Because I Can: Ben Nelson (NE) is NOT a Democrat - He's ALEC

Everyone this morning is talking about how Ben Nelson didn't vote for the jobs bill.

Wake up people - the corporations own him! Get over your pissing and moaning - he's a Democrat in name only - philosophically he belongs to the American Legislative Exchange Council party.

He was previously affiliated with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
He was a winner of the most prestigious award ALEC gives - the Thomas Jefferson Freedom award.

Other winners of this prestigious award include: Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney - just to name a few.
