The highly “principled” Ben Nelson (D-NE) has shown that he, like Mary Landrieu before him, has a price and he’s not afraid to throw the fates of 300 million Americans under the bus to achieve his pay day. He’s not afraid to place his shameful treachery before the view of the unapproving American public. Once the lone holdout in thwarting the passage of the grotesquely surgically-altered Obamacare legislation in the Senate, after round-the-clock “negotiating” with senate Prince of Darkness Harry Reid (D-NV) over the past two days, Nelson secured ‘generous parting gifts’ for the state of Nebraska in return for his ‘YEA.’ The deal that he is purported to have struck is free Medicaid payments to Nebraska from the federal government in perpetuity!

Such a deal!! The rest of us saddled with the worst part of the deal he has caved in to get to pay for his duplicity. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

However, lost in all this deal making was the fact that there was very little compromise on Reid’s part to address the “principled” part of Nelson’s initial objection — the coverage of abortion with federal dollars and the need for inclusion of wording like the infamous Stupak amendment in the House bill. So, rather than finding Nelson to be the highly principled patriot that he claimed to be, we see him in the full light of the sun now that the rock he’s been hiding under has been upended. He’s nothing but a cheap vote and goody whore (like the good Senator Landrieu of the “Louisiana Purchase” fame!) He apparently has the ability to drop his closest held principles like a hot potato when “Mr. Green” enters the room. You know Mr. Green — he’s related to the Benjamins and the Grants, if you know what I mean.

So, now we have 60 little Democrats all lined up in a row raring to vote to pass a bill that they were never privy to in hard copy form till now, and raring to vote for it in record time for such sweeping legislation. Just the fact that Reid and Obama want such speedy passage of this legislative Frankenstein’s monster makes me sure that there is political chicanery and outright deception buried in its 2000+ pages — not to mention the 725+ page manager’s amendment drafted by Reid. Honestly, how can 100 senators give proper study and consideration to such a large piece of legislation given the aggressive time frame between which they were provided the bill (in its final form) and the date it is to be voted upon?

Fellow Americans, we sheep are having the wool pulled over our eyes by these craven partisan politicians. Even in our stong opposition to this legislative insanity (all major polls indicate that more than 55% of American oppose this legislation and less than 45% approve of it.) Shouldn’t the citizens in polls, at town meetings, at rallies and at Tea Party evens be heard and given their due deference and consideration?

According to the 60 little Democrats lined in a row the answer is an unequivocal “NO!!”

This Congress had its opportunity to put forth meaningful, bipartisan legislation to fix the key areas that help drive up the cost of health care, like tort reform and inter-state insurance policy availability. But seeing that neither of these plain view, common sense issues are integrated into this naked attempt to take over the medical industry and put it under the purview of government bureaucrats, I guess we see what the true aims and purpose of the Democrat majority in Congress and in the White House.

And they are represented in large part by and now synonymous with the “principled” Mr. Nelson of Nebraska. The man who held out, then sold out his constituents and his country for what amounts to a modern ration of 20 pieces of silver.

Enjoy your “victory” while you can, oh ye 60 Judases…because your actions have unleashed a truly vengeful genie from it’s sleeping place where it had been bottled up for so many years. Because the way I see it, any senator who votes for this flawed piece of legislation will have Hell to pay…and will face the fury of angry constituents with long memories, and they will find themselves in the future with a new, unplanned political career.

UNELECTED!!
