if the Ba.. filibuster, take his chairmanship from him, if he want to vote with republication fine, but he will not be able to milk his donor as ex chairman.

Idiots like him & his ilk should be strung up by their thumbs, figuratively speaking, of course.

In reality, they should be fired, voted out.

Period.

Him & his ilk are in it for nothing at all but themselves.

From Massachusetts: Not far from Hartford where the slimy insurance biz corps have their headquarters. I can't believe what this Joe guy is doing. He ought to be stripped of all his rankings in the senate. So let him join his neocon buddies there, at least it's out on the table for everyone to see.
This man is no democrat the way he is beholden to corporate amerika. Has he forgotten that that's how fascism starts?

George C. Brown - Dear Senator Lieberman, We know that your are beholden to the insurance industry for nearly one-half million dollars ($46_,_ _ _ . _ _). However, those were NOT the folks who elected you to serve in the U.S. Senate. We, the people, are well aware that a senator does not make that much from the government (read the U.S. taxpayers, including us that are not from Conecticut). Do what is the right thing for the people of the U.S., and not the greed-heads that are driving this country into the ground!

My wife calls him "Dead Mouth."

Karma is really a bitch
Joe
Just remember I told you
So

Anything to keep all those Christians and Muslims suffering in poverty, eh Joe?

His wife, "HADASAH" Is tied in with the drug industry.
We need full disclosure of all income for Hadasah and Joey.
If Obama promised Joey that he would bomb Iran, Joey would sanction anything for Obama.How many people know that Joey
wrote anasskissing book about former Democratic Chairman
John Bailey in Ct???

According to open secrets,Joe Lieberman received $424,624.00 from insurance industry sources in 2006.Enough said! peace

Here's another preview message.

If the two house of congress pass slightly different versions of same legislation, then the reconciliation procedure can bypass a filibuster, and this jack ass could suck air as long as the leadership of the Democrats in congress would simply do this. That's all it takes. The GOP has done this with legislation when they saw fit to. What the hell is the problem? How about if some of the Democratic congressional "leadership" shows some guts.

AD

Leave It To Lieberman. Reminds me of "Wimpy". Total sellout to the insurance companies, he should be removed from his chairmanships and booted out of office in the next election.

"he" doesn't like??? "he"...

who the f*** is "he"...

"he's" never struggled on a wage earner salary...

"he's" never seen his deductibles... copays... prescriptions... cause his family to make tough choices...

when he left the democratic party... it was all about "him"... (and they re-elected "him")

"he" didn't say this health care bill fails on it's merits... there are problems here... or problems there... just "he" may not like it...

it's semantics... but everytime i hear this guy... "he" comes across as a sanctimonious self-ingratiated pomp-ass... the george will type... you know... the pole up the rectum straight through to the brain... i swear if he laughed his face would crack...

Joe Lie-ber-man is a nothing. He sit in Bushes lap for eight years without any pants on. He vote for turncoat McCain. So why does this nothing have any say so in the Democratic aganda.?

According to the video posted here, http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002298/ Lieberman used healthcare reform as an issue in his 2006 re-election campaign and favored a universal government run program!

Along with being demented, it seems he has dementia.

Lieberman stating that he'd filibuster a health care bill is hardly news to anyone. He'd filibuster his own mother...if he had one!

Obama Welcomed Joe Lieberman back into the fold in Nov-2008!

President Obama welcomed Joe Lieberman back into the Democratic Party fold after the election in November of 2008.

Obama has NO SPINE FOLKS.

Remember these words from Joe Liberman at the 2008 RNC for John McCain and Sarah Palin. He bashes Obama and heaps great praise upon Palin and McCain and the Republican Party. I hope that you are not surprised that Lieberman acts this way today or any other day. His words here:

"Senator Barack Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who I think can do great things for our country in the years ahead...But my friends, eloquence is no substitute for a record, not in these tough times for America. In the -- in the Senate, during the three-and-a-half years that Senator Obama's been a member, he has not reached across party lines to accomplish anything significant, nor has he been willing to take on powerful interest groups in the Democratic Party to get something done. And I just ask you to contrast that with John McCain's record of independence and bipartisanship....Governor Palin, like John McCain, is a reformer. She's taken on the special interests and the political power brokers in Alaska, and reached across party lines to get things done. The truth is, she is a leader we can count on to help John shake up Washington....That's why -- that's why I sincerely believe that the real ticket for change this year is the McCain-Palin ticket....Let me tell you, friends, that the Washington bureaucrats and the power brokers are not going to be able to build a pen that will hold in these two mavericks. It's just not possible...."

As a result of Obama's allowing Lieberman to return, I saw Obama as a spineless wonder. That is when I left the Democratic Party and joined the Green Party knowing full well that the Dems are a corporate backed one. The Dems love corporate Joe and all his big money connections.

"...President-elect Barack Obama has informed party officials that he wants Joe Lieberman to continue caucusing with the Democrats in the 111th Congress, Senate aides tell the Huffington Post....Obama's decision could tie the hands of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has been negotiating to remove Lieberman as chair of the Homeland Security and Government Reform committee while keeping him within the caucus. Lieberman has insisted that he will split from the Democrats if his homeland security position is stripped....If Lieberman were to continue caucusing with the Democrats without being punished for his campaign conduct -- Democrats say he broke a promise not to campaign negatively against Obama -- the progressive community will undoubtedly be up in arms. For Obama, however, the move may be a shrewd gesture towards reconciliation, in the process taking a potentially taxing political fight off the table....Fellow Connecticut Senate Chris Dodd, who has spoken out in favor of Lieberman remaining in the party...."

