"Conditions for staying"...Ben Nelson (D-NE)

[Skidmore]

is looking for conditions for staying in Iraq. I was cleaning and just half listening to Washington Journal when I heard this guy speaking. Didn't know who he was, but then I learn he's a Dem. Is this where we're headed?

1. he's a DINO

from Nebraska.

I heard this morning the reason we can't leave is because the Iranians will take over. Find mess, bush. What a fine mess.

3. Ben Nelson runs as a dem. He's NOT a dem. He brags about

supporting bush** and his tax programs in his campaign commercials.

Nelson is a grade-A, number 1, top-of-the-line asswipe.

6. Yep

2. "I am on my knees every night, praying you will switch parties."

Oh my goodness. He sounded like he was crying.

Nelson: I don't want to change parties.

4. "Conservative Democrat"

He was targeted by the RSCC last year...and won with 60%+ of the vote. How ironic is the Senior senator, Chuck Hagel, is more against the war than Nelson is. But now with his seat safe and Democrats gaining strength in Nebraska, I'll be curious how far Senator Nelson strays from the reservation on key votes.

5. He's More of a DINO

We have to keep the pressure on this old Congress, and put it on the new one in January, to be sure that they do what we want on the economic, international, and political fires that are burning.

We cannot go back to our daily lives until (in no particular order):

1) the US is out of Iraq, and not meddling anywhere else.

2) Election reform has measurably increased election fairness and voter participation.

3) Universal single payer healthcare for everyone is a reality.

4) The national debt is declining as it did under Clinton, and safeguards prevent any piracy in the future.

5) The economy shows signs of grassroot revival.

6) The ERA passes, and women's rights are secured forever.

7) The war criminals are all in jail for life.

8) Marriage is open to all couples.

9) The Constitution is fully restored, and amended to provide more safeguards against fascism.

7. Let's get rid of him

then we can be in the minority again. A liberal is not winning in Nebraska.

8. You Lost Me--Message Garbled-- Please Repeat

10. move to Nebraska

where you can then apply direct pressure on Sen. Nelson vis a vis your agenda.

9. If the Dems blow this opportunity, I'm done with them...

Why am I starting to get a bad feeling about the direction, or lack thereof, that the "centrist" dems want to take us?
