Oh, there WILL be consequences for harmful tactics! The American people will see to it! Lieberman is just saving his own skin.
Seriously, Lieberman is a piece of shit.
Lieberman is acting like the only democrat with a brain. Oh, wait.. He’s an independent now because his democratic colleagues are too bitter about his dissenting opinion. “Why else would he attempt to deny the American people desperately needed health reform?” Really?? I don’t even know where to begin with that statement. It must be nice to boil are your arguments down to such black and white terms. At best, it’s lazy, but unless you’re really incapable of complex thought, it’s just plain misleading. No wonder the majority of Americans are fed up with the political discourse in this country. Terrible article.
“Why else would he attempt to deny the American people desperately needed health reform?” …are you serious?
Deny Amercian people health care? Why should we pay for other peoples health care. I do not know why people lately have this give me complex like the government should give them health care. The Liberals are just spending like drunken sailors and ruining this great country. Should the government also provide daycare, or how about clothes for a new job.
The man is not what he claimed to be. I voted for him and deeply regret it.
I totally agree with Dave. Why should the hard working people of this country continually pay for the people who won’t get of their lazy as….. and get a job, lose weight (since 65% of the people in this country are overweight) and strive for a better life. They all want someone to take care of them and I am getting tired of the government spending my tax dollars to support these useless people. How is the government going to pay for this anyway, without raising taxes. Another great job Mr. President, by promising not to raise taxes. Yea Right. Also, what about the President giving a 2% raise to all government workers starting Jan, 2010. Where is he getting that money from. I am so tired of this.

Good to see there are other commentators that are just as fed up with this line of thinking as me (and most people I know for that matter). The fact of the matter is, this health care bill is not in the American people’s best interest–it’s about massively increasing the size of the government. There is NO ONE that currently has health care that will be benefited by this bill. Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the far left extremists are cramming it down our throats with the help of hapless lemmings like this article’s author. The simple restraint that we all live by–you can’t spend more than you make–does not seem to register with these leftist hijackers of our country. Spend more, take more. That’s their prerogative, but we need to stop letting it happen.

I would have no objection If Lieberman was acting out of principle. However, he is bought and sold by the CT insurance industry, the real reason for his threats to filibuster, pure and simple. Personally, I am concerned with the various bills–cost and complexity, mainly. However, I strongly believe a public option, open to all, is necessary to compete with private insurers. Private insurers have lacked competition for many years but have failed to adequately serve the country.
JM’s comments about lazy people unwilling to get a job totally misses the real issues of needed reform. He/she obviously is ignorant about the real deficienies of the health care system we have to today. Peolpe with jobs also suffer from the greed of private insurers who ration care, deny them and/or cancel coverage, etc. So far, politicians have failed miserably in health care reform. Lieberman is no help.
