"I reserve the right to vote against the next cloture vote, let me repeat it, I reserve the right to vote against the next cloture vote if there are material changes to this agreement in conference."

Where do we go to place our bets on the next wh0re to jump ship temporally for a higher price?

FastFacts   December 19th, 2009 - 10:47 am

So the question is, what did the President and Reid have on him. A few days ago bribery didn’t work, a day after that a abortion modification didn’t work, they haven’t changed the bill, it still allows abortions but now he is voting for it. The President or Reid must have something good on him and if they do we will find out. What is it, reelection, sex scandal, what? We will find out.

Right now http://www.americanparchment.com is doing investigations to help us know the corruption in DC and the government with their ‘31 Corrupt Politicians in 31 Days.’

How much did Ried, pelosi and olebummer have to pay for your chicken hearted soul, Ben? I’d make a BIG bet you did a lot better than mary from La.

Mr. Nelson I hope you started to plan what you will be doing when you retire in Nebraska, fishing?

freedom rocks   December 19th, 2009 - 11:26 am

Ben is try to have it both ways, he is about to cast the deciding vote to send the bill to the house for reconciliation knowing full well the public option and abortion funding will re-emerge at that point. When the bill returns to the senate, he along with 8 more of his colleagues in crime from conservative states will vote against the bill, knowing it only takes 51 votes for final passage, hoping for cover from the fallout, don’t let them have it. In Ben’s defense, he does appear to me to be going against his will, this may be a better example of intimidation as opposed to bribery.

Woody   December 19th, 2009 - 11:27 am

Senator Nelson has either been bought off or blackmailed because this decision will probably ruin his chances at reelection in 2012.

Jack Ryder   December 19th, 2009 - 11:29 am

All you can do now is pray for the death of these treasonous scum that are destroying a nation that millions have already died for. If you believe in God and believe he has blessed our nation up until this day, and you believe it is his will that we survive, then all that is left is for the hand of fate and the will of God to intervene and eliminate the scum that are about to ruin the gift of freedom and liberty we have been endowed with.

The snow storm. An act of God I hope…..

Vernis Magnetic   December 19th, 2009 - 11:33 am

This man, and others, will be responsible when our country goes bankrupt. What is going to happen to all the people dependent on the government for health care when the money runs out? They should have known better. The information is available in the Government Accountability Office. Ignorance is no excuse. History will not be kind to the people involved.

SAWB   December 19th, 2009 - 11:35 am

Nelson and Landrieu sell out !!! Their vote can be bought. Makes the other Democrat Senators look stupid for not getting their own concessions.

But in the end the Democrats come through for big business. Pharma, AMA, AARP, Lawyers and many others win big in this Health Care bill put forth by the Democrats. They set up the straw man and then pay them big tax bucks for being the fall guy. It is their evil insurance companies that win with their bill, how ironic, er planned.

Mike   December 19th, 2009 - 12:25 pm

Senator Ben Nelson sold out the U.S.A. for a price, plain and simple. What did it take to get Ben Nelson on board the Obamacare train? Harry Reid bribed him with literally hundreds of millions of dollars for his home state of Nebraska and because of it Senator Nelson “caved” on the abortion issue as well. So think of it this way. He garnered hundreds of millions of dollars in what is considered by all accounts a “bribe” and the “love of money” has become Ben Nelson’s downfall just like it has with Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu who received roughly $300 million as a “bribe” for her vote, and other Senators who were promised “the world” if they voted for Obamacare as well. Senator Ben Nelson was pro life up “to a point” but when the “love of money” stole his heart (and his soul) the lives of “countless” babies hanging in the balance has now become simply ‘fodder’ and an afterthought to him. Instead of sticking to his guns Nelson became of latest casualty to Harry Reid’s strong arm tactics and bribery. And the sad thing about this is after 3 years all that money promised Ben Nelson for Nebraska will have run out and Nebraskans will face the harsh reality and the added burden of higher taxes and insurmountable debt just like the rest of the Nation will if indeed Obamacare is implemented into law. So essentially Senator Ben Nelson sold out for three measly years of added ‘benefits’ to his home state of Nebraska and has sold out Nebraskans as well because after 3 short years Nebraskans will be in over their heads in additional higher taxes and higher debt just like the rest of the Nation including Mary Landrieu’s Louisiana. Instead of seeing the “big picture” Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, and the other bribed Senators couldn’t resist the temptation of MONEY and consequently all of America will suffer down the road because of it.

