Democratic Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska negotiated the now infamous “Cornhusker Kickback” payoff from Obama for Nelson’s vote in favor of Obamacare.
The payoff was an embarrassment for the people of Nebraska, as I noted at the time. One Nebraska family care physician wrote an open letter to Nelson:
As a family practice physician in Small Town, Nebraska, I was counting on you to be the lone voice of Democratic sanity on this issue, but you sold me out. I will dedicate every spare minute of my time and every spare dollar I have to defeating you, should you run for re-election.
Along with the Louisiana Purchase, it was a particularly seedy and shameless sell out of the nation.
Nelson is up for reelection in 2012, and it is unclear whether he will run. Democrats see Nelson running as the only hope to keep the seat, and there is talk that Governor Dave Heineman may run which would put the seat in play according to recent polling.
Reader Chris, a Nebraska physician and sometimes video producer, sent me this video farewell to Nelson:
As E. Benjamin Nelson ponders his political fate, I though I would send out a
reworking of a tune from our 2010 medical society show. Ben was in attendance
and was a pretty good sport as we did this tune and had a pizza delivered to his
seat.
Hopefully Nelson will spare everyone the trouble and retire; if not, Nebraskans should kick back at him and kick him out.

Boot Ben! I’m in.
There is a lot of dissatisfaction in Nebraska with Senator Nelson, enough that I think the seat is in play whoever the GOP nominates. The recruiting of Gov. Heineman by the national GOP is hot in the local press, but I think Attorney General Bruning, former State Treasurer Sternberg, or State Senator Fischer are all well positioned to win next November.
And it does seem right that Senator Nelson is the only hope the Democrat Party has. There aren’t many liberals in the state well known enough to do well outside of Omaha and Lincoln, and most of them are busy trying to run Omaha. It’s where the liberals and the tax dollars are.
Good work, Dr Chris, on the farewell video for the rat, Ben Nelson. How apropos!
It’s going to be a busy election year for those paying attention.
Wordsson, thanks for details from the front.
The Bible says that only the sick need a doctor. Since energy usage has become the equivalent of harlotry, murder & adultery, energy users are being threatened with the lake of fire by Adam, Eve & the Lord Jesus Christ. I am now married to Anders Behring Breivik 09/20/2011 by the Lord Jesus Christ. I already have children, grandchildren & great grandchildren. Thank you for reading.
GOD IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL MIGHT BELIEVE ON HIS NAME-JESUS.Repent & be baptized! Jesus said, “I am God there is none besides me.” “I am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father except by me.” “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” “As many as received Him to them He gave the power to become the sons of God the Father even to those who believe on His name.” Jesus’ healing ministry began with adult baptism.
A New Agenda: We the people need no gas & no electric to have a man child with the spouses of our youth around the world. We shall build homes without electric, without gas, without roofs that exceed 7 & 1/2 feet, & with incinerators to burn garbage, burn dung, burn urine, & burn blood rags so that the entire sisterhood has a man child with the husbands of their youth.
TAKE MY CONFESSION WITH YOU. I have smoked cigars for 11 years & have no lungs, liver & kidneys at 45 years old. I continue to live through the Lord Jesus Christ as I received the Holy Spirit at 4 years old & was baptized as an adult in 1997. I continue to read my Bible& now use burned dung, urine, blood rags & tobacco butts to make meat offerings to eat. The Old Testament says that burned dung, urine, & blood rags were a part of the laws of Moses. Yes, it was in 2001 while I was driving to Florida that I was talking to the saints in heaven & Isaiah said, “You know that 70 years from now the sun will be dimmed in the sky” Oh, I said, “I don’t know.” I went back over the Old Testament& it said, “The sun shall be dimmed in the sky” & “I shall make them eat the grass of the field.” & “all these things shall come to pass” before theLord Jesus Christ returns.
4 years ago I was stamping my feet at work over the excessive electric usage & complaining that I didn’t have a husband & children to God the Father. I prayed, kneeling at my bed as to adopting children. Then while I was at work I adopted over 500 children in Swahili (I was born with a spot-was a reject in Hebrew) to find out what day it was. I had been taught prophesy at Wheaton Evangelical Free Church in 1979 & 1980. We went back & forth in time while Governor Blagovich was verifying. We came up with 17 years of darkened sun before July 29, 2081.
July 29, 2081-the rapture of believers in Christ Jesus-all those who received the Holy Spirit-at the trumpet sound in heaven-1st the dead & then the living ascended to heaven in a twinkling of an eye
July 29, 2081-2088-the Great Tribulation-God’s wrath is poured out on the earth, Judgment of the Believers in Christ Jesus & the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in heaven
2088-3057-the Reign of Christ Jesus-(the Bible stated “1000 years” & in actuality it was 969 years)
3057-3059-the Devil is loosed out of the pit –(the Bible stated “a time & a half” & in actuality it was 1 & three fourths years)-the battle of Armageddon-the nations are drawn together for the last battle in the Valley of Megiddo-the Lord Jesus comes down of a white horse with the words, “King of Kings, Lord of Lords” written on His thigh & a sword comes out of His mouth to destroy all who are in the battle. The bible says that the blood runs a “horses’ bridle high” & birds feed on the bodies.
3059-the old heavens& the old earth pass away & the new heavens & new earth are created by the Lord Jesus Christ-at this point in time the Lord Jesus says,“Depart from me I never knew you.” to all who died in the battle of Armageddon, to those who took the mark of the beast in their right hand or forehead during the tribulation, to all who died during our time without receiving the Holy Spirit, & to all those who died during the flood of Noah’s day in wickedness. Jesus says, “In this world you shall have trouble, but I have overcome the world.”
Jesus says, “If we confess our sins He is faithful & just to forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Sincerely through Lord Jesus Christ & Wishing You A Merry Christmas, Allison Grace Karalus
Heh heh! After the good doctor’s surgery, Ben’s been rendered a political paraplegic.
The dirtbag was spamming me, I had to block his stupid campaign emails. I’m not even a D word.