"...It was something of a surprise, then, when a newly configured Democratic Senate caucus — no longer clinging to a one-vote majority — decided Tuesday, by a vote of 42-13, to keep Lieberman as one of their own. He will even retain his chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which is responsible for oversight of the executive branch. The vote appears to be less about Lieberman and more about Democrats and President-elect Barack Obama building a consensus. While highly critical of Lieberman’s straying allegiance, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was careful never to cut him loose. And Obama signaled that that he wanted Lieberman to remain in the caucus.“The Democrats wanted to string up Lieberman by his toes and hit him with a broom,” said Kenneth Dautrich, a public policy professor at the University of Connecticut. “But by extending this olive branch, they’ve learned to overcome their emotional response and not be vindictive.”...“The result of the vote is not because the Democrats want to forgive him,” said Dautrich. “It’s because he’ll be an important vote.”"

WAY TO GO DEMOCRATS!!!!! LEARN-YOU NEVER WILL!!!!!!

Joe Lieberman will always be a TRAITOR!!!!!

You folks are being too hard on him. He's only doing what his funders, the insurance industry, are asking. He is bought and paid for, and like him or not, once he's bought he stays bought.

Al Gore's worst decision was selecting this zionist traitor as his running mate in 2000.

Obama has called this man his "Mentor." What does that tell you....

I'm sure the rich jewish doctors in Connecticut want nothing less. But after all, Lieberman really is the representative of the Israeli government isn't he?

Who cares? Its a horrible bill anyway.

All I can say is the people who elected him are a pretty lousy bunch of folks.

Sen. Lieberman, Israelis have single payer that benefits ALL citizens (Jews and Muslims) of Israel. Shouldn't Americans have single payer to? Senator, vote FOR the American people.

mt don that,s 2012 when if finally the good people of
connecticut get a brain they will vote this maggot out.
do not forget who came out to help poor old joe after
he lost the democratic primary in 06. the clintons
some young senator from ill. named obama helped him and all the democratic boiler plate crew as well. if america watching
this they would have seen who their friends and enemies
are. any friend of joe,s is a enemy of america. when we
think that this piece of shit came this close to being
the vp of the us if not for little georgie and dick
stealing the election through computer fraud its truly
frightening as to who and what can be elected to high
office in this country. he would have been just as scary
as them. why not make them pay a portion of their health
care just like everyone else maybe it would give them
pause if effected them personally.if your thinking
about punching joe do not articulate it they are
watching. think it all you want just do not say it here.

If i could pop this fu&*er in the head i would. Unsurprisingly the Dems still stroke this dickheads ego. Why ? He has never sided with the Dems on anything that matters. Of course that's not to say the Dems have sided with anything that matters !! ... but that's a whole 'nother story.

Joe Lieberman has been a consistent legislative douche bag even before he was Al Gore's running mate in 2000. A prime example was his "crusade" against violent video games in 1998. This merely confirms it. If Harry Reid has an gram of cahones, he should immediately strip Lieberman of all positions it is within his parvenu to grant. Let's see how effective Lieberman would be then at delivering government $$ to his constituents in CT.

Health insurance is a scam in its purest form, but for the insurance industry to take the enormous profits it makes from denying claims to bribe congress so that we get some of the lousiest health care in the world and the corporate-congressional complex can continue getting rich----

Calling this a government of, by, and for the people is a cruel joke.

I seem to remember that Senator Reid allowed Lieberman to keep his positions on various committees in exchange for him promising to vote with the Dems. So, if he turns out to be the vote that allows a filibuster, Harry Reid should immediately strip him of any and all of his privileged committee positions. Leave him out there with no say in any bills being written, then let us see how much campaign money he gets when he can't bring home any bacon.

Say it ain't so Joe. We here in Ct are going to send you packing, that is without the slightest doubt. I look forward to seeing your sorry face on election day. I'll be walking door to door for six months prior, me and my son.

If one only 'tries to imagine'----Joe Lieberman after he looses his Senatorial Seat----
He can always dress up in a "Lone Ranger Costume" and have the same response from those 'who are on the market for a 'kimosabe'.
For us when we were kids we thought that that 'White Guy' riding around with 'Tonto' was a 'sissy'.
Then we had an 'inter tribal translator' tell us the 'meaning of 'kimosabe', since we did not 'speak Tonto's language'.

It means 'spreads his cheeks for money'-----which would fit very well for Joe Lieberman, US Senator from Connecticut, but only after he is no longer in office. For now US Senator will do just as well.

By the way, Tonto in Spanish means 'fool'.

lieberman's for big business and business as usual..end of story....well heck so are most of the democrats - Lieberman, and Obama for that matter, are telling us basically to our faces "screw you!"

and if that's their attitude towards WE THE PEOPLE then maybe we should take the same attitude with them.

Lieberman just won re-election so he doesn't have to face the polls until 2016....same as baucus in montana.....pressure at the ballot box won't work for these guys......picketing, protesting AND going at the guys who ARE up for re-election - like reid - is the way to go.

Besides that NEVER send the democrats another dollar. That WILL get their attention.

Vote Green Party.

I think that in order to keep everyone honest, Congresspeople should be required to only have whatever type of health care they approve for everyone else. Get rid of their gold plated plan, and let them share the suffering of the masses they proport to represent.

As for LIEberman...maybe if he is allowed murder a few more Arab children in exchange, maybe drop a bomb or two on Iran...he will agree to support the bill.

"The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts." - John Keats

Screw him push the strongest bill for real health care reform and make every one in that cesspool put up or shut up and if it is not good for the people may it die a quick death.Tony

Who is paying for this parasite's healthcare? That would be a good policy to cancel.

There is something about that disapproving face that is just asking for a set of brass knuckles. Sorry-- there is something about Joe Lieberman that brings out an aggressive streak in me.
