  • HealthCare is being passed tommorow! Lol! Obama beat yah mama! Lets get it Obama!

  • lieberman's political career is over, he's polling bush numbers in his own state. even bush did better in texas.

    he'll go down in history as blocking full access to affordable health care in favor of lining his and insurance company profits. the epitome of a corporate shill who let people die playing political games.

    a poster child of corrupt corporate greed run amok. this era of conservative obstructionists will be notorious for decades.

  • How are we preventing anyone from receiving care? Goods and services are not free and everyone, including the poor, is expected to pay for them. If you cannot pay for them, then you will not receive them. This is a very simple concept to understand.

  • @ bordenwesley. You know debating this subject with you has gone in a complete circle. You said the same things in the comments below. To your credit you haven't thrown any asinine insults like RadarGuidedVermin but like I said I'm tired of the same old conversation here. I disagree with you and Vermin so that's that. Also to Vermin: If I want to comment here I will, you'll just have to keep rating me down like the coward you are. Reps love to censor others.

  • But, why do you disagree with us? Thinking rationally is what needs to be done. Yes, there are deaths, but instead of preventing death altogether, why don't you make life more enjoyable. Obama's plan will destroy the economy and make all life in this country unenjoyable. This will also increase the death rate.

  • @ borden. I do think rationally. Obama's plan won't hurt anybody. You WANT his plan to fail. You and all the rest of the republicans WANT him to fail so your greedy beliefs will look like the only way for this country to run itself. THAT is the big business republican ANGLE on dominating the country. Either way the GOV is gonna be big and powerful. It's HOW you want to to run for it's people. YOU want it to coddle companies instead of running for people. Companies don't care about people.

  • Make me stop you pedophile prick! Oh I post Garbage huh? Okay think what you like but evrybody who commented here before you, me and bordewesley were liberals who were quite pissed off at lieberman. I messsed up and started straying off the subject here because of your replican insult tactics. Bravo asshole. But nobody like lieberman no matter how good you dominate this video in the comments.

  • Since we're going to stuck with Lieberman until the end of 2014, check out my Video Response, in which I appeal to our illustrious senator's conscience, along with at least 70 other CT clergy.

  • I guess people can just magically have good genetics with at least an average IQ go on to college [paying fot it themselves] no gov help and magically pass so they won't have to go on and make fries at the the McDonalds. No one will dig ditches no one will wok at car washes etc. EVERYBODY can be a lawyer, doctor, executive etc right? The ditches will dig themselves, the oil will change itself? We all can have money for anything we need right? We just have to be "motivated" right? Fuck you!

  • Comment removed

  • @ Radar. I'm no idiot. I've literally had my IQ checked by doctors, not some IQ test off the net. My IQ is well above average. Not genius but real good. Sorry to dissapoint. Anyhow You're an idiot to believe that the towers..especially world trade #7 fell down due to fire alone which was FULL of CIA, FBI offices. Fire cannot bring down a steel structure. The planes weren't enough to bring down the towers either. Jet fuel isn't hot enough plus the planes are hollow aluminum Vs. solid steel beams

  • Comment removed

  • @ RadarGuidedMoron. A blowtorch has more consistant heat. A blowtorch is not a fire and has nothing to do 9/11. A blowtorch is not jet fuel which most of the jet fuel was consumed in the initial explosion of the jet's impact, jet fuel has a limited burning temperature and cannot burn NEAR hot enough to bring down steal OR keep the metal cherry red for WEEKS after. One word for you. Thermite. Idiot. Hell the FBI told Ventura that "we [in the gov] all do things we're not supposed to talk about."

  • Also The unemployment got bad wth George "Dubya" Bush not Obama. Obama walked into a fucking MESS that "Dubya" created! Where do you get 40% from, Fox News, Glenn Beck, Rush Nazi Limbaugh? Oh we got plenty of money for false flag attacks with 9/11 to attack Iraq a country who didn't do it under a WMD LIE! PLENTY of money for defense contractors! But I guess to hell with the health of the disadvantaged citizens of the U.S. They can magically pay their own way right? Fuck you!

  • I got the 40% stat from the health care bill!

    False flag attacks? So 9/11 was false?

    To have goods and services provided you need to pay for it! Money doesn't grow on trees, but comes from hard work. You want more money, then work harder and live within your means.

