Listening to an astonishingly arrogant Ben Nelson lay his blessing on his hijacked version of HCR, I was taken by one twice repeated, little caveat he inserted. His vote is dependent on a Limited Conference, and no changes to the Senate bill that reflects the bill as currently offered by the House of Representatives.
Come on Nancy! There must be some way to give this arrogant old white man his hat. Are we really going to let the overwhelming majority of Representatives be side lined by one Senator with an 18th century view of women, a bought and paid for by Big Insurance opinion, and the visible glee at derailing HCR?
What the hell kind of system is this? He represents fewer people than live in my county, fer' goodness sakes!!
Get that Parlimentarian busy. It's time to put a stop to this. And, I'm willing to bet there is some way for you to sideline this jackass.
In two adjoining sentences he said "everybody wants reform" and, "not everybody wants reform".
It's a game. Throwing his weight around and looking good back home. Don't tell me he has "deeply held beliefs". He is just another idiot who has been too long at the fair.
