11. I remember when some progressive groups ran ads against him during HIR and
SOMEONE referred to them as "fucking retarded" And people round these parts defended him. (I'm not saying you were one of them)

I wonder if those people still think that running ads against Nelson was counterproductive NOW.

5. It's unbelievable. I emailed him and said, "How can you be 'pro-life' when
you continue to block unemployment benefits which help to feed families, thus sustaining life?" Hypocrite!

10. You should have told him that there may be pregnant women who are not able to afford decent food
and are running the risk of damaging fetuses - perhaps even causing miscarriages.

Appealing to a "prolifer" about families creates images of people already born and we know how much concern there is for the "post born".

6. When is he up for election again?
I want to make sure all the people in leadership positions in the Democratic party have their schedules cleared. This way they can take a break from complaining how they can't get anything done with the Democrats they have, so that they campaign for him like they did with Lincoln.

7. He's going to run against us as his 2012 campaign theme.
And considering he's from Nebraska, it should work handily.

9. That a-hole needs to be thrown out of the Dem caucus
and remove the D next to his name. Fuck him and his ilk.

Lincoln and Lieberman are very deserving people to be thrown out as well.
