In the health care debate, the big question is whether a bill containing a public option can clear a procedural hurdle by getting 60 votes to make it to the Senate floor for debate. Senator Nelson is one of those Democrats that hasn't committed to voting to open debate.

I wanted to know why.

After all, you can always allow debate; if at the end you still don't like the bill, you've got a second opportunity to filibuster. It's not like debate is going to convert any Republicans, so it is pretty clear that you'd be able to kill the bill if it didn't meet your standards.

So again... why not debate?

  • Vote them all out but buy more ammo and cling to your guns, bibles and Constitution just in case. Who are these handful of rogue politicians. What makes them think they are going to steal our liberty ... bribing each other

    with our nations treasure to force oppressive laws for 300 million just so they can stay in power. They are supposed to govern not rule. This is no longer a democratic republic when "public servants" think they hold the power.

    The constitution protects the individual.

  • Gee had I sen this before he recently sold out for big bucks for Nebraska, I would not have been so surprised. I guess a weasel is always gonna be a weasel. They are trying to put him up on charges...I hope they include the BIG weasel...Barack.

  • I guess he thinks censorship is great. You can not comment on this videos or rate them.

  • What a jack ass! In this day and age,,he doesn't talk to bloggers? Doesn't he know that YouTube is as big a blog as you can get?

  • There a couple new petitions designed to put pressure on the senate. I have links to both of them on my profile please take a moment to sign them and pass them on. Thanks.

  • Transcript of the last bit:

    "You asked me about the Constitution last week, it went out on a blog, I don't talk to bloggers."
