From TPM:
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) now tells TPM he's "not inclined" to filibuster an extension of the Bush middle-income tax cuts, even if they're not paired with a tax cut for the wealthy. He does, however, want a temporary extension of the high-income tax cuts at a minimum -- and he wants it to be paid for with unspent stimulus funds.
Please stop saying this guy is a Democrat. Ben Nelson is just another millionaire who serves his own needs and those of his Republican buddies. I hope that he, like Blanche Lincoln, goes down in defeat. At least with a Republican in the seat people will stop believing that Democrats ever had a filibuster proof majority.
