A Nelson joker seen recently in Nebraska.
This is how a democrat shares…
Liberal Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson wants the senate Obamacare bribes extended to all of the states.
The AP reported:
Sen. Ben Nelson said Thursday he has asked Democratic leadership to extend to all states the extra Medicaid funding promised to Nebraska in the health care reform bill.
The Democrat wouldn’t say who he has spoken to regarding the so-called “Cornhusker Kickback” but that he would see to it that Nebraska doesn’t get a special deal.
“At the end of the day, whatever Nebraska gets will be available to all states,” Nelson said during a conference call with reporters.
Nelson provided the crucial 60th vote that brought the reform bill to the full Senate after winning concessions to limit the availability of abortions in insurance sold in newly created exchanges. Among other things, he was promised federal funding to cover Nebraska’s entire cost of a Medicaid expansion included in the bill. Other states will have to begin picking up a portion of the added expanse beginning in 2017.
Nelson has said he didn’t ask for special treatment for his state.
Only 17% of Nebraskans agreed with the bribes Nelson took from Senator Harry Reid for his Obamacare vote.

He’s joking, right?
Note to Nelson: this will not get him re-elected.

Soooo, Ben is in favor of bribing EVERY Senator for a “yes” vote? The more this man opens his mouth, the more I’m convinced that we have the very best government MONEY CAN BUY!! What a flaming red anus!!
The cost (as though we have a spare trillion or two in the bank) would be astronomical – multiple billions – at a time when we don’t have a pot….or the window to throw it out of.
Do we really look THAT stupid?

Senator Nelson has for all shown that he is not just an accidental traitor who got caught up in the moment. He now is the focus of traitorous advocacy. This guy now makes his righteous Pro-life stance a mocking commentary for all of us who have sincerely opposed abortion from the start. A hypocrite of hypocrites. Has he even opposed the disclosure that abortion is back in the Obamacare bill?

Yeow! Ray Stevens comes back to nail ObamaCare in song. Give it a listen, it’s a real toe tapper.

Yes. How else do people like Nelson, Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and the other idiots get into office?
The American public votes for them.

In order to pay for all these liberal programs and the expansion of those on the government payroll, I propose we the people require anyone who wants to be a politician to have to pay a special “Politician Tax” on their income at the percentage rate of the National Debt to GDP. In addition, for each law or bill proposed by a politician there should be an additional tax or fee based on their income at the percentage rate the legislation, once passed, will add to the current budget. Maybe then, we can get back to responsible government which is for the benefit of all Americans.

Good ideas.
I prefer tar, feathers, pitchforks and torches.
Dems first, then any Republican dumb enough to stick around.

Nelson appears to be profoundly retarded. Hey, Ben, if everyone’s on the dole, who’s paying for the party? Not you, I suspect.

Nelson is in panic mode. He knows his Senate career is in the toilet, with the only possible save coming from his changing his vote. I admire the people of Nebraska for not being Harry’s whore.

A sell-out is a sell-out. He want to try to hide himself by making all of us sell-outs but that will not work. Nice try, Ben.

What the heck, it’s only money.
We’ll just print some more!!!!!
Insanity.
This election
NOT ONE DEMOCRAT
ANYWHERE

They simply can not be trusted.
Anyone honest can leave the party now.

I guess he thinks he wont look so corrupt if everybody is taking kick backs. These people don’t give a damn about us or our country, all they care about is their own personal and political power, and of course their so called legacy. Don’t think for a minute that you can shame them in to doing the right thing, they don’t know the meaning of the word. We need to clean house, both houses!

I have two words for Senator Nelson: Shame. Less.
I feel better knowing Senator Nelson didn’t prostitute his integrity for just the Cornhusker State, but for all of us – what a saint. Sure, Ben – it was *just* a marker; 100% federal coverage of *all* new Medicaid enrollees in all 50 states? Yeah, sure … that’ll fly.
Ain’t Nelson a peach?
