Ben Nelson To Vote FOR Bolton & Against Stem Cell Research!
So just another example of one of our OWN stepping into the alter-realm!!

Just stated on Wolfie's show that he's Pro-Life so will uphold any Veto by Bush if stem-cell research bill is passed. Also said that while we didn't think Bolton was the best person for the job, he felt the President should have his own choices in these matters!

Even MY Senator (conservative) BILL Nelson voted AGAINST Bolton!!!

:puke: :puke: :nuke:

2. I'm glad California is funding stem cell research....
otherwise our best scientists would have
to move abroad...

this is a very short-sighted view of science...
and not one to be left to politicians. We
need to replace the short-sighted ones.

4. ChiciB1, your 3 consecutive 'puke' indicators at the bottom of your --
-- post sum it up for me on Ben Nelson.

This guy is a footstool with no apparent sense of self-worth. Bolton is so obviously horrible for that position that he should never have been nominated in the first place.

Since BushCo is in charge, he WAS nominated, and the horror is made worse when our own Senators kowtow to these Nazis

8. You'd think that he'd vote Democratic SOME of the time
I know that Nebraska only voted like 35% for Kerry, but Nelson needs that 35% to win. He's got to do SOME pandering to the Nebraska dems unless he plans to be a Democrat who gets elected with Republican votes alone.

6. What a betrayal. See, it doesn't make any difference if the
Senator or Representative is Dem or Repub if they are a fundamentalist. They groom them and plant them throughout every state. So we only have 48 Senators? I'm calling him Zell Nelson.

We may be getting close to changing the name of the parties...what we really have is a fundamentalist party and an american party.

7. Nelson's "pro-life" statement reminded me of Dean's comments
on this issue on MTP.

Here was what Dean said:

"Let me tell you why I think we ought to--why I want to strike the words "abortion" and "choice." When I campaigned for this job, I talked to lots of Democrats. And there are significant numbers of pro-life Democrats in the South. And one lady said to me, you know, "I'm pro-life. I don't like abortion. I would never have one. I would hope my daughter would never have one. But, you know, if the lady next door got herself in a fix, I'm not sure I should be the one to tell her what to do." Now, we call that woman pro-choice, but she thinks of herself as pro-life. The minute we start with the "pro-choice, pro- choice, pro-choice," she says, "Well, that's not me."

12. He's not pro life, he's ANTI-CHOICE.
He wants to tell a doctor how to treat a patient. Pro lifers for war...for death penalty....makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
