Americans are furious over Obamacare. A more massively hated piece of legislation would be hard to find. Yet Democrats are ignoring their constituents and selling out their principles, just to take part in what they are calling “historic”. Ben Nelson is a prime example. He appeared to be the potential lone holdout on Obamacare in the Senate, but instead took a bribe from Harry Reid. And now, he’s paying for it.
1) 2012 Nebraska Senate Race
Dave Heineman (R) 61%
Ben Nelson (D) 30%
Some other candidate 5%
Not sure 4%2) Before voting to approve the Senate version of health care reform, Senator Nelson made a deal on Medicaid payments for Nebraska. Do you approve or disapprove of the deal Nelson made on Medicaid for Nebraska in exchange for voting for the health bill?
17% Approve
62% Disapprove
22% Not sure3) What if Senator Ben Nelson voted against the current healthcare reform legislation being considered by Congress and prevented it from becoming law. If the 2012 election for United States Senate were held today would you vote for Republican Dave Heineman or Democrat Ben Nelson?
47% Heineman
37% Nelson

7% Not sure
Ben Nelson’s Nebraskan constituents are very unhappy with him. Even the governor of Nebraska is unhappy with him. He sold out his state for political favors, and now he will suffer the consequences.
This should be a warning to Blue Dogs in the House. Democrats are anxious to pass this because it’s being lauded as “historic” — which, of course, it’s not. The only thing historic about it is that it may be the first time a Congress has completely ignored the will of the American people so completely. They either don’t completely understand or don’t care that this will cost many of them. Ben Nelson is like a giant neon flashing sign of warning. Look at what has happened since he voted for Obamacare. He took a 21 point drop. That should scare the pants off of every Blue Dog Democrat in Congress, because they’re going to see similar reactions from their constituents as well.
Democrats basically have a very simple, yet immensely difficult, choice to make. Either they keep their principles stand up to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and vote against Obamacare (thus keeping their jobs), or they can cave like the spineless wimps they are and lose them. Which will it be?

doesn’t matter Cassy. Remeber New Jersey? If it comes down to it and all the illegal ballots of dead people, double/tripple/quadruple voting/illegals voting/etc does not look like it will let Nelson win, he will resign and the democrats will sue and find a sympathetic judge who will allow a hand picked person to assume the ballot, said person who immediately out polls the republicans.
Dems don’t lose elections. They cheat and fight the results until the win. Count on it.
Besides, most blue dogs know they’re toast no matter how they vote for this bill. Since they will be going out, might as well go out with a bang…
To What Are You Loyal?

With the crafting of the Hitler-like “IMAB” conditionality in the Senate health-care bill, President Barack Obama’s faction within the Democratic Party has gone over, not only, to the side of the enemies of our Federal Constitution’s most fundamental principle, but, by lending aid to such implicitly treasonous action, has given support to that which is fairly described as the principle of Satanic evil expressed in the usurpatious, and, frankly pro-satanic policies of Britain’s former Prime Minister Tony Blair who has led in reviving Adolf Hitler’s war-time health-care policies, with the active prompting of him by the leading figures of the present British royal house.
Under these conditions, when our republic is under a presently existential threat to its continued moral, and also its physical existence as a free republic, our patriots must make a principled break with the presently incumbent British monarchy. Patriotic Democrats, in or out of the Federal Congress, will prove themselves patriots by breaking themselves free of the control recently exerted by that corrupted administration and its leading accomplices within the Presidency and the Congress.
They, for the very soul’s sake, must join with other patriots in summarily ridding this nation of that evil which is represented by those who have acted to support the frankly Satanic evil which the President has come to represent through policies of practice such as the present, implicitly pro-Satanic, version of the draft health-care legislation introduced under the present Senate leader.
By his actions in this matter, especially those offenses represented by his so-called “health-care reforms,” this President and those elements of his Administration and Party which have crafted the hideous, Hitler-like policies represented by the content of the present Senate draft of that bill, have made themselves complicit, whether wittingly or not, with a policy which is tantamount to that of the Nuremberg crimes traced to Hitler’s health-care measures introduced as those “Nazi Tiergarten 4″ health-care policy under the war-time Nazi law which led to the great genocide for which leading physicians and others were condemned to death in the so-called “Nuremberg” proceedings.
We must join with those nations of the world which had led in defeating the evil scheme which the present British imperial monarchy had brought to the recent Copenhagen “summit.” We must align ourselves with those nations which share the principle which was defended against the evil, long associated with her consort, the Duke of Edinburgh, the which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, had assigned to that Copenhagen “summit,” the Duke’s intention to reduce a world population of a currently estimated 6.7 billions living human souls, to two or less, that at a rapid rate.
We would hope that our sane and honorable “cousins” within the population of the United Kingdom would lend support to what should be, morally, our common cause against the monstrously great evil which the recent Senate action in support of President Obama’s and former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s evil scheme represents as a currently immediate, implicitly pro-Satanic, Hitler-like, threat to all humanity.
