Sen. Ben Nelson Sold Out and Gave Us a Snow- Job (Special Saturday Posting)

Posted by Billy on Saturday, December 19, 2009 11:08:50 PM
Below  is what my friend  Denny  Hartford  posted on his pro life blog today (Vital Signs Blog,  ) in light of  Ben Nelson deciding to support Obamacare.)

He got his moment in the press spotlight and then did just what we all feared (and some of us suspected), he caved-in completely. There's no way to spin this. He sold out to the radical leftists now running the Democrat Party and now is on board with the most extreme of abortion rights agitators.

Nebraskans must begin working right now to remove Ben Nelson from the Senate at the next opportunity.

(I agree 100% with Denny. I have already sent an email to my local paper we shall see if they publish it. While all this is going on a snow storm is hitting the East Cost including Washington D.C. Many of us here in Nebraska and I bet many around the nation had  wish that Nelson along with others who have been pushing healthcare  had been snowed in. However it is fitting that D.C. is being hit by a snow storm because it now looks like Sen. Nelson has given the people of Nebraska and America a snow job. Sen. Nelson sold out. By supporting this new  government  program Nelson has said...
A.  Yes  to  tax funded    abortions.
B. Yes to more taxes.
C. Yes to cuts in  medicare. 
   Thanks Sen. Nelson for putting your party ahead  of   Nebraska values.  At the next election  the  majority of Nebraska voters should give Mr. Nelson a pink slip. Read more on this issue  Nelson votes for 'historic' bill.)

Healthcare bill 'may not make it'

Posted by Billy on Friday, December 18, 2009 12:57:49 PM

The big question in Washington, DC, remains:  Will healthcare legislation pass in the Senate before lawmakers head home for Christmas?

 

A week before Christmas, Senate Democrats are still struggling to find 60 votes for their massive healthcare reform bill.

Brian Darling, director of Senate relations for The Heritage Foundation, says although the situation is still in flux, he believes there will be a vote in the Senate on the healthcare bill before Christmas. ( Healthcare bill 'may not make it' )

 
"It seems like moment to moment the landscape changes," Darling notes.  "You had [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid announcing a big deal late last week, and so it appeared that the bill was going to pass.  
 
The Heritage spokesman says the only way the Democrats can get the bill passed is if they make all of their caucus happy -- which to date has been an elusive goal.

(Watch for Sen. Reid, President Obama, and other  leaders from the Democrats to try give the farm   to people like Sen. Nelson to get his support. Let us pray whatever it takes may Obamacare not become the law of the land.)

San Francisco challenged on 'Catholic bashing'

Posted by Billy on Friday, December 18, 2009 12:42:18 PM

A decision concerning a lawsuit filed against San Francisco for bashing Catholics will be reached within the next few months.

 

The case challenges a resolution given by the Board of Supervisors of the city and county which essentially condemns the Catholic Church for its moral beliefs, especially those in relation to homosexuality and adoption of children by homosexuals. (San Francisco challenged on 'Catholic bashing' )

 

Robert Muise of the Thomas More Law Center argued the case on the basis of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids Congress from establishing a state religion and prevents hostility toward religion.

(Today no group can be bashed but those of us of faith. Jesus did tell us  people would hate us because we know him at the same time government will not  take part in perception on anyone or any group unless it is a person of faith.)

Franken Shuts Down Lieberman on Senate Floor

Posted by Billy on Friday, December 18, 2009 12:32:58 PM

Democratic Sen. Al Franken took the unusual step Thursday of shutting down Sen. Joe Lieberman on the Senate floor.

Franken was presiding over the Senate Thursday afternoon as Lieberman spoke about amendments he planned to offer to the bill. 

"In my capacity as the senator from Minnesota, I object," Franken said.

Franken's spokeswoman, Jess McIntosh, said that the Minnesota senator wouldn't allow Lieberman to continue because time limits were being enforced by Senate leaders rushing to finish a defense spending bill and get to the health bill.

(So lets rush everything for the sakye of health care never mind if we are rude. Read more of the above story Franken Shuts Down Lieberman on Senate Floor.)

Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel Christmas- Holiday Gifts

Posted by Billy on Friday, December 18, 2009 12:06:16 PM

Sarah Palin? Check. Tiger Woods? Yep. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? There’s something for them, too. Even  Cheney makes his way onto Cal and Bob’s holiday shopping list.


