarded home for any fireside chats and he isnt likely to make an appearance anywhere that I can get in touch with him and give him my viewpoint. I assume many of these politicians will enjoy their vacation and go back without hearing anything fron their constituents, no matter how badly those constituents would like to get in touch with them.

I dont travel in Steny’s personal clique and I wont be seing him at any Christmas parties, but I would like to thank him for selling my Freedom. For violating the Constitution, and for keeping Nancy’s butt warm with his nose.