    Life is like poker. It's not fair, but play the hand that you have been dealt to the best of your ability.

  • @ bordenwesley. I gave you reasons why we need the reform and you still want the greed system to stay in place. The prices would go DOWN because the gov would stop the fuckers from charging us to much. Apparently you don't know just how cheap healthcare can be. I don't mean cheap by quality I mean strictly PRICE. You've been brainwashed by the business world and it turned you into a ignorant rotten son of a bitch. Fuck you go forth and fucking die. Hope your family dies bitch. Feel some suffer

  • How is paying an extra 40% a reduction in price? I am still paying way more than I should. Also, who is going to be paying for this subsidized care when everyone is utilizing it? Lower health care costs = lower hospital revenue = lower quality of care plus an increase in the unemployment rate.

    Health care is not being denied. You have been brainwashed into thinking so.

    How am I ignorant? I worked very hard for my money and so should everyone else. No need for a double standard!

  • It's funny. You use suffering and dying people reasons why you want universal health care because you think that it would stop all of that. But, then you wish that my family and I suffer and die. Isn't that a contradiction? This just proves that you want universal health care no matter what the effects are on the economy. Please look at the big picture instead of just one minor part of it.

  • It will also increase wait time and lower health care quality resulting in more unnecessary deaths! Is that what you want, more deaths?

    Regarding fairness, in the end who is the one paying for health care? People like me! Why should charity be mandatory? There's a word for that, stealing.

  • Oh really, which hospital might that be?

  • Here, Google this article by CNN, "Public Option: Treatment Worse than Disease" Read it and then try to tell me that this is the best thing for the US.

  • "The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Jeffrey Miron." I read his bullshit. it's the same republican rhetoric. You're trying to make it look like that because the article was from CNN that it myst be a bi partisan view seeing as how we all know how "fair and balanced" fox news is. He's an asshole and you're an asshole. it's just more lies saying that we can't afford the poor blah blah blah. Oh no my money my money the quality will go down blah blah. Rep Rehtoric.

  • CNN and Fox news are two whole different things. Plus, there are news broadcasters that spew democrat rhetoric as well. At least we can use numbers and facts to back up our claims.

    "This excess demand, along with technological progress, means rapidly growing deficits, so governments limit reimbursements to health providers or ration care. This kills innovation and creates its own inequities. The taxes necessary to fund subsidies are a drag on economic growth."

  • That last quote is exactly what European countries and Canada are like right now. Do you want to follow in their footsteps and lower the quality of health care resulting in more deaths?

  • Numbers don't lie! Cancer patients in all of those countries don't have as good of a chance of surviving. Therefore, there is more dying among cancer patients in those countries than this one.

  • You say we should let people find their own way in paying 4 insurance. Okay. ALOT of the ones who can work aren't because we don't have the jobs. they had been on unemployment so long that it ran out, now the statistics don't show them anymore but they are there. JOBLESS! Big business like GM moved to china, they were very unpatriotoc by giving jobs to communists overseas LYING that they were "low on money" for north america when all they did was relocate their wealth overseas!

  • I hope Joe Leiberman dies a horrible PAINFUL death of deep bone cancer writhing in pain screaming with no pain killer even huge doses of dilaudid could touch. I hope it's so painful that in a narcotic induced sleep he still screams in utter pain then dies into the bowels of HELL for eternity.

  • Why would you hope for such a horrible thing? I thought you were fighting for health care for all instead of wishing some people would die while others can reap the benefits of the best health care in the world.

  • Politicians will lie. If you want proof of that, then look at Obama.

    Also, health care is not a right because rights do not involve goods and services of other people. How are we preventing poor people from having it? They can have it if they want it, but they are going to have to pay for it like everyone else.

    Why don't you answer this question. Why should I have to pay for a drug abuser or alcoholic to see a doctor? They made choices that affected their life and they should pay for it.

  • @bordenwesley

    Why should others have to help pay for the fire department to put out a fire at your house? Why should they have to help fund the police to investigate a crime against you or your family? Maybe choices YOU made contributed to a fire or a break in of your home. The reason we do both these things is that we are a civilized society where we stick together to help each other, FOR THE COMMON GOOD! Health care is no different.

  • Those organizations benefit the population as a whole while this health care plan will only benefit a portion of the population. I will be paying an additional 40% tax! How is that fair? Also, no amount of money can prevent death it can, however, rebuild a house or catch criminals.

