DeMint: Nelson Will Be an American Hero if He Doesn’t Cave to Dem Pressure

"Ben Nelson will be an American hero if he stands up and says 'no' to this. The type of intimidation and pressure he's under is incredible."

I think he has strength in his character. I only hope they don’t bribe him with changing the abortion thing enough to please him. Because, they will do whatever they want to get around it after the general bill is passed. This is such a ridiculous time. Can you imagine what we have Saturday Night live in the Senate? Literally and figuratively.

I don’t claim to be always right but certainly am not often wrong about ‘toileticians’ so here ’tis from my heart:
Hussein Obama is a blatant, sociopathic, egotistical liar who will say anything & do anything, including lying to us, to further his agenda of destroying my country by dragging us down the path of socialism, or worse. Now he’s saying the USA will be bankrupt if his health care reform is not passed. Like many toileticians before him, he is using scare tactics, though this liar is much worse than those before him because he truly believes that no one on this planet is as smart as he is nor is anyone else as capable of knowing what is best for the world than Him (pun intended). A person would need more fingers and toes than God gave us to count the number of lies and broken promises this person is guilty of since his usurped inauguration and we can thank ACORN and bottom feeders like them for this devil in the white house.

The Senate will conduct the most important vote of the health care debate on Monday at 1AM. (1 AM is not a typo) The vote requires 60 votes to approve. While on the phone and fax lines at the Senate are jammed, http://www.GradeGov.com gets thru via inside email addresses. So…Send the Senate a Christmas gift from you and let your voice be heard. Tell you friends and family before the 1AM Monday vote to go to http://www.GradeGov and tell the Senate how you feel about the Health Care reform bill. This could be a very important weekend for the future of your health care coverage.
.
Remember, democracy is not a spectator sport.
Stay tuned,

He will cave. I am sure he is just waiting for the highest bidder. None of these losers have a patriotic bone in their body or any principals for that matter. We need to vote them all out and start over.

America…he won’t be a hero in my book…but he will be given respect for standing up and speaking out for millions and millions of “real” Americans who have said NO….NO….NO…to any more spending and no overhaul of our existing healthcare in favor of “government run” healthcare!

America…we cannot trust the ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi to handle any more of our taxpayer money.

They lost over $70 million/billion of the TARP money with no commitment to finding out where it went!

Now they want to raise our taxes and take our money for the next 3-4 years and hold it for us?

Get real!

That is never going to happen!

This overhaul is a farce like everything else in Washington! They need money and they want to raise taxes to get it…and they are using this phoney, baloney healthcare crisis to get it!

They will raise taxes, they will take the money and they will use it before any of us can ever benefit from this so called healthcare!

They want the money now for some reason! Why? What are they doing with this money!

The Federal Reserve holds the answer! Ron Paul has proposed HR 1207 (Federal Reserve Transparency Act) and in the Senate S 604 (Federal Reserve Sunshine Act) to “audit” the Federal Reserve to find out what “they are” doing with our taxpayer monies.

Earlier this year…Bilderberg Bush-Obama gave them even “more” power over our treasury…with no accounting of what they are doing it!

There is something rotten in Denmark (where the Bilderberg Society got it’s start) and it has moved over to America under their puppet…Bilderberg Bush-Obama!

America…this healthcare is a joke…it is a front to launder money for another source!

This legislation will get to the heart of the matter and you need to contact your State reps and tell them to support Ron Paul’s bills!

As to Nelson, I would hope he would do right for all Americans and say no…but being a ‘mentally unstable’ Democratzi I don’t have any hope for that being done!

————————–

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
3. GETTING OUT THE VOTE

REMOVING THE ‘MENTALLY UNSTABLE’ DEMOCRATZI, AND ALL WHO VOTE WITH THEM, FROM WASHINGTON AND ONTO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINES STARTING WITH NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA IN 2009, INTO 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

The only American Heroes are the Men and Women of the Greatest fighting force the World has ever Known. All of The United States Armed Services. For without them the FREEDOM to say NO or YES on the monstrosity and useless Health Bill could never have taken place!

