Ben Nelson Finds Religion [Daniel Foster]

Sen. Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) reacts to the Massachusetts election in a statement (emphasis added):

“Clearly, the vote showed that people are frustrated with Washington...and I am too. That frustration will likely register across the board for all incumbents. The overriding message from yesterday is that people are upset because Washington is dysfunctional and not working together for them.

“The Massachusetts vote should be a wake-up call for Washington. Republicans now have 41 votes in the Senate, Democrats and Independents have 59. The 60/40 split that took us too far down the road to partisan gamesmanship is history.

“The vote should end the situation where one side thinks it doesn’t need the other, and the other thinks there’s no need to work together for the good of the nation.

What? Ben Nelson (D, Neb, bought, paid for)? That Ben Nelson? Let's hope they all get whiplash from the backpedaling. So now maybe we can talk about the elephant not in the room: tort reform? If the R's are going to get input, (for the first time) I say tort reform should be number one on the list.

Then let's talk about the government owning car companies, nationalizing the student loan industry, and selling rights of combustion.
