Senator Ben Nelson is still not listening: Part II

In the United States Senate today, a repeal attempt on the year-old health care law went down to defeat. The vote was 47-51, ending in a party-line defeat for the Republicans.

Nebraskan Senator Ben Nelson remarked: "There are a lot of good parts in the bill and some that I will work to improve. The repealers already have health care. But they're ready, willing and eager to take it away from hundreds of thousands of Nebraskans."

Senator Nelson is Senator Earmarks

With the tax bill and government spending on the U.S. Senate agenda this past week, Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson continues try to position himself as not a tax and spend Democrat. Senator Nelson continues to vote in favor of earmarks, then accuses his challenger of requesting them.

Jon Bruning responds:

"I was not requesting an earmark. We have not spent any of that money. We're sending it back. We don't want it."


What really matters, Bruning said, is that "Ben Nelson remains in favor of earmarks and I do not."
