I can’t help buy wonder if both Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson are posturing for the media in expressing their distaste of Harry Reid’s Obama-Care bill.
Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said Thursday that he would prevent health reform from moving to final passage if restrictions on federal funding for abortion weren’t tightened during the amendment process. But, he added, “there are a lot of other things that could keep me from supporting it in the end as well.”
Spokesman Jake Thompson elaborated a bit, “The abortion language, the public option and some other issues could be reason for him to vote no on cloture for final passage of a health care reform bill.”
Nelson joins Sen. Joe Lieberman as the second member of the Democratic caucus to threaten to filibuster the bill if the final product doesn’t meet their standards.
I’m taking bets right now that at least one of them will vote for it.
They just haven’t received enough “incentive” from fellow democrats, like Mary Landrieu’s $100 MILLION incentivizer.
They’ll both vote for it. Assholes lie about everything. Anyone who acts surprised has been in a coma since the late 60s
