faux Dem Sen. Ben Nelson spoke about dems. as 'they' not 'us'


this ninny, coward, punk was on W.J. this morning spouting repub talking points as he told us why he was voting yes on Alito.

he said his constituents back in Neb. wanted Alito and that he himself thought Alito was qualified and he "hoped" Alito would leave Roe alone.

when asked about the gang of 14 he kept referring to them as 'they' as if he wasn't one of the 14. and he said he didn't know what they were doing or saying.

and he wore a hideous orange tie to match his hideous complicity.

1. I am one Nebraska that is totally fedup with Nelson.
He is no Democrat.

2. I'm having a real tough time believing that the average American
who isn't keeping up with the Gestapo administration is bothering to call up their senators to vote yes of this guy. Maybe the right wing fanatics who want abortion gone, but I would think we outnumber them. Bill Nelson of Florida voted for the Iraq invasion and asked why, if the letters and phone calls to him were 100:1 against the invasion, his answer was (MOL) "I wanted to listen to the people who didn't write". Be nice to know what the ratio of letters, calls, and emails is for and against Alito.

3. I just downloaded the forms to file to run against Bill
He pisses me off to no end. If he still can't make up his mind which way to vote on Alito, he sure the hell won't join a filibuster.

4. Only BEN Nelson, D-NE, has said he would vote for Alito. Not Bill Nelson,
D-FL. Do you know something otherwise?

5. Can people in the know tell us if Nelson is delusional about his
position that he is voting according to the positions of the people of Nebraska? Is it really that red, especially after the revelations of all these scandals?

Can you also tell us how Native Americans vote in Nebraska and if they were involved with Abramoff?