Just one more reason for the American people to “rise up” and make it their priority to throw these lily-livered morally bankrupt treasonous back stabbers out of office come November 2010 and November 2012 and every election between now and then. And that includes Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, and all the other Senators who accepted Harry Reid’s “bribes” for their vote.

freedom rocks   December 19th, 2009 - 12:29 pm

Just an opinion based on body language and context of address, I admit I don’t know much about Ben Nelson, like to hear from some Nebraskans. I do agree most dems have become committed Marxist.

If he is being blackmailed, he should have the b*lls to admit to it. We will understand. We just don’t want this bill. Tell the American people what is happening. We need heroes right now, not cowards.

I swear to GOD I am beginning to understand how the Soviets and now the Chinese feel living under tyranny and it doesn’t feel good.

You know, this has been a socialist ploy for Nelson to get what he wants for his state as Landreu did for hers. If you really think that Demonazis have an moral compass then you are mistaken. They are only after what they want and the worse thing about it is that we are all paying for it. The rules for Medicare and Medicaid are going to be different for each state, some counties within the states. What kind of administrative nightmare will this cause Medicare and Medicaid officials. This is a monstrous disaster for our country.

The Commie democrats have bought off the fraud Ben Nelson and the socialist stinker from Vermont. Now 2010 will have to be a rout to get all democrats out of office; local, state and federal and legislatively annul all the damage they have done. November 2009 was a warning, 2010 will be a fight for this nation…My vision for the future doesn’t include 70 % taxation to cover the venal louts democrats cater to.

Barbie   December 19th, 2009 - 3:14 pm

Good sense prevails with Sen. Nelson. Thanks, Ben! It’s too important that Americans not be turned away from healthcare coverage for pre-existing conditions and that everyone has the chance to be treated fairly by their insurers. How can anyone argue with that? To all you paranoid persons bent on saying “NO” to anything progressive, I ask the question: “How would you feel if you had had cancer and subsequently no insurance company would admit you for on-going coverage…and you were 35 years old…and wanted to start your own business…and didn’t want to pay thousands of dollars every month for premiums…and lived under the spectre of being dropped during treatment…?” Just think about it — just like Sen. Nelson obviously did — and come up with the moral, correct, sensible and non-selfish answer. Change is coming. And all you nay-sayers to healthcare coverage reform will see the errors in your thinking…maybe not today, but someday. And you will be ashamed of yourselves for your lack of compassion and concern for your fellow Americans. Thank you, again, Sen. Nelson, for your goodwill and doing what any good American would do.

Barbie   December 19th, 2009 - 3:17 pm

And, while I’m on the topic, why all the nasty name calling? Is that the only response that you people who post here can add to this debate. You are pathetic. When logic is lost, start screaming…kinda like your crazy ‘tea parties.’ Pathetic.

Buford T Justice   December 19th, 2009 - 3:49 pm

Alexander Tytler – “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising them the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over a loss of fiscal responsibility, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world’s great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years.

These nations have progressed in this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith, 
From spiritual faith to great courage, 
From courage to liberty,
 From liberty to abundance,
 From abundance to selfishness, 
From selfishness to complacency, 
From complacency to apathy, 
From apathy to dependency, 
From dependency back again to bondage.”

The Democrats show how you can destroy a country and create and evil empire in one year. There form of totalitarianism is opposite of the ideals of the United States. The constitution doesn’t seem to offer much protection against a group of Marxist thugs getting control of the executive and legislative branches.

wanted to start your own business…and didn’t want to pay thousands of dollars every month for premiums

So because of YOUR OWN GREED you want to impose your cancer on the rest of us. Insurance companies will fold up and go out of business, people will lose jobs, the vast majority of Americans will be stuck with the only option of Gubment Run Insurance, but hey YOU WON’T have to pay and YOU’LL have your Business. What is that business? Let me guess, maybe a little nitch where like a good parasite you position yourself between the pile of Gubment money and the people in need? probably

THIS IS PURE B.S. All you had to do was secure a JOB for a while that HAD group insurance coverage (group insurance CANNOT refuse to cover you while you are employed) and then later, if you quit or are laid off, THEN you continue your own coverage under COBRA. By then, you are either HEALED or DEAD, but it is no longer YOUR problem–or OURS.

Just goes to show how uninformed you are, ‘To Barbie.’ OK, if you go on COBRA, it lasts only 18 months, and you pay FULL PRICE, not the rates you or your company paid under a group rate. Price that out, buddy. And then, when your 18 months are up, and you’re on your own, for the rest of your life until Medicare — you simply can’t get coverage unless you’re fortunate enough to work for a company that provides health insurance. Explain that, would you? No bull here! If you wanted to start a business you would be out of luck as far as being insured goes…you explain things like Fox News tries to explain their point of view…just a portion of the facts that do not take the problem to its logical and tragic end. Where are your brains? This is not for short-term thinkers, guys. Cancer is no longer a death sentence…but it remains a threat to you for your life…that’s why the insurance companies want nothing to do with you after you’ve been diagnosed. Just wait until something like this scenario happens to you or a loved oe (God forbid)…you’ll change your tune…guaranteed!

