This is for lurking primitives; decent and civilized people can feel free to go on to other reading.
Nebraska has two U.S. Senators and three congressmen; one senator is blue, the others representing us in Congress are deep red.
They've all had town hall meetings, or at least public meetings, of one sort or another this month, all such meetings held with the utmost of respect and cordiality and good feelings.
The latest has been Senator Michael Johanns (R-Nebraska), who has been greeted with nothing but hurrahs and cheers everywhere he's gone, to talk about "health care" "reform."
Senator Johanns was up here near the roof of Nebraska the other day, and suggested 0bama call a "timeout" on any "health care" "reform," until he either devises a serious plan, or drops the idea altogether.
The three congressmen, also (R)s, have said much of the same thing.
But those are Republicans here, and as we all know, Republicans are irrelevant, meaningless, not in the game any more, as the primitives have reminded us.
The Democrats are in charge of running things, and there's more than enough Democrats in both the Senate and the House to pass 0bama's "health care" "reform" without any help from the minority party.
Our blue senator, Senator Benjamin Nelson (D-Nebraska), isn't even bothering to have "town hall" meetings until later this month, because those are going to be pretty mundane, pretty run-of-the-mill, events. No ruckus, held with the utmost of respect and cordiality and good feelings. Basically, handshakes and "you go, Ben," sorts of encounters.
(Unless of course the 0bamaites cause some trouble.)
Senator Nelson is a true-blue Democrat, a Democrat to the core.
Senator Nelson's credentials as a bona fide Democrat are more solid than those of any of the primitives, and most other Democrats and liberals.
How come this blue senator in this red state isn't having any problems with his constituents, while other blue senators and congressmen from blue states are?
It's a mystery, and since the primitives are so smart, perhaps they can explain it to us.
