Nelson just voted against moving the Financial Reform bill forward?

[LeftyAndProud60]

Nelson from NE not FL. If so, this is astonishing.

1. Nelson from NE voted no.

He wants his Cornhusker kickback!

[Mass]

2. Why? He is a Republican in all but name.

[babylonsister]

3. It's not astonishing; it's what he does...consistently. nt

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

8. Right. No one should be surprised with this vote. He, too, voted against health care reform

angry because he didn't get his kickback. Someone needs to kick his ass right out of office.

I'm tired of this idiot.

4. We saw Ben Nelson for the scumbag he was during the HCR fiasco

If I were a Nebraskan, I wouldn't be voting for his reelection.

[Thrill]

5. Nelson is a Republican

You should know this by now

[damntexdem]

6. What's the overall vote?

Did any GOPs vote for cloture?

[DCBob]

7. Probably 58-42..

cuz Nelson the turdhusker voted with the NOPers.

[Jersey Devil]

13. 57-41 with 2 Repubs not voting

because Nelson voted with Repubs and so did Harry Reid, but for a much different reason. Reid voted "no" in order to preserve his right to bring a motion to reconsider the cloture vote. If he had voted "yes" he could not have brought a motion for reconsideration.

9. So MA citizens how do you like that independence of Scott Brown?

I don't see how he wins in '12 in MA with a stronger dem running against him and Obama on the ticket when he votes lockstep with the Republicans.

[Phx_Dem]

10. Fuckwad. Nebraskans enjoy getting screwed by Wall Street.

I hope MoveOn starts soliciting donations for an ad against this fucker even though he's not up for relection. We can still fuck him up, can't we?

I want to hurt him, politically.

[IndianaGreen]

11. There are those that insist that one must vote for the Democrat--even one like Nelson

Vote for blue dogs, you get blue dog laws, and blue dog appeasement.

[Hippo_Tron]

12. Apparently Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet's company) is headquartered in Nebraska

They want an amendment that exempts current derivatives contract from the new rules.
