Nelson Rides Again

Democrat US Senator Ben Nelson who recently made himself notorious during the ordeal that eventually passed Obama care, has demonstrated once again that his loyalties lay not with Nebraskans, but with one particular Nebraskan, in the debate over the proposed overhaul of financial regulations. And this one Nebraskan has contributed mightily over the years to Nelson's political fortunes, with more than $75,000 in contributions from Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway people helping Nelson secure his victories. It seems this amount which is Nelson's largest backing throughout his career has him bought and paid for- whether or not what he does in the US Senate reflects what Nebraskans other than Warren Buffet actually want for their state and their nation. Seventy-five thousand dollars is a pretty small price for a multi-billionaire to pay for a pocket Senator.
