Hope Lieberman feels the same way about the 'rest of the story'.
I think Lieberman still has a big problem with federally funded abortions. As an Orthodox Jew this is not something he can abide or compromise about.
I still think even the clowns in DC know the vast majority of thinking and voting Americans are against Onadacare. Just participated in a telephone town hall with Rep. (D) Adler for my district. I have to say he has been aggressive about holding “live” town meetings. I’ve been invited to at least three that I can think of. And then his people contacted me about the telephone town hall.
Surprisingly I like most of what Adler said—and I’m conservative. But the point I want to make is that of the six or seven people who actually got to ask him a question there was not one positive comment conserning Onadacare. Based on the speech of the folks who asked questions I would say they were a fairly good cross section of the population. Retired, working (professional and manual labor), male and female. As far as I could tell there were no noncaucasions. But Adler’s district is mostly white.
I think, when it comes down to the vote that counts, Reid will not find the votes he needs to get it done. The usual ploy of bribing people with taxpayer plums for their districts will not trump being voted out of office.
