Give Ben The Boot!

?The bad news is that Senator Ben Nelson is not up for reelection until 2012,? Roger Kimball laments.

I hope that Ben enjoys his final two years in the Senate.

OK, that?s not quite right. Since it was Ben Nelson of Nebraska that finally got Harry Reid his desperately needed 60th vote for socialized medicine, I hope 1) that the next two year are unpleasant for Sen. Nelson and 2) that he loses in 2012 by a landslide.

The good news is that those of us who are angry at Sen. Nelson and would like to ensure his return to private life don?t have to wait until 2012 to contribute to that effort. The Nebraska Republican Party has just created Give Ben The Boot.com so that we can do something now that will help fulfill both of Kimball?s hopes. Its home page notes,

67% of Nebraskans oppose the current health care reform, yet you voted against us.

We gave you the chance to work for us, now we?ll find someone else.

Seems like a most worthy cause to me, even though there will be many such worthy causes (think Harry Reid, Arlen Spector, Chris Dodd, Tom Perriello from Virginia 5, etc.). I say this with a bit of reluctance, since I?m still getting frequent solicitations from the South Dakota Republican Party because of a small contribution I made several years ago to now Senator John Thune?s campaign against Tom Daschle.

But it was worth it, and now Nebraska Republicans have my number as well.