  • We are preventing deaths by promoting no abortion, but we aren't preventing anyone from receiving health care. They can receive the good or service, if they can pay for it. Does a restaurant expect me to pay for the food I order? Does the car company expect me to pay for the car they provided me with? If you answered yes to either of the previous questions then how can you support Obama's plan?

  • @ bordenwsley. You are FUCKING stupid!! How old are you? They CAN'T receive good or SERVICES such as healthcare because SOME people aren't born into opportunity. SOME can pull out of it but some cannot through NO fault of their own. Or some were even born flawed unhealthy etc BECAUSE lack of healthcare! Who pays YOUR health insurance? Don't LIE! You're yet another stupid idiot young BRAINWASHED [by mommy and daddy] republican. Money AND morals working together you'll never understand.

  • YOU DON'T NEED TO BE BORN INTO OPPORTUNITY TO AFFORD BASIC HEALTH CARE! You do however need to live within your means.

    I pay for my own health insurance because I went to school and have a job that pays well.  If you hand someone stimulus check after stimulus check, they are going to have no motivation to do any work. That's the problem with Obama's thinking. You know, the easiest way to convert a Dem into a Repub is to make him/her pay taxes.

  • @ bordenwesley So I see you are only 20 yrs old. If you finished High school and went to college you'd might only have a 2 year degree and that isn't shit. You are a liar about your own progress OR you are lying about your age. Maybe you do have a 4 year degree with a career and you lie about your age on youtube to try to pick up young kids, possible pedophile? Either way you have no credibility. Example So a 80 IQ person BORN poor can afford to pay for health insuranse through a McDonalds wage?

  • @ RadarGuidedFucker. Huh 4 posts in a row. Man the truth I wrote really must have gotten on your nerves. Anyhow who says I'm a freeloader... not me. Maybe just MAYBE I have a better concept of morals and managing the health of the entire country than you. Our corrupt gov has already coddled big business and that's why alot of people are going without right now. The only ones "crying" right now are the republicans over this. Like Sen McConnel, traitor Lieberman and McCain.

  • @ RadarGuidedVermin. "Coeliac" is not the american way of spelling it. If you are american like me then it's spelled Celiac. If you are not american then spell it anyway you wish. You can google the disease all you want but you'll never understand it like I do. YOU should have stayed in school to learn different countries spell things different. I said you weren't supposed to put the 'S at the end of Celiac but you choose to ignore your own stupidity. Typical republican. You got owned BITCH.

  • Sad thing is we are the ones defending the current system while the Dems are the ones whining and crying. You guys want to change the entire system.

  • We aren't denying anyone health care (you just have to pay for it)! Also, taxes do hurt us! I am sorry, but instead of me paying $9,000 a year for my health insurance, I am going to have to pay $12,600. Why don't we tax those who will use the Public Option 40%? Also, who is going to pay for this subsidized insurance if everyone is part of it?

  • You never answered my question. Who is going to pay for subsidized health insurance when everyone is utilizing it? Trust me, I would rather pay less than half rather than a 40% increase.

  • @ bordenwesley. In the constitution it was written that we all have right to education. Edu IS a service, it requires teachers to work. It's free and for everyone. If we get the full healthcare reform the gov will stop the overcharging and it will be affordable, but right now the reps are fighting this prolonging the expensive big business based system. If it went through, U wouldn't pay what you do right now! Hell we already have socialized education!

  • Where in the Constitution does it say that education is a "right?" You are right, if health care reform went through I wouldn't pay what I pay now, I would pay 40% more! How is the current system inhumane? It doesn't prevent anyone from seeking health care! Since when is charity mandatory?

    You go on about unemployment. Who caused the unemployment to skyrocket to the double digits for the first time in almost 30 years?!?!? That's right, Obama.

  • It's in there. If we didn't have Gov funded public education the masses would be severely uneducated. If we had universal healthcare we wouldn't have people going without it. The current system DOES prevent people from getting care!! I gave you legit examples of what's going on such as a POOR child with cancer etc and you ignore it. You sidestep the truth. Maybe if that child's parents are low IQ is that the parent's fault or is it the child's hmm?

  • Where is it in the Constitution? Please provide examples.

    How does the current system prevent someone from receiving health care? If you pay for it, then you get it! It's like eating in a restaurant and paying for the food you ate. You wouldn't get it for free.

