If Nelson doesn’t reverse his position, this will kill his career:
Did he actually take money in exchange for backing down on his commitment to not vote for any bill which allowed for federal tax money to be used to kill children in the womb in the name of “health care.”
If Senator Ben Nelson actually sold his vote for a bag of silver for Nebraska then this has become a “Judas moment”…and its implications are evil.
The timing of such a vote, coming on the Eve of the great day when the entire world celebrates the birth of a baby whose saving life, death and resurrection forever changed human history, is more than profane it is blasphemous!
We know the Culture of Death people will always try to win the day for their views. We know that weak-kneed pro-choicers will always bail out on us at the last minute. But when someone spends a lifetime in politics as an alleged voice for the unborn and then breaks faith, that is just a horrible thing. It is a thing which will not be forgotten. Nelson has betrayed all he claims to have stood for – and he did it just for a bit of pork spending!
This is why we on the pro-life side must completely abandon the Democrat party – Democrats simply can’t be trusted. In the end, it seems that a Democrat will surrender any position if he gets some bacon to take back home – they don’t understand what morality is and it becomes clear that they are often just mouthing the words of life because their constituency is opposed to abortion.
Nelson can still recover from this – but only if he very swiftly changes his mind and returns to a firm insistence upon an absolute, legislative ban on federal funding for abortion.
