Lieberman Shows Democrats Don’t Have 60 Healthcare Votes
Reader Comments
Thank goodness someone's reading
Boehner read excerpts from the 3 AM amendment so that at least a few of us would have some idea of the provisions in this bill and how much more government intrusion we will have in our lives as a result. I saw a couple of pundits asking one of the Democrats, "Did you read the bill?" "As best we could," he responded.
Our so-called leaders are voting for and against measures without having any idea of their true content.
Additionally, they're pushing these Draconian measures while responding with denial to new scientific data which controvert their objectives. Selective memory is alive and well on the left.

Liebermann is a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing
He is no friend of the Democrats. He used to be one - but that ended when he sided with the neo-cons on every overseas issue during the Bush years. He was kept around to supposedly help with the majority - but that has proven to be a joke.
The voters in his state must like his neo-con buddies and appreciated his constant tailing of McCain during the last election.
I'd count on Olympia Snow before I'd count on Liebermann. She is honest about being a moderate Republican, and votes on the issues - not just based on party rhetoric and payoffs....
All that needs to happen
is that 55 or so Dem Senators need to FORCE one real filibuster at the first "threat".
Lieberman and 40 Republicans will make a grand sight on TV night after night after night reading the phone books from the Senate podium--or whatever you do for endless speeching. The filibuster thing is an empty threat. One and it's done.