    You give examples of people who cannot afford health care. That doesn't mean that it's being denied!

    The unemployment rate went up 3.6% with Obama in office. Bush was out, therefore not at fault.

  • Lieberman is a disgrace to his party and a traitor!!!! who owns ya Joe Who owns ya!!!!!!!! You dirty bastard while you are at the doctors getting your free check up think about all of the millions of sick people you just fucked!!!!!!!!

  • An example should be made of him, and your comment: WHO OWNS YOU JOE? Sounds like a good viral, not to mention a great bumper sticker.

    Post it on every vid you see: Who Owns You Joe?

  • Jpe Lieberman is a whore for the insurance companies, and I am sick of it. Please, people, if you live in his state throw his ass out of the Capitol.

  • Absolutely!!!

  • Lieberman's Hebrew insurance CEO in Hartford enjoy billionaire offices in tall buildings. Millions of us new serfs bled for Hebrew CEO fortunes wonder when Joe will be there. Also Hebrew succubus Obama & Likiud Rob Emmanuel taking the taxpaid insurance campaign checks? Are those tall buildings housing GOP-Likud Insurance CEO murder op's safe from airline attack? Since Cheney's Bin Laden CIA-Mossad team murdered11 victims, we wonder if anybody plans to return the favor to GOP-Likud Obama owners?

  • Joe Lieberman is a monster who works for the insurance companies. Joe has to goooooooooooo!

  • Yes Lieberman MUST BE DEFEATED in 2012!! Dems should get a back bone...fuck Lieberman and use reconcilation and pass healthcare with 51 votes..The Repubs used this method when they was in power to pass the tax cuts for the wealthy..Repubs seem to get things done there way when they have power...Dems should do the same!!

  • It is funny to see the leftist hate that is spewed here. I will now go back to a conservative site where ideas are exchanged, not vile attacks that lack any back up in reality. You guys give "liberals" a bad name. In fact you are not liberals, you are either leftists or useful idiots. Any 2000 page bill written in secret by Pelosi?Reid cannot possibly be good. Where did the cspan transparency go?

  • Joe is a hero. The Reid/pislosi/obama health care bill is an atrocity. 2000 pages of socialism. If America can get to 2010 we can take our country back from the Bush/Obama one world trash America cabal.

  • Lieberman quoted today (12/5) in WSJ.

    "They are going to have to drop some things . . . the obvious being the public option"

    "I'm being more stubborn and certain about this . . .

    I feel like I've got to say no."

  • I HATE joe liberman. I hope this ruins his career in

    politics. Get him out now.

  • Grow your own dope...plant Joe Lieberman!

  • joe knows his political career is done after this blatant act of betrayal.

  • Thank you Joe for agreeing to filibuster this piece of shit.

  • Its a piece of Shit because anti Abortion, Health lobbyist & their lapdogs like LIBERMAN with simple people, paranoids & fear all got involved to water down the Bill. Health Insurance Companies aren't the solution they are the Problem.

  • that's MR. President to you; you piece of shit.

  • Lieberman is a whore & a horrible looking one at that!

  • Dillion I can't stand him but be nice!

  • Joe Leiberman has proven to be a nightmare for Jewish democrats. Hes practically Republican. A toady for the rich!

    I despise what he says and does but I'll defend his right to say it and denounce any Jew hate remarks.

  • Kreplach, Here! Here!

  • Said like Elvis...

    Thank ya thank ya vehhrrrry much.

  • Yes!!! Lieberman said today on Fox News he will prevent the bill from getting a vote if it contains a public option!

    Reform will pass, but the attempt at laying the groundwork for eventual universal health care, which top Democrats like Barney Frank admit is their eventual goal, is crushed. Reform the system, but keep it! Way to go, Joe!

    Democrats are eating the filibusters and threats of filibuster they dished out 2001-06. Payback is a female dog hahahahhahahaha!

  • Gee, RuflessRecords, nice to know you care about 40 million uninsured......

  • Jon, I don't care about any of the uninsured who have the money to buy insurance but don't. We should help those who can't on their own, but not through another horribly run govt program like Social Security and Medicare. You know that 6.6% of your paycheck taken out every week for SS? Demos promised it would never be more than 3% after 1948 in the original bill.

  • So what are you going to do someday if (just possibly) you're not wealthy enough not to need any assistance?

