Lieberman says he'll filibuster Reid plan

Such a selfish individual shouldn't be an elected official meant to represent what is right for the greater good.
Please don't re-elect this man...

HP - Lincoln Mitchell: Is Anybody Still Surprised by Joe Lieberman?
2009-10-28- Lincoln Mitchell: Joe Lieberman's latest announcement that he will vote against cloture for a health care bill that includes the public option should surprise nobody, as Lieberman, in recent years, has demonstrated that his ideological home is no longer in the Democratic Party. Lieberman has also shown once again that he gets a lot more attention and a higher profile by being a Democrat and taking these positions. While he is no longer viewed as a voice of moderation, maturity and sound judgment from within the Democratic Party, as was frequently the case in the late 1990s, he is still in a stronger bargaining position, and a media favorite, because he is a Democrat. By wavering between the two parties while never fully abandoning the Democratic Party, Lieberman has made himself far more important than he should be.

Greedy insurance companies profit margin is less than 3%. We can almost make the same in a long term CD, but also have very little risk.
Can't we all have a discussion as to the problems with the existing HEalth Care? ya we know there are issues but to dump the whole system and trust Washington to do it, i think, is insane. They cannot run anything correctly.

Without a public option it will be business as usual and the greedy insurance companies want exactly that! Liberman is simply marching to the tune of his masters! the greedy insurance companies do not want a public option because it will force them to change the way they do business! they can not be trusted to do the right thing by people all they care about is profits and don't care if people die as a result of their greed! A public option must be in the bill!

I agree with others here, let him do what he wants and show his true colors. People will see him for who he is.

Lieberman sucks because Harry Reid can't muster 60 votes from his own party?

2 minute hate still going on? You liberals know how to throw a lynching party.

Funny that the other six democrats that agree are not being lynched in the same manner.

lieberman, he gives corrupt politicians a bad name. almost as bad as grab yer ankles pelosi.

They should have bounced this clown right after he got off stage on at the RNC convention. Now they should take his wrinkled ass out back and treat him like the jail house, pedophile, snitch he truly is at heart, in my personal opinion.

next election = zero votes for liberman

Leiberman is a political whore that right now is feeding at the trough of the insurance industry, and the Democrats won't do a thing because they are spineless

That picture makes him look like a retarded Kermit the Frog.

He is no more a democrat than my mother is. Throw his ass out of the party if does do what he said he would. Screw the little weasle. And I thought he said he was a independent. They don't want him either.Good luck if you run again you stinking weasle.

He was never anything but out for himself.

you canibals. He was your best buddy when he was a dem. lol .....because the D after his name changed to an I he is evil?

Lieberman gives assholes a bad name.

yup he is a conservative in sheeps clothing! this guy is an embaressment to the entire state of CT. without a public option it is NOT health care reform it's business as usual! the only way to deal with these greedy insurence companies is to force them to complete.this guy is bought and paid for by the rich elite,just a puppet,and he jumps when his master speaks! I don't understand why voters in CT keep voting for him all he does is sell them out to his masters! he should be filibusted right out of office!

One year your running as the democratic V.P. the next year your republican threating to filiabuster healthcare!This man needs to be watched closely.
To who's Intrest do you serve Mr. Liberman ?

Lieberman is a douche bag,

The dems need to let him know if he makes problems he will be in a world of hurt

The Democrats put him there and they can kick his ass off the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Get Crackin!

I agree , force his hand , i want the nation to see and be able to connect names with the position to deny them better health care. The sooner we vote the obstructionist out the better, and this puke is at the top of the list.

since he is a republican,..this is no surprise...

I hate being from CT because of him.. I HATE YOU

In agreement with ocanada, in addition Liberman's vote against cloture would be a death knell for any re-election hopes he has.

He will not. The reason is clear. That Harry Reid who gave him his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security committee can also take it away and has had pressure form progressives and institutional democrats on the hill to do just that because of his many public comments detracting from the overall well being of the democratic party platform. Lieberman only loves one thing more than himself and thats power. He won't give up his chairmanship for the sake of a filibuster.

Make the Republicans filibuster, as long as they do, it will be in the news and it will show everyone exactly who is denying them health care reform. Actually MAKE them filibuster, don't just say that its going to happen so back to square one, most people want reform in this area, the people who block it might be sorry come election time.

and i am "strongly inclined" to puke every time i see him.
