If you do not write speeches for a living, you have missed your calling.

Benedict Nelson betrayed his country. Now he’s just another fister.

If anger inspired that, STAY ANGRY and I hope many others are as angry as you and I. That was just the best letter and do hope you really sent it to him.

He had to make an emergency 30 second lie:

“It’s not run by the government.”

What a warm, steaming pile of dog crap Nelson is.


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

Looking at this from Senator Nelson’s shoes, his cleanest way out of his self-induced career-threatening mess is simple. After he has a few days to see how effective or ineffective his desperation ad was during Wednesday’s football game, he has a wonderful opportunity to save face by admitting that he severely misjudged his constituency, that the Democratic Party’s values of cornering and coercing senators into constituency sell-out votes with constitutionally questionable bribes is wrong, apologize, and seek membership in the Republican Party where he will be welcome to return to his previously stated position on the troubling aspects of this legislation and vote his convictions honestly in 2010, before it is too late.

He’s a man who has created a big problem for himself, his state, and his country. His party isn’t going to help him, so if the other major party is smart, they’ll offer him the help he needs.

Sent it via e-mail... AND sent a SIGNED faxed copy to his Lincoln, Omaha, and Washington offices. Let’s see what kind of lame brained form letter they respond with to this fusillade!

You have perhaps never made acquaintance with Ben Nelson. The man’s arrogance towards his constituents is only surpassed by his ignorance of the Constitution.
