How did relying on so-called Blue Dogs and political Moderates work out for us on health care so far? Are we closer or further away from passing this monstrosity?

Senator Lieberman says he’ll vote “No” on the health care bill if there is a……

She is not up for re election til 2014 and its very hard to recall a Senator.

FINALLY, someone says the word besides me: recall.
 
recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall, recall,
Can you hear me now.
Get Up!
Get off your butt. Do something about it!
 
Would you die on your feet, or live on your knees?
 
FREEDOM!

For Lieberman, like Reagan in so much, he didn’t leave the democrat party, the party left him.

I don’t think this is accurate. I believe that Lieberman would have voted for a public option in 2000. Lieberman is still basically an economic liberal, just more cautious, because he’s actually thinking about the issues. And no matter how strongly I disagree with Senator Graham on immigration, I suspect that Graham is thinking on issues also. My own thinking is that we are better off when our politicians think rather just blindly follow a line like most do, or blindly compromise in the case of two female senators from the same state. (You get to figure out the state.)

……I hope he takes that opportunity.

So, how many 300 million dollar bribes has Harry got in his pocket?

Not sure-but word has it he’s stealing all the water used in irrigation in NV so Vegas can still use their pretty fountains.

Have you noticed that it is usually the well off who want to force the servitude of communism/socialism on the proletariat?

Yup. And oftentimes they end up eliminated during one of several purges.

If you knew anything at all about anything outside your borders, you would know the answer.

Dave Rywall on November 24, 2009 at 3:01 PM

There you go-thinking you’re relevant again.
I know important things that happen outside of my borders.
But as to your little holidays-I could really careless whether you’re eating turkey or beating off in your mom’s basement on turkey day.

Sorry to be so negative, but that’s just reality as I see it.

Lieberman is an a**hole.
I could give a f*ck what magical deity he worships.
What a retarded strawman you just built there.
Shove it up your Agoura Hills.

Dave Rywall on November 24, 2009 at 2:20 PM

Awwww, guess I hit a nerve, eh? Come on, you Jew-hating basturd, is that all you got?

Don’t believe this for a second, Ed. His chairmanship will mean more to him than this law. Reid can gut him anytime he wants to.

E9RET on November 24, 2009 at 2:13 PM

That’s probably why Lieberman backed McCain/Palin in 2008.

Lieberman on Reid plan: “No”

I’ll believe it when I see it…

He’s got the remainder of the unspent stimulus plus whatever Obama’s thugs can print divided by 300,000,000.

Since the Feds can simply charge any increase in spending to their already overdrawn bank account, but the states have to balance their budgets, the increased state spending for Medicaid will cause sharp increases in state taxes. And the Governors will get the blame, not Obama and not the Congress.

A bloodbath in 2010 for governors too if this thing passes?

Knucklehead on November 24, 2009 at 2:21 PM

Thanks for posting that.

This is not over by a long shot.

we just got the bill last week. I know it seems like a long time because it is a boring topic and we’ve talked about it all year. But we have been shadow boxing up until we got a bill. Now we have facts to refute.

Again, it can’t be over because we just got a bill. Don’t tire of this fight. This fight can be won. NOW is winning time. 4th quarter, final 5 mins of basketball, bottom of the 9th. It’s time to win.

For Lieberman, like Reagan in so much, he didn’t leave the democrat party, the party left him.

And, do you enjoy waiting in line for you government healthcare?

The NEXT cloture vote — to end debate on the bill — is the bottleneck. Absent 60 votes to invoke cloture and end debate, there will be no vote to pass the bill in the Senate. …

ya2daup on November 24, 2009 at 2:29 PM

So, hmm. If they don’t get their 60 votes then the debate never ends and we can rejoice because the Senate will stop passing new laws!
