Ben Nelson.......Why Are You A Democrat Then?

"Class warfare" he calls the "House Health Care Bill."

President Nelson speaks:

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), whose vote will be critical to passing a final healthcare reform bill through the Senate, condemned the House version of the bill, which institutes a surtax on wealthy Americans to finance the $1 trillion bill, as creating "class warfare."

"I think it's a devastating blow," Nelson said of the import of the CBO analysis this week that the House healthcare reform proposal would worsen the fiscal situation of the U.S. over time.

As Ms.Hamsher points out

The only way we get a public plan is if progressives take a stand and refuse to "compromise" with Ben Nelson over something 76% of the public wants.

And read the rest of that post from Ms. Hamsher. The insurance industry is going nuts right now. They are scared that their days of thinking about their money instead of people's lives maybe over. And they are doing everything in their egregious mindsets to stop that from happening.

It's a story still being missed out in a major way by the national media. It's a story that is tragically going under the radar.

And back to Nelson: Class warfare? Class Warfare Senator Nelson?

I guess 76% favoring a public option isn't big enough to Ben Nelson. I guess 200% wouldn't be big enough either.

But hey, don't tell that his lobbying way self, as well as his lobbying friends.
