Joes such a great guy,he was the spear head behind going into iraq and speng billions of dollars.

Gee,are joe's kids in Iraq

So let's see his own state constituents favor the public option.

His own state offers a public option.

That option was offered by his state's Republican Governor.

Yet he's gonna block access to the rest of the country.

Joe should have been drop-kicked a long time ago.

I'd say by Al Gore on the heels of his pathetic ass-kissing performance in the V.P. debate with Dick Cheney.

He has been bought and paid for,he has just proved it. There is no reason for him to do what he is doing except to protect the insurance thieves. He lies and twist the truth to suit only his needs Throw his lying ass out. He sure the hell does not represent the voters of Connecticut.

He certainly doesn't represent Connecticut as well as Harry Reid represents Nevada. What's Give em' pork Harry going to do if his bill -- with its earmarks for Nevada -- doesn't pass? The "opt out option" is a lot of rubbish -- at least in the forms that I've seen it -- since states would not be able to opt out of paying for the socialist insurance. BTW, do you have any idea how much of our economy is health care related? Health care providers and insurers do employ people. I'm not denying that some of them are crooks

This is called the Great Democratic Divide.

The last time the Democrats had absolute control over both houses of the Congress and the White House Bill Clinton tried to get Health Care Reform pushed through the Congress and the exact same thing happened with the exact same outcome. It will pass in the House and stall out in the Senate. Reid needs 60 votes to bring this to the Senate floor. He doesn't have it. With the Public option he fails to get the 60 votes needed and without the public option he still does not have the 60 votes he needs to get the Senate version to the Senate floor.

Within a few short weeks the entire House and 1/3 of the Senate will be out fighting for reelection. After the next election the Democrats will have lost their majority strangle hold over the Congress and everything well come to a screeching halt.

Then once again everything will be the Republicans fault.

So Barry does not have time to address the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but is has all kinds of time to go jetting all over the place in Air Force One at Taxpayer's expense campaigning.

Barry cannot be bothered addressing the rising unemployment rate yet he has plenty of time to bowl and play golf with his supporters who have contributed over $36,400.00 to his last campaign.

Barry is pushing us to spend over $1.5 TRILLION to help out less than .6 of 1% of the American population. Yet he does not have the time to address the housing crisis. People are still loosing their homes to foreclosure while Barry plays games with his friends and hosts big money dinners and campaign events.

Joe Lieberman Says He'll Block Reid's Health Care Bill.

I think Barry Soetoro is doing a pretty good job of doing that himself.

Go Joe

Let's take a look You are against a "socialist insurance" ? What is Medicare or Social Security ? Are they different ? How do those programs take away your freedom?
I guess you see it ok to give billions away to foreign countries and get involved in wars based on bad intel and BS. But when it comes to spending our tax dollars on the people and taxpayers of our own country thats Socialism ? See the politicians have you BS'd. The truth is most of whats wrong with this country are due to our politicians on both sides. There is also a problem with large multinational corporations that we have helped build and start and now have turned there backs on us in the name of profit and greed.
There nothing wrong with the spending our tax dollars on our own country, thats how it should be. You are right the insurance companies employ people but the also have killed people in the name of profit should that just be ignored? Why should the people that are suppose to be working for US have benefits many of us do not? Then tell us it wrong for us to have the same insurance they do?
You want to save money cut all benefits for all politicians and stop corporate welfare, Stop giving our money to all foreign countries. Stop letting corporations from sending our jobs to other countries, so they can make more profit and then move the headwaters out of the country so they dont have to pay taxes at all, while they make money here.

The insurance industry taught it`s employees to pay every cent owed but not a cent more!Correct thinking then and now!There are bound to be exceptions ,but this WAS taught to the employees.

This administration has published all the foul-ups and what ever could be found bad,to make their case.And there have been many,but wait until the Gov`t run Health Care kicks in!Stand in line!Wait for your health care!The Doctors may refuse anything but cash in the future!Do the poor have enough?Do the un-employed have any?

