Ben Nelson
I am seriously starting to resent Ben Nelson. Here is more BS from this fool. From the AP

"WASHINGTON — Two senators whose support for the health care overhaul has been in question are speaking out against a proposal to let people as young as 55 buy into Medicare.

Independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut says opposition is growing to the Medicare buy-in. Lieberman says that he'd "have a hard time voting for it."

Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska says he fears the proposal could lead to single-payer government health care.

The proposal was part of a compromise when Senate Democrats dropped the idea of setting up a federal health insurance plan in the marketplace. Many Democrats who favored that option have found the Medicare plan appealing. But several moderates are against it, and Democrats need all their votes.

This guy is becoming a real pest in the health care reform. Let's call him what he really is a DINO (Dem In Name Only)

3. gotta love it, huh!? and these are the people we must find common ground with
to get shit done?

That is the biggest fraud being perpetrated on democrats!

I wish people would stop believing it. Do NOT give that man that much power over an entire party.

Let him go and be a Republican, who needs shitholes like that anyhow!

I would rather the Democratic Party be in the minority, standing on principle, than in the majority with no principle.

What the hell is it worth being in the Democratic Party if these fuckers get their way?

7. If you're tired
lean on someone else. Let them carry the torch for a bit, then get back in the game.

Your voice is needed.

I can really relate to feeling tired.

8. You are not the only one...
and now I can't listen hardly anymore,as I wait for the next Fake Dem to jump out at the last minute with some Fake issue that is wrong with the bill. These people really think someone is playing with them, I am hoping they keep it up they will be getting more than they bargained for with this fake bullshit about how they are worried about SPENDING.

I don't know what the Repugs are getting happy for because if they do win seats they are going to get there asses tore up anyhow because then some who are pretending that they are suffering now because of Obama are going to really find out what it means,they think its bad now just wait.

A lot of us have been seeing and dealing with job losses,homelessness,and other issues with friends and family for more than this year. This shit has been going on for more than 5 years and now that they the (pull yourselves up by your bootstraps/I got mine you get yours people) asses are getting beaten down and now that, its affecting them its an EMERGENCY...Join the club you heartless bastards!!!

4. I resent the fact very strongly that anti-choice
anti-working class people like Nelson get to call themselves Democrats. Until we purge the party of useless Republicans we will never have anything Democratic again. WAR? YES. Health care? No.
