Thank you! I saw the entire interview, NO he didn't say what the OP claims or acted like that..... George II Feb 2018 #64

Thanks George. I have no idea why some feel empowered to distort things still_one Feb 2018 #68

If Senator Nelson is really bad (from what I am reading William769 Feb 2018 #77

Wow!!! Bill. Good to see you. Also, great point still_one Feb 2018 #80

Good to see you too my friend. William769 Feb 2018 #82

An excellent question mcar Feb 2018 #92

It seems that some want to help Rick Scott defeat Senator Nelson Gothmog Feb 2018 #124

Yep, seems that way. George II Feb 2018 #125

He's sort of a middle of the road democrat janterry Feb 2018 #3

Lots of formerly New Yorkers live in Florida. Sophia4 Feb 2018 #56

Seriously? Maybe because if no one ever tries nothing ever changes, and procon Feb 2018 #29

He didn;t act or say what you are claiming obamanut2012 Feb 2018 #51

Attacking any and all Democrats no matter why is an agenda that Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #57

Nelson was just on Hardball, too obamanut2012 Feb 2018 #60

I will work to GOTV for Nelson mcar Feb 2018 #67

You are totally misrepresenting what Nelson said. You already said he's not your Senator, but yet.. George II Feb 2018 #71

Except Nelson didn't say or act that way obamanut2012 Feb 2018 #43

We know why. Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #21

I just can't with this today, Eliot mcar Feb 2018 #22

Of course the response by some is to attack Democrats, we see that all the time. Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #32

I was also wondering about this Gothmog Feb 2018 #35

Mine too, thank you nt Phoenix61 Feb 2018 #10

Exactly -- Nelson said the opposite of what the OP claimes obamanut2012 Feb 2018 #40

Is this really the time to slam our Democratic Senator? mcar Feb 2018 #15

Mahalo, mcar.. I agree. Cha Feb 2018 #17

Thank you, Cha mcar Feb 2018 #23

NO, Now is Not the time to Slam, Democratic Senator, Cha Feb 2018 #27

Yeah, that's soooo NOT Democratic of you. procon Feb 2018 #26

seems like you went of half cocked in the OP and are now doubling down BoneyardDem Feb 2018 #34

I said that Nelson was more interested in defending guns than sympathizing procon Feb 2018 #48

And that is 100% incorrect. Maybe you should look up his record instead of taking shots.... George II Feb 2018 #73

Yet that IS precisely the topic I posted. procon Feb 2018 #83

None of those "other Dem politicians" were Floridians, they weren't as closely affected.... George II Feb 2018 #85

Phil Mudd broke down and cried on CNN this afternoon, they had to switch over... George II Feb 2018 #95

What connection are you trying to make with this one? procon Feb 2018 #96

Phil Mudd isn't a "reporter". Perhaps you should look into his background. Didn't take much time. George II Feb 2018 #97

That was an irrelevant dodge, are you too tired to reposte? nt procon Feb 2018 #99

Nope. But I see you've decided to resort to insulting. Very telling. Thanks! George II Feb 2018 #100

Being tired is an insult? Who knew? procon Feb 2018 #102

I saw Nelson on CNN mcar Feb 2018 #93

And? procon Feb 2018 #98

you seriously expect this board to believe an entire lifes work is reflected in your bias? BoneyardDem Feb 2018 #128

I'm trying to silence you? mcar Feb 2018 #42

I did, and it referred me back to your post to delete my thread. nt procon Feb 2018 #53

with a name like "procon" he couldn't possibly be trolling CreekDog Feb 2018 #139

Could the OP be confused maybe? dewsgirl Feb 2018 #45

No, and he just repeated that he was waiting for the public to speak up and procon Feb 2018 #58

Did you hear Rick Scott last night? Gothmog Feb 2018 #118
