What about Lieberman?
A 10 hour filibuster is what the Repubs got in exchange for not asking the 2k+ pages be read on the floor (and debated)?
Geez, when Jack traded the family cow for the three “magic” beans, he got a better deal than that.
A 10 hour filibuster? Reminds me of the “10 hour diet”...no food, other than drinks, veggies, fruits and nuts, for 10 hours. Amazing self sacrifice.
10 hour filibuster?! I’ve had diarrhea for longer than that.
evan bayh i think will vote no
My understanding is that there are two possibilities for a filibuster. First, to proceed—just to debate the bill. Second, to cut off debate—the cloture vote. It seems to me that the key vote will be the second one. It’s here that Nelson—and maybe Lincoln and Bayh—would weigh in. (I’ve given up on Landrieu.) And if Lieberman is being honest, it’s here that he’ll vote no to shut off debate, siding with Republicans.
Lieberman is lying about his plans to oppose the Bill. I heard on Glenn Beck from DeMint’s interview that Lieberman has not been honest thus far about his intentions toward the health care bill.
