Senator Nelson says Bush can do "what he wants"
Ben Nelson decides to continue providing aid to criminal administration, saying "The president has the power and authority to issue executive orders to do exactly what he wants."

Does doing "exactly what he wants" include breaking the law?

5. Thanks for the face! How about a phone number.
I've lost it, since it meant so much last call. Guess I can Google it.

14. Called, ranted, and a kick!
My 815 area code will probably mean an immediate delete, but I left my message as a proud Democrat, and that should mean something.

10. Ben Nelson - loyal DLC member
"This is why the DLC is dangerous. For all their claims of supposedly wanting to help Democrats, they employ people like Marshall Wittman who specifically try to undermine the Democratic Party, even if it means he has to publicly defecate out the most rank and easily-debunkable lies. They reguarly give credence to the right wing's agenda and its worst, most unsupportable lies. They are the real force that tries to make sure this country is a one party state and that Democrats never really challenge the Republicans in a serious way."
