Bill Nelson has really taken controversial stands this last month. [View All]

Just now I saw him on CNN defending the intervention of congress into the Schiavo affair on the grounds that it was "narrow bill."
He thought it was fine to override the state courts because it was a narrow interpretation, limited only to Terri.

These are his other votes lately:
SNIP..."He recently supported a bankruptcy overhaul bill opposed by many Democrats. Last week, he bucked his party to vote against replenishing $1-billion the White House had cut from Amtrak. Then late Thursday, after having waffled on the Terri Schiavo controversy, Nelson stunned some observers by backing a Senate bill ensuring federal review of the case."

I hear that is what Democrats need to do in red states, but we risk becoming just like them. If he keeps voting to please the other party then by next year he may be even more like them.

I have a lot of concerns about our Democrats who vote this way. I think it is important to discuss those concerns. If Bill Nelson gives Florida a choice between a real Republican and someone who acts like one.....they will go for the real Republican.
