Lieberman Criticized For Health Care Reform Opposition
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Filmmaker and political commentator Michael Moore threatened to boycott Connecticut if Sen. Joe Lieberman is not recalled.
Moore made the threat on Twitter Wednesday.
In his Tweet, Moore said, "People of Connecticut: What have u done 2 this country? We hold u responsible. Start recall of Lieberman 2day or we'll boycott your state."
Politico reported Tuesday that Rep. Rosa DeLauro called for the recall of Lieberman.
DeLauro said, "No one should hold health care hostage, including Joe Lieberman, and I'll say it flat out, I think he ought to be recalled. I know that may not even be an option in Connecticut, but 45,000 people die every year because they don't have health care. We don't have the luxury to hold up a bill that could make a difference in people's lives. This is what we were sent here to do."
The state has no recall law for officials, according to the Secretary of the State's Office.
Lieberman, an Independent, has been the target of recent criticism after he made public his opposition to the Democrats' health care legislation.
Supporters of health care reform rallied Tuesday outside Lieberman's Connecticut office. The protesters urged Lieberman to support a public option in the health care reform bill.
Lieberman told reporters Tuesday that if the Medicare expansion and government insurance plan are gone, he'd be ready to vote for health care reform.
In the past few days, Secretary of State Susan Bysewicz said her office has received numerous calls about how to start the recall process. She said people are angry over Lieberman's stance on Medicare and the public option, and she is too.
Bysewicz said, "I think that Mr. Lieberman has been a lightning rod, and I'm very disappointed he's blocking it."
I thought that the manpig, Mike Moore, ate himself. Silly me.
So CT gets to keep fatboy Moore out of the state because of Liberman? Hell they ought to put Joe up for sainthood for keeping that blight to humanity out of the state.
Let me be first to request he boycott my state, MAssatwochits, as well. Thankyou.
More food for us!
...at least until they have 2 for 1 all you can eat BBQ
I wish his fatness would boycott Maryland too.
Hey Moore, would you and your fat rear please, Please, PLEASE boycott Washington state!
Wow. Eat more sausage, cheese, and bacon, you corpulent, backwoods, slackjawed pig-fag.
Can’t we send this manswine a few cases of fatback, corn pone, pickled pigs’ feet, and cheese?
The Left fighting the Left. What fun!
Does that include the administration who is threatening to close bases essential to national security if congressmen and senators don't support his socialistic, narcissistic plans?
Waaaaaay toooo funny for words, LOL
File this under who gives a shit.
Hope it was obvious, yet please know my statement was not directed toward you, LurkedLongEnoung.
If that lard-butt squatted in the center lane of north I-95 and Rosie took east I-84 they could cripple the entire state.
Crap, hope I don’t give him any ideas...
“but 45,000 people die every year because they don’t have health care”
So, how many die every year with health care? Who determines when or why we die? What age is acceptable? Our Government is just ridiculous. The lying pols will not admit it is about control, entitlements, and redistribution of wealth. I wish they would just “Go Away”.
More food for the homeless...
Yipee!
Connecticutians (?) are soooooooooooo relieved!............
