Talk:Ben Nelson

message: Describing Senator Nelson as only one of two pro-life Democrat in the Senate (along with Harry Reid)) is not factually accurate. Both of North Dakota's senators have ratings from the National Right to Life Committee that are as high as or higher than Senator Reid.  Senator Kent Conrad has a rating of 55% and Senator Byron Dorgan has a rating of 64%. This phrase needs to be changed, or should be removed.
Also, the phrase “...whose voting record reflects a lack of support for a woman's right to choose...” seems to be not meeting NPOV and is unnecessarily long. Perhaps it should read, “...whose voting record is pro-life.” This would seem to be more on neutral ground.
Removed the claim that Nelson "opposes most gun control laws". This is simply untrue -- he has had a consistent 'F' rating from the Gun Owners of America throughout his entire tenure. -- User:Spock 29 March, 2006 1222 (UCT)
I suggest deleting the speculative statement "all of which are conservative-leaning groups that would, in all likelihood, support Republicans elsewhere but for Nelson's conservative record" unless someone can rephrase it so that it is something like "all of which support Republicans most of the time" with proper citation.

thread_title:  Factually Accurate? NPOV? 

message: To call him the "most popular senator in the country" based on his popularity among his own constituents is somewhat misleading. Perhaps a different phrasing to the effect is in order, since he would likely not be the most popular senator in the country if a poll were conducted of all Americans.

message: I'm not sure if this is article-specific or global, but there are a bunch of rotating IP addresses that are blocked even for leaving comments here.
This is utterly pointless for vandals who will just change IP as soon as they get blocked -- and exceedingly annoying for people trying to do something useful.
If it needs to be done for a situation of a presently-ongoing attack, this should be like a 6-hour block that times out automatically. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.170.32 (talk) 20:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blocked Rotating IPs 

message: It appears that Nelson's legacy will be the Cornhusker Kickback. He has been a major player on the topic of health care reform and this is not even part of his page. As with much of Wikipedia, Nelson's page appears to be little more than propaganda. Nelson has been out there campaigning to save his job since he clearly is out of touch with the will of Nebraskans. It is probable that he will lose his seat in 2012 over his votes on this issue. So is this information being censored for pure political reasons, or how could any thinking person possibly justify the blackout of Nelson's legacy issue?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.193.206.101 (talk) 23:42, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