Today: Holiday gifts.

Cal: It's that most wonderful time of the year again, Bob, as the tinny music blaring from the shopping mall speakers reminds us. So let's play Santa and spread Christmas cheer to our favorite — or not-so-favorite — politicians and celebrities. My first gift, wrapped in a nice bow, goes to Tiger Woods. It's a week of marriage counseling, courtesy of Dr. Phil. And to Tiger's wife, Elin, goes an electronic bracelet. Not for her, but so that she can keep track of her philandering husband.

Bob: That's a tough beginning, Cal, so in that spirit let me award the Republicans in Congress a very large stop sign, symbolic of their continuing opposition to everything President Obama has proposed. In my 30 years in Washington, I have never seen a more polarizing, politically conniving, party-first/country-last crowd than the members of the GOP in the Senate and the House.

Cal: Books always make nice gifts. So I'm going to deliver a leatherbound U.S. history text to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who had the gall to equate Republican opposition to the health care bill with those who supported slavery and opposed the Civil Rights Act. If Reid reads the book, he'll learn that Republican Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation and Southern Democrats led the opposition to civil rights. And to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, I'll give her a year of flights on Southwest Airlines so she can mingle with the public she was elected to serve rather than traversing the country on government jets.

(The above is part of a USA Today column written by Cal Thomas and Bob  Beckel.    Continue reading "Column: Gifts for the naughty and nice among us " ».)

Christmas Vote on Health Care!

Posted by Billy on Friday, December 18, 2009 11:27:35 AM

 A moderate Democrat whose vote could be crucial said Thursday an attempted Senate compromise on abortion is unsatisfactory, raising doubts about whether the chamber can pass President Barack Obama's health care overhaul by Christmas.

"As it is, without modifications, the language concerning abortion is not sufficient," Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, a key holdout on the health care bill, said in a statement after first making his concerns known to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Nelson said there were positive improvements dealing with teen pregnancy and adoption, and that he was open to further negotiations. But in a radio interview earlier in the day with KLIN in Lincoln, Nebraska, Nelson also said that abortion wasn't his only concern and he didn't see how the Christmas deadline was achievable.

The development came with Senate leaders working round the clock trying to finalize their 10-year, nearly $1 trillion bill in time for a final vote on Christmas Eve. Nelson is emerging as a major obstacle - perhaps the only remaining one - since Democrats need his vote to have the 60 necessary to overcome Republican stalling tactics.

(This is an outrage. At a time of the year when people are thinking about when the Lord came and how he brings peace into the hearts and souls of his followers, the Senate is going to vote on health care. My guess is this is a political move. Sen. Reid and the Democrats are thinking if they change the best health care system in the world on Christmas Eve no one be watching. Sen. Reid and others in his party including the President have the attitude that a bad bill is better than no bill. This vote and the debate should not be rushed or cut short. Shame on the Democrats!) Lets hope that they fail. Read more on this story DEMS PLANS CHRISTMAS EVE VOTE ON HEALTH!)

Does Sen. Ben Nelson Stand in the Way of Health Care Victory

Posted by Billy on Friday, December 18, 2009 11:13:40 AM
For 36 years, the controversial Roe v. Wade decision set the ground rules for abortion law in the United States, but the issue has continued to simmer beneath the political surface. With the momentum to get a health care bill passed by the end of the year, it is now threatening to boil over and derail the health care legislation, and one senator is leading the helm -- Ben Nelson of Nebraska.

"The compromise adds important new initiatives addressing teen pregnancy and tax credits to help with adoptions," Nelson said Thursday in a written statement, referring to a compromise offered by a fellow anti-abortion Democrat, Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania. "These are valuable improvements that will make a positive difference and promote life. But as it is, without modifications, the language concerning abortion is not sufficient." (See more of this story  Does Sen. Ben Nelson Stand in the Way of Health Care Victory.)

(All of us who care about the unborn should hope that Nelson stays strong but as posted yesterday it is not only abortion that should concern Sen. Nelson. There are  lots of other things in this bill  that would hurt America. Check out the posting I did yesterday, Harkin: Health bill in Nelson's hands.)