Regardless of your state, contact Sen. Nelson, and let him know your concerns regarding this bill. I think Sen. Nelson is proving to be the only sane Democrat left in the Senate. Finally a Democrat that wants to see an actual bill in its entirety before voting on it.

Where is Obama’s promised, “transparency, change and hope”? So far all I have seen is Chicago mafia tactics – closed door meetings, strong arming, extortion, intimidation, theft, deceit and bribery. And we are supposed to trust these people with our health care? All sane senators, regardless of party, will vote “NO” on any health care bill that can’t wait to be posted on the internet for 72 hours before being voted on during REGULAR business hours; not on weekends, the eve of Christian holidays, nor in the dark of the night.

Nelson will be HOFFA 2.0 if he wrecks healthcare bill

SICK OF IT ALL!   December 19th, 2009 - 4:37 am

They (CONGRESS & HARRY & NANCY & THE BIG O) should all go home, tail twixt their legs, and come back NEXT YEAR with a fresh slate and start ALL OVER. And next time, LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE! We do not want or need massive overhaul of the health care system in USA. We just want everybody to have the OPPORTUNITY (not be mandated) to have health care, if they so choose. We want FAIR PLAY (let us buy across state lines) and TORT REFORM. We want OUR OWN MEDICAL RECORDS and not the GOVT. running our private affairs. We want REASONABLE RATES for our insurance premiums and we want PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS COVERED, if though we might have to pay extra for those conditions. (AND WE DON’T WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS SUCKING OFF OUR HEALTH CARE OR ANY OTHER SYSTEM. SEND THEM HOME!)

LISTEN TO US VOTERS and GO HOME WITHOUT VOTING FOR THAT NONSENSE THAT HARRY REID CONJURED UP IN SOME BACK ROOM THAT NOBODY HAS EVEN READ!
PASS THAT CRAP TO YOUR OWN PERIL AS FAR AS ANY FUTURE EMPLOYMENT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Update,26 minutes from twitter.

Baucus says holdout Ben Nelson will vote w/Dems to limit debate on Senate #hcr bill. Dems have 60 votes for Cloture.

I totally agree.It’s to bad that with funds for the troops fast running out, and the clock ticking towards a deadline on healthcare, Republicans tried to block a key defense spending bill in order to delay Senate debate on a major health reform bill.

Of the 40 Republicans members in the Senate, only three voted with all 60 Democrats to end the filibuster of the defense bill.

The Rethugs in the Senate don’t care about the troops and even less about you right wingers.

THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT! He sold out the unborn!

Ha Ha   December 19th, 2009 - 10:56 am

Let me just add because this really ticked me off.

It don’t matter how one feels about that health care bill,Obama or the Democrats.

The Republicans have shown that they will stoop to shameful and despicable tactics to stop the passage of health care reform. The party of obstructionists are now a party of clowns who have forgone the work of legislating to stage circus stunts. While our troops were in harm’s way on two battlefields, the Republicans decided to deprive our soldiers of needed funding, by attempting to block passage of the military spending bill using a filibuster.

Why did the Republicans jeopardize vital funding for our troops in a time of war? It was a calculated stunt to delay the debate on health care reform, and nothing else matters to the obstructionist Republicans, not even the safety of our troops. If Democrats had pulled such a stunt during a time of war, they would have been attacked as treasonous.

92 year old Robert Byrd was wheeled into the Senate at 1am to vote for the spending bill for our troops.He could be heard saying SHAME,SHAME.
I hope you guys are proud of your Rethugs in the Senate.That really did it for me.

Is THE SLEEPING GIANT fully awake? Has he had his coffee? Its time to roll folks! Washington is not frightened…YET! Merry Christmas everyone! Obama has no respect for what the majority of us hold sacred. He couldn’t even bring himself to serve Christmas cookies in the WH. He and FLOTUS served ACORN shaped cookies.

Ben caved in. Follow the money trail.

Looks like taxpayer funded abortion is now a state opt out.

Guess that means you can still pay for abortions in other states like California and New York.

Senator “Babs” Boxer is happy.
