Is right here on the national Republican website.

The e-mail I got directing me to the site said this (italics mine):

Dear ,

Two years ago, Senator Ben Nelson cut a deal and caved to party pressure by giving the Democrats the 60th vote needed to ram through Barack Obama's $2.5 trillion government-run health care bill.

Senator Nelson cut that backroom deal with Harry Reid -- to get the infamous Cornhusker Kickback -- even though he knew it cut Medicare by $500 billion, raised taxes by $500 billion, and was opposed by a strong majority of Nebraskans.

Of course when the political pressure mounted, he started backtracking.

Yet recently he proclaimed that he "wouldn't change his vote" and that he was proud to be the man that made government-run health care the law of the land.

This is the sort of statist nonsense you'd expect from a radio pitchman like Marxist Levin.

Do these people think you're so stupid that you don't know that Medicare is government-run health care?

Or are they so stupid they think Medicare is not government-run health care?

Either way, when they imply they won't cut Medicare that's an admission they have no intention of ever balancing the budget. It can't be done without big cuts in the military and Medicare.

And by the way, they say they won't cut the military either.
