Ben Nelson Gives Reacharound Assistance To Other Bushwood Country Club Members

Thank you very little.

Oh hey. Here’s deficit-hawk Ben Nelson being reluctant to roll back one of the biggest causes of previously noted deficit.

Ben Nelson (D-NE), the most conservative of the Senate’s 59 Democrats, became the first in his party to say he might side with Republicans on the Bush tax cuts, suggesting he might filibuster a tax bill that allowed tax cuts for the rich to expire.

“It would be very hard for me to support that,” Nelson told reporters outside the Senate chamber before a vote this evening.

Afterward, TPM asked him what tools he would use to ensure that the tax cuts for the rich are extended. “My vote,” he said.

I expect total objectivity on this issue, particularly from our Media and Congress, where the “rich” demographic is even more over-represented than the “old-white-male” contingent.

huzzah, ben nelson! “democrats” like you certainly have nothing to do with the voter enthuiasm-gasm-chasm.