THE HEALTH CARE BILL WILL BE PASSED BECAUSE THE LIBERALS AND THE REST OF THE LEFTIES WILL ALWAYS GET THEIR WAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT US THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL OUR LIVES. 2010 AND 2012 CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH. STAY STRONG THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS VERY LONG TUNNEL.

Chet   December 19th, 2009 - 4:47 pm

What’s never been asked of the members of congress is this; When did I become responsible for my neighbors health? Where in the Constitution is it mandated? I have enough to do with taking care of myself now I have to take care of another simply because they’re too ignorant, apathetic or both to do for themselves. The Constitution says many things, each enumerated, including ’secure the blessings of liberty’ which means that I can’t be enslaved by another for any purpose unless I choose to do so. Take care of your own health. If you don’t know how, learn. If you won’t, tough luck. Maybe Darwin was right after all; only the strong and intelligent will survive, and should.

If you knew how to stay healthy you wouldn’t need to worry about pre-existing conditions, or even insurance. The only sensible way to see a drop in insurance rates to show that you don’t need it. As for name-calling, I have a few choice words for people who use the public servants to steal from others but I can’t say them here.

Jack Ryder   December 19th, 2009 - 5:05 pm

The rules of the game are changing very fast. Average people are finally realizing how these scum have become a new monarchy heading into a Marxist nightmare. You will not be able to fight them at the “ballot box”… they have corrupted that process long ago and they are prepared to steal all future elections like Chavez and Castro and Obamadinijihad.

There will soon be only one way to fight them… the same way our forefathers stood up to the tyrants over 230 years ago… Many of the fattened, lazy, ignorant, selfish cowards will be forced to face the truth about themselves. They will either fight or roll over and die like vermin. The days of living off the fattened hog are over.

TruthTeller   December 19th, 2009 - 5:06 pm

Obama and the Democrats in congress have literally hundreds of billions of US Taxpayer money just sitting there in the “stimulous” slush fund to pay off anyone they want, and to spend in whatever way they see fit.

No oversight, no accountability, no controls- just HUGE rivers of unregulated taxpayer money flowing in and around Washington DC- and who’s in control of all this money? Harry, Nancy and Barack.

This is the worst, most blatant abuse of public monies in the history of the United States. And most Americans sit quietly, twiddling their thumbs and allowing these criminals to rob them and their children and grandchildren blind.

America, you voted for “change”. Well, you got it.

Your plan to destroy America’s capability to recover our economy and to defend oursleves seems to be blitzing right along.

I’m saving a spot for you Smitty. The fires of hell are wonderful this time of year.

You Republicans and right wingnuts need to send Bill Nelson over here to us Democrats like you did with Specter. He just brings you pain over there. But we Democrats would love to have a real American like him on our side!

Just let Bill become a good Democrat and then you guys can run your own queerbaggers, or whatever you can come up, with against him.

In fact, just collect ALL of your Rino’s and send them over here to the Democratic party!! Many of them just ran as Repubs because that was where the campaign money was at long ago. But now, why not just even things out and get these folks into the correct parties and get things on a straight playing field before 2010.

US Senate 2016:
Democrats 99
Independents 1 (Lieberman*)
Republicans 0
Conservatives 0

Excellent example of what happens when Dems have total control. I guess we get what we deserve not what is best or what works. Every vote counts.

Senators Lincoln (D) Arkansas has an important vote coming up.

Senators are important people. They should be famous.

What else could we possibly expect from a Leftist.

What was offered? What threats were made? Ben must have made a great “forced retirement deal”!

Totally disgusted by totalitarian Democratic tactics!

I wish that Barbie would shut up and not expose the great deal that we in the insurance business have. Let’s face it…your health is a commodity that we can exploit. If you are healthy, we love you and will carry you. If not…wellllll…in that case we will drop you like a hot potato. And don’t think that we can’t or won’t do it. There are always little clauses that we have in our policies so that we don’t get burned too badly.

Trust me…do you think that we make all this money by paying out? Get real!!!!

Now if you will excuse me…this is my favorite time of the year. It’s when I count my end of the year bonus!!

Five million…

Ten million…

Fifteen million…

It sounds like “I was following orders” over easy our lobster Nirenberg?

So who wants to tell this uninformed Obama voter than Ben Nelson is a Democrat?

Why waist time talking about 2012, 2012?
The Marxist Dems have already planned
hot to steal those elections.
