Nelson Next Redemption Step is Obamacare SAY WHAT!!!

Nelson afforded prime opportunity to show Nebraskans he hears us . . .

It now appears that Obama, Pelosi and Reid have a new plan to get Obamacare passed and signed into law. And according to WashingtonExaminer.com Pelosi's own staff isn't being very quiet about it. 

And folks, this is where our Democrat Senator Ben Nelson comes into play. On first blush, I have a feeling that this is Nelson's worst nightmare. Obamacare, his Waterloo. Cornhusker Kickback, folks are still mad as hell about that and now Obama-Reid-Pelosi are bring that all back up again. Not good especially after Nelson just started down the redemption path with his recent support of the Republican filibuster against Obama's leftist wacko nominee for the National Labor Relation's Board.

So I'm sure that he is peaking around the corner right now and can't believe what he is reading and hearing that Obamacare is ALIVE!!!

So after Mr. Nelson stops shrieking, there is an opportunity that is presenting itself to him, but will he take it?

Nelson can take another step down the redemption path by playing hardball with Obama, Pelosi and Reid. He can gather other nervous Democrats(you can't turn around in a Democrat caucus meeting without running into one of those!) in the Senate and they should march up to the White House and let Obama know that if they try this "trick" as Pelosi's own staff member called it, to get Obamacare passed, then Nelson and his group will hold up every nomination that comes down to the Senate. They will join the Republicans and filibuster every Obama agenda item and they will be out in front of television cameras blasting Obama, Pelosi and Reid for bastardizing the legislative process. 

Bottom line, they should make it very clear, they will bring the Capitol to a complete and utter standstill if Obama-Pelosi-Reid forge ahead on Obamacare.

Now, the question is, how bad does Ben Nelson want to get back in the good graces of Nebraska voters?

I guess time will tell. 

Is That A Dose of Reality We Are Seeing Mr. Nelson?

is this an honest position or just political posturing . . .

Nebraska Democrat Senator Ben Nelson has stunned his fellow Democrats by announcing he will support the Republican filibuster against a radical, far left wing labor zealot from being approved for the National Relations Labor Board.

All of us in Nebraska and across the country should be pleased with Mr. Nelson's announcement because Craig Becker is NOT what American stands for. As the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation points out, Becker “has radical views on the extent of union coercive power, and he comes directly out of the all-powerful Service Employees International Union (SEIU) whose bosses have been as thick as thieves with the notoriously corrupt Big Labor front group ACORN.”

So let me be the first to the thank Ben Nelson. Now, let me add that this better be an honest and sincere position by Mr. Nelson that represents the views of Nebraskans and not an attempt by Mr. Nelson to pull the wool over the eyes of those of us in Nebraska after his outrageous actions on Obamacare and the now worldwide famous "Cornhusker Kickback".

Time will tell and we will all be watching. 

A Stake In the Heart of Global-warmists

it's snowed for four straight days in eastern Nebraska . . .

This is the most prolonged snow season that I've ever seen in our area and I'm having a very hard time rationalizing all of this cold and snow vs the book of Irrationality in the religion of Global Warming.

Then again, with all the scandal out there over Global Warming, maybe there is no need to try and rationalize it. Just take a read on the latest upheaval in the religion of Global Warming as seen in the The Globe and Mail out of Canada.
