Bad Ben Nelson (D)-Nebraska

So, unfortunately, a Democrat will be the first individual I heap my scorn upon.  Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a gentleman with much more power than he should have, given that he represents less than 1% of the people in the United States yet holds a powerful Senate seat, has been one of the holdouts in the Democratic majority fighting against health care reform. 
HMMM. . . wonder why?  Could it be that he has ties to the health insurance industry?  Could it be that he, and several other Senators are "top recipients of campaign contributions from the health insurance industry and have former staffers working for the industry"?

Well, that just makes him today's turkey!  Even though his constituents overwhelmingly support the public option, Nelson continues to hem and haw and threaten to "derail reform".  So my question for Senator Nelson is this:  whom do you represent?  Is it the less than 2 million residents of the great state of Nebraska or the three major health insurance providers with whom you have ties?  Contributions from the industry in the last campaign cycle to Senator Nelson totalled over $91,000, so it seems a bit suspicious to me that he, along with two other Democratic holdouts (Mary Landrieu (D)-Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln(D)-Arkansas) should be vocal opponents of reform while their consituents call for it overwhelmingly!  Luckily, the Senate version of health care reform includes an abortion compromise and seems to be the most viable yet, and should move through the Senate vote easily if not for the threats of one Mr. Nelson.  Get your priorities straight Mr. Nelson!  Maybe we should threaten to take away his health care plan!
