That's what I'm hoping... Joe Lieberman will have at least some consideration for the many insurance jobs in Connecticut and vote NO on this turkey.
What say you, Connecticut FReepers?
LIEberman will hem and haw, act concerned, and then vote for it.
LIEberman is not interested in anything other than LIEberman
Lieberman had better grow a pair. You lose Snowe (ME) and Collins (ME) to the abortion thing, made up by defection of Casey(PA) and Nelson (NE). It's a wash on this one issue.
On Gov't option all R's line up and Lieberman (I) is a tepid "No" -- largely due to the insurance industry.
This comes to the point of Reid's needing 60 to cut off debate. R's filibuster will be joined by all R's at least 2 Dems and one Ind -- and all for their pet reasons.
There may be other issues that work to cause other Dems to uphold filibuster that are not yet as obvious -- it may just come down to other Landrieu (LA) style "political prostitution" payoffs, but with the outrage over what Reid did to get Landireu's vote to get 60 to proceed to debate, the spectre of corruption and pay off will be so obvious that it will be a check he can't cash without it "bouncing" in the public eye first!
I've told Lieberman many times what to do -- thanked him when he did what I told him to do, and upbraided him when he didn't.
Let's continue to cultivate his distrust of Reid.
Joe Gott Go
Dump Chris “Countrywide” Dodd!!!
