Right on Doctor C!

Although Carl Cornelius and I are not friends or necessarily agree on local Sidney politics, we nearly always agree on the national scene.

His latest (I think he is the only person the Sun Telegraph allows to comment any more) rant about Senator Ben (I stuck it to my constituents again) Nelsen rails on the Senator who flops more than a fish out of water on his Health Care vote and how wonderful it is for citizens.

I include it below this post because it is just that good. I hope Nebraskans, as well as citizens of other states act to destroy the careers of people such as Ben Nelson for voting their party interests over the interests of the Nation at large. I hope Nebraskans begin waging a campaign to unseat the soon to be departed Senator. Let him go back home and enjoy the good life for a change, instead of living it up at the expense of Nebraskans.

Editor,
Sen. Ben Nelson is at it again. He first was the deciding vote for Obamacare with the “Nebraska Kickback.” Then he changed his mind, after some time elapsed, and told us that he had asked for the kickback conditions for all states.

Now that the chickens have come home to roost and the large majority of Nebraskans are dead set against Obamacare, he and his henchmen have decided to go on the attack and tout all the great benefits of the plan, which places the decisions of what treatments will be approved in the hands of a non-medical, or politically appointed, lay board (death panel).

He ignores the fact that this plan takes half-a-trillion dollars out of the Medicare budget right off the top and then accuses the Republicans of trying to push Grandmother off the cliff rather than treat her in a compassionate fashion.

This plan is designed as an intermediate step toward a one-payer system.

Sen. Nelson: we remember what you did in this regard and if you think that Nebraskans will forget your complicity, think again. We have long memories.

Carl J. Cornelius,
Sidney
