Liberal anger at Sen. Joe Lieberman spread across Capitol Hill on Tuesday, with a House Democrat from Connecticut calling for his recall and Lieberman himself acknowledging the angst he has caused.
No individual should hold health care hostage, including Joe Lieberman, and Ill say it flat out, I think he ought to be recalled, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) told POLITICO.
Connecticut has no recall law for state officials, and the Constitution does not authorize states to recall members of Congress, since each house has the authority to police its own members.
DeLauro acknowledged that she didnt know if it was possible to oust Lieberman from office. But her comments reflected the deep frustration many Democrats felt after Lieberman told Senate Majority Harry Reid that hed join Republicans in filibustering the Senate health care reform bill if it included either a public insurance option or a provision allowing people ages 55 to 64 to buy into Medicare.
Theres huge concern that borders on frustration, Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) said of Liebermans position.
It goes beyond frustration in Connecticut in terms of the way people feel, Larson said. I have a great deal of respect [for] and I have long admired Joe Lieberman. This goes against the grain of most of what hes fought for and stood for all of his life. Its thoroughly frustrating and disappointing for so many of us.

This woman is, IMO, insane. She's as close to an avowed Communist without actually declaring it as there is.
Doesn’t connect already have state health care - why do they want more?
Is that Janet Reno?
What are her polls saying?
The Hartford Courant staff responded with "oo-ee-oo."
Just give her the red shoes, Joe, and she'll forget about health care.
Liberal women are such dreck gremlins........yuck!
Can’t hold a torch to our conservative babes!
That’s her brother.
Man, she LOOKS like a communist!
Full of facial hate like Michelle O.
So, not voting for a bill = holding it hostage & you should be recalled? Sthe left/o, why bring ANYTHING up for a vote?
God, how I LOATHE the left.
Well, I think DeLauro should be reclassified as nonhuman.
The antibabe herself.
I’m meeeelting! I;m meeeeltingggg...!
She’s only a little sexier than Helen Thomas. Only a little.
“That’s a man, baby!”
Facial hate and facial hair. Read somewhere that her husband (yes, there is a husband) is an executive at Monsanto.
For you guys out there, imagine waking up to that every morning.
She’s a man baby!
Typical liberal. Has no idea about any laws, but goes on talking like an "expert". LOL
OK.
Ugly, angry and convinced Marxism will have better results than Capitalism.
The nutty, retarded Liberal way.
Is the same Joe they nominated to be their Vice President, and who is without guile
Every time I’ve seen Rosa aka Mrs. Greenberg, she looks like she’s wear a rug, literally
I have spent the last at least 20 years voting for anyone but her, but she’s got the welfare mom’s on her side.
Folks, some of us in Connecticut apologize for Rosa, aka Mrs Greenberg, and we want the rest of the country to know that we’re trying
