Not sure why.

12. Lieberman

He voted for the reconciliation bill on health care/student loans too, but just when you think he is coming back to his senses, he'll go all "maverick" again and screw everything up.

11. Who is the type of person who supports Ben Nelson?

Edited on Mon Apr-26-10 04:29 PM by Ramulux

I mean that honestly, who is he trying to impress by doing this? He has alienated every possible demographic in this country by voting on both sides of like every issue. Anyone with a working brain regardless of what your political ideology would never support this dude, I dont understand how hes been reelected.