Joe was willing to say anything when he was offered the oportunity to run for VP.Who knows just what side he will be on when it comes time to vote?

scum sucking backstabbing leach

joe leiberman is waiting to see if President Obama is going to sent more troops to kill more Arabs for the state of isreal. he is willing to sacrifice more American Soldiers for isreal by black mailing President Obama and the American People right to a good health system. He should be investigated by the FBI to see if he is playing the field with his office in the name of isreal. And if he should be found doing this, through 2nd and third parties, then he should be executed as a traitor to The United State of America. This would mean the death penalty. And I hope the method of execution is the ovens.

Senator Lieberman may well follow through on what he is allegedly saying. If not him, then one of the other moderate Democratic Senators. After all, Senator Lieberman backed McCain and spoke before the Republican convention, so he has shown that he has no problem with going against the Democratic party. But every non-Republican is going to have an interesting situation. When it gets down to an up or down vote, if there are 59 votes, is that one Senator really ready, while approving of the basic health care package, to support a Republican filibuster and kill the whole thing? It is more than a question of political courage. It is what Senator Snowe was talking about when she said that sometimes an issue's time has come. Of course, there actually will not be a single up or down vote. Should only 59 Senators vote for cloture, I'm sure that Senator Reid will do what is necessary to get that one extra vote. The easy way is to move much closer to the Baucus bill. But it seems that he intends to have that vote first and then back off if there is no alternative. And people need to remember something else. People are assuming that this Congress is the best chance for health care to pass. People assume that after the 2010 election that the Democrats will no longer have the majorities that they currently do in the House and in the Senate. In the House, the conventional wisdom is probably right. But it may not matter so much, because the Democrats who are likely to lose their seats tend to be the moderates. But in the Senate, the Democrats could actually gain seats. It so happens that in 2010 there are 36 Senate seats up for election and they are split, 18 Democratic and 18 Republican. Many of those Republican seats, such as New Hampshire, could switch to the Democrats. Supposedly, the Republicans want to make health care a big issue in 2010, but they would do so at their peril. In their arrogance and conceit, the Republicans and especially the Conservatives have this idea that the "American people" are actually on their side by a huge majority. But everyone knows that the health care system has big problems. Almost everyone has experienced or is aware of a health care horror story. If Senate seats are needed in the 2010 election to overcome a filibuster and bring in health care reform, those 18 Republicans trying to defend their seats may find it somewhat problematic to simply be part of the party of no. Just look at what happened with SCHIP. President Bush vetoed it, but after the election, it passed in January with 66 votes (including 9 Republicans) in the Senate and was signed so fast by President Obama that those opposed never knew what hit them. So we will see what Senator Lieberman does, but for those on the right who think that all they have to do is attract one Benedict Arnold, I think that the possibilities are much more complicated.

Yes God Bless him indeed. At least I hope God blesses him because he'll certainly need God's blessing in order to avoid going to hell for all that he has done to destroy America! We already knew he was a shill for AIPAC which is why he supported Bush's ruinous misadventure in Iraq. Now he has proven that he is a shill for the insurance industry as well! He should make it official and join the Republican party now! But we all know he won't. God forbid he lose his chairmanship. Shame on you Joe Lieberman! Hopefully the people of Connecticut see you for what you are now and they'll finally get rid of you when you come up for reelection.

All I can say is that I hope you are right. About everything. Good post.

News Article:
"That cost is going to come back to you one way or another ... and it's coming back in the way of taxes and liabilities," said Eastman Kodak's chief executive, Antonio M. Perez, speaking for the Business Roundtable. "We just don't believe that there are miracles out there."
__________

This Antonia M. Perez is a good example of someone who doesn't have any confidence in improving our healthcare system instead of overhauling it.

I'm a beliver and so are many majority of American who oppose this HR3220 bill, and "Miracles do happen & they're out there!"...if the pesimists just open thier eyes and become optimists we will endure an improved healthcare system without any government overhaul, public option or single payer plan.

I just hope and pray to God the negatives don't outweigh the positives in this healthcare bill.
