Here we go.

Go Joe Go!!!!!

[Sybeck1]

What about the “competitive” option?

[Hoodat]

Do these people not get it? There isn’t going to be a filibuster because the Dems will simply change the rules. Remember, the ends always justify the means with liberals & fascists. Fifty votes is all that this is going to require for passage.

[clintonh8r]

He’s assuming the GOPers have the stones to filibuster.

[St. Louis Conservative]

I have no allusions of Joe being one of “our guys”, but he does come down on the right side of things once in a blue moon. On this, and on Iraq and Afghanistan, I give Joe kudos.

I’d love to see the invective over at the DailyKos and OpenLeft right now.

Academic slimy reid will go nuclear thats all

[nina0113]

Stop this bill, Joe, and all sins forgiven.

[Tallguy]

Are we chosing up sides already? Game on!

[Twotone]

Good for Joe Lieberman! On this one, at least. I just wish he’d keep heading rightward on other issues.

[GraceG]

I like Joe Lieberman, the only good decision that Al Gore ever made.....

[OldDeckHand]

Well, that's that. Plus, absent Lieberman, it makes it very difficult for the handful of Dem Senators in GOP states to vote for it. Snow has said (taken of course with a grain of salt) that she won't vote for it, although she has also said she wouldn't filibuster it.

They'd have to go Nuclear. I still think that there's a reasonable chance that would happen. We've got to find 8 Democratic Senators to vote no on the bill, not just on the cloture vote.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Also, on practical grounds, this means Reid needs at least one Republican to make up that lost vote. Since the most liberal Republican, Snowe, has fallen away, it seems Reid is dead in the water on this. Lieberman’s defection also opens the door to more Democrats to announce opposition like Nelson, Landreu, Lincoln, Pryor, etc.

Lots of Joe’s doing good things so The good name award goes to: JOE

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

Occasionally Joe does some good unlike the rest of the worthless SOB’s warming a chair with their butts in DC

[trustandobey]

Way to go Senator,”When history calls,history calls!”

[1_Of_We]

I’d like it better if the MAJORITY would vote against ANY “Health Care Reform Bill”. Any form of the bill being proposed will reform nothing but the insures and medical industrys bank accounts. It will simply create a much LARGER pot of money into which more greedier hands will reach, thereby INCREASING the cost of medical care greatly. Interesting that the word REFORM is used.

[Uncle Miltie]

BIPARTISAN OPPOSITION TO 0BUMMERCARE!!!

[DavidAccord]

And suddenly, Harry Reid has a splitting headache.

[kabar]

We’ve got Joementum now.
