30 Pieces of Silver for Nebraska
Sen. Ben Nelson (NE - D) is still a target of mine. The more that you look at Nelson, the more you see a career politician who does the best he can to stay under the radar. The current attempt to reform the nation’s health care system has made it too hot for Nelson act like a mole.
Try as he might to whitewash it, Nelson has sat on his hand(s) and got many concessions from other Democrats; while it’s been widely reported that Nelson pushed a very hard anti-choice line, it’s barely made a ripple that Nelson got a very lucrative concession benefiting political cronies back home on the plains. Never mind platitudes spoken by other members of congress, pundits and others that have knowingly been near a microphone and uttered the phrase free market, this has been proven to be red meat for partisan operatives who, by all appearances, are beyond the control of their corporate masters.
While I know of no way how the (working) poor will benefit by this reform package that the U.S. Senate will probably vote on tomorrow, I hope that Nebraska is satisfied with the bacon that Nelson brought home to his cronies, if not constituents.
