I remember at the time thinking, "Man, Obama should tell Ben Nelson to go fuck himself."
"Senator, I understand you don't care for some aspects of this bill, but I can't water them down any more without really harming the intended policy. Now, if you don't want to support this Democrat initiative, I'm not sure why the Democrats should want to support you in your re-election."
It wasn't a Republican who held out on approving until the bill got emasculated. It's no coincidence that he was an insurance exec before entering politics.
And Senator Nelson, how many votes do you have for your alternative plan ?
LOL, and Senator Paul, how many votes do YOU have for your alternative plan ??????
Ted ?? Senator Collins ?? Senator Moran ?? Senator Lee ???
Common people, where are all these fucking plans, when do we get to see them and where is the fucking support for them ??
