Since the dawn of politics, this is the only political whore that I have read about,or can think of. The insurance companies must not have offered him much; because he is a cheap whore at that.
Now republicans have Joe the plumber, and Joe the prostitute.

These obstructionist GOP hypocrites who are out to kill any reform to the ideas that have squandered our economy have a new infamous leader, Joe Leiberscum.
This Joe wants all Americans to be overcharged for healthcare, wants Americans to pay three times the price for drugs than anybody else in the world, and wants to preserve a monopoly of the insurance cartel.
American need to kick out this corporate-run political hacks like Lieberman and reform the criminal syndicate health insurance companies who have bought too many politicians.

I always like to hear Joe talk on almost any subject. He is always informed and intelligent. If we really did away with bias he could be president. When the dems kicked him to the curb, and he went on to win the election anyway, I knew he was a good guy.
Some say you can judge a man by his friends. Some times their enemies can also give you a clue.

This health care stinks to high heaven. There isn't waste so much as there is graft.
The only people that are rushing this thing are people that want to cement into place their tainted revenue streams.
If the people are going to be paying for this for the rest of their lives and the lives of their children, they have a right to know what it entails and in fact everything there is to know about it.
Cutting of home health care to the tune of $40 Billion means, in practical terms, that millions of elderly that should be living at home and not taking up bed space will be forced into a hospital or some factory housing provided by the government and run by the same people that are now trying to push this stinking turd to conclusion.
This baloney about the Republicans holding it up is hog wash. They would by happy to be able to vote for it without having to feel they had sold the farm. I realize the the democrats don't want to have this to deal with before midterm elections but that's just too bad. Whats good for them hurts the country.
The lip stick ain't working. We don't want to be fattening up the greedy at the expense of the needy.

Joe Lieberman is the best Senator money can buy. Once again flip-flop Lieberman is twarting the will of the people. His only interest are himself and the Insurance companies hat pay him off.

joe liebermans interest in opposing the health care bill are simple; big business, in particular the medical and the pharmasutical professions that give him his power. he is part of the government of big business, by big business and for big business. "free market" means freedon of big business to run the country...the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. somehow we've got to take the government back to the people...all the people. the greed fostered by uncontrolled capitalism is killing us.

Joe Lieberman is your tipical liberal. He beleives in this Bill because Obama says they will do what Lieberman wants. Thats like Bill Clinton saying, "I will not have any more affairs with women".

It would be treason for any senator to vote for this dangerous obamacare healthbill which is a not healthcare plan but a devious plan to control all americans like the former soviet union controlled their people; So, Sen. Lieberman, you have better join the republican filibuster so that this whole treason-like obamacare bill will be destroyed and wethepeople (the ones against obamacare, the ones with common sense) can devise a practical plan (a private market) that have numerous private insurance companies thereby lowering costs for ALL AMERICANS!!!!!! WOULD INCLUDE NO HEALTH RATIONING. IS THAT CLEAR!!!! A REAL REFORM BY WETHEPEOPLE WHO ENJOY OUR INDIVIDUALSIM, LIMITED GOVERNMENT, WHO TELLS THESE "BIG GOVERNMENT" congressional democrats TO BUTT OUT OF OUR PRIVATE DECISION MAKING LIKE HEALTH INSURANCE;OURFOREFATHERSTOLDUS200YRSAGOTOFIGHTTHEENEMYWITHIN?ALLYOUTHATAREFORTHISOBAMACAREBILL,"Ithinkuaretheenemywithin&youneedtogetoutofmycountry&gotobritainorcanadaifyouwantnationalizedwhichissocializedhealthcarecausewethepeople(conservative)willfightyou!! think on THAT!!
