1. Nelson is pathetic.

Freepers/teabaggers everywhere are turning against Brown.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. d'oh

[karynnj]

6. Didn't that already pass?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. That's my question.

[Cha]

2. What the hell is wrong with nelson?

Oh, I was thinking of Bill..but, I know what's wrong with ben.

[lamp_shade]

3. Ben needs his head checked. I think the man is slipping.

[AlinPA]

5. Bond voted for cloture? Is that a mistake?

[karynnj]

8. If it is - he's stuck with it -that's the official Senate record

[AlinPA]

12. Thanks. Very strange that he went along.

[Mass]

14. Isn't he running for reelection this year?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

7. The obvious question:

Is there a commensurate House bill?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. ...that has passed...

[chelsea0011]

11. Now watch how many coward republicants jump the shark and vote for the bill.

[Phx_Dem]

13. Nice job, Ben.

:puke:

I don't understand how one votes against a jobs bill when so many millions of people can't find work. I truly don't.

I understand how a Republican can vote against it -- they're consumed by hatred for Obama, Democrats and the country at large, and they have jobs so they don't give a shit about anyone else. They will though. They'll vote no just like they do on everything, but this vote is going to haunt them come November.

15. Ben Nelson - more conservative than a 'moderate' Republican

He needs to be kicked to the curb - he's no Democrat.
