Nelson is a good example that proves liberals are stupid.
More likely he is a product of long-standing Senate Cloakroom culture which states that you can do shady back-room deals and slimy payoffs, and most of the voting public will be none the wiser. With the internet, talk radio Fox News, et. al. they simply cannot get away with that any more. But since most of ‘em are old fossils, it appears they are a bit slow on the uptake.
Soon enough he was find out that he works for the people of Nebraska and not Harry Reid and Obama.
Ben was in trouble into 2012 anyway going against a popular govenor. Ben has always said he was for Nebraska, not the Dems or Reps. He had a lot of people fooled until ObamaCare came along. It became the litmus test of his word, Nebraska does not want it, so Ben should vote against it and stand up for Nebraska and agaisnt the Dems as he has promised he would do.
Well he didn’t so that opened everyone’s eyes, and that he took a payoff to change his vote put the final nail in the coffin.