    Are you going to turn down that horribly run SS you paid into your whole life? Are you going to turn down that horrible Medicare program you paid into?

    Are you prepared to vow you'll never use either of these horrible entitlement programs?

  • I'm prepared to oppose another program following these failures to deliver what Democrats said at the cost they said and I'm also prepared to opt out of Social Security, Medicare etc and invest my own payroll tax money if ever given the opportunity by the all-knowing, all-wise government rulers.

  • Carrots are good! >:(

  • If you live in Connecticut and have a facebook join my facebook group Recall Joe Lieberman

  • Joe should go

  • Exactly. That's why I created the movement. You have a facebook and live in Connecticut? Do you know someone who has a facebook and live in Connecticut? If so tell them to join my group and tell them to tell their friends to join too.

  • Why is Joe Lieberman constantly somewhere lodged inside John McCain's colon?

  • i think joe's all ready pulled the wrong chamber.

    in fact, i wrote him this weekend explaining just how he's being seen as playing politics, and protecting his own pocket while people die.

    joe lieberman has seriously under estimated the can of worms he's opened here.

  • here's the deal joe. you're playing russian roulette with your career. you think you're in the driver seat, but it ain't so bitch.

    you play along... or you lose your membership on homeland security, and the governmental affairs committee. you then get to sit with repubs doing nothing until connecticut runs you out of their state.

    you get no concessions, you get nothing.

    what you get, IF you play along. is to keep what you got, otherwise, you will go down faster than a meteorite.

  • Lieberman accepted over a million in insurance lobbyist money. What did it buy them? Joe Lieberman!

    He promised to join the Republicans to filibuster any chance of the public option being offered to the American people.

    Meanwhile, Joe Lieberman gets to keep HIS government-administered insurance, which you and I can't purchase.

    Remember that, when you are forced to buy private insurance with high deductibles and limitations, while his insurance has none.....

  • Joe Lieberman is the best politician in Washington.

    The schmucks here who spew anti semitic remarks are a bunch of idiotic hillbillies, bunch of stupid morons!

  • I'm not one of those Schmucks (see my earlier posting) nor a HILLBILLY which could be concrewed as a disparaging remark. Joe Liberman was for Universal Healthcare b4 he was against it or should I say b4 the Ins lobby found him.

    He's a Shonda!

  • You would think the Jews of all people would be able to identify tyranny. Dont be a sheep this time.

  • Never trust a traitor. Once a traitor ...always a traitor.

    Use and discard.

  • I'm sure traitor Joe will receive a soft landing with a large insurance company when he leaves office.

  • Say it ain't so... okay, I kinda expected it from Joe.

  • Lieberman shows his heartless Jew face again. But he's not the only one. Politicians will do or say anything that benefits themselves.

  • Kerasea, I'm not happy w/ Liberman but there is absolutely no need for the vulgar anti semetic remark. Shameful!

  • Derby, you're absolutely right. I don't know why I said that. U-tube brings out the worse in people and I guess I'm no exception. I'm old enough to know better.

    Washington hits a nerve with me but it's no excuse.

    Thanks

  • Joe Libermann only works for Israel & the Insurance Companies - not the people of the United States & not even for his own state.

    HE WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER ELECTION!

  • joe liberman thinks for himself only narrow minded pupets go 100% with democrats ways

  • This plan includes a "special provision for making patients comfortable while forgoing treatment. Especially designed for liberal victims who feel that they should receive for free what others have worked for. They are to be made "comfortable" and be offered pain pills, but under no circumstances are they to be saved or revived in their last days, as determined by a government review board in Washington D.C.. Conservative patients are to be saved in whatever way is needed at whatever cost. "

  • Joe Lieberman your are sleeping with the enemy or maybe you have always been the enemy of the less fortunate?

  • He's been a DINO since the word 'go': the GOP funded his judgeship even before he went to Capital Hill (a race also also GOP-funded).  He's the Kim Philby (or Jonathan Pollard?) of American politics.

  • zzx2847, Lieberman is filibustering because he's a REAL SLIMEBALL!

  • lieberman is a prime example of the cancer we have in our government...corporate whore-ism!!!!

  • Lieberman is filibustering because he's a REAL Democrat along the the lines of JFK, not these pinko Regressives that have hijacked the party since the time of McGovern.

  • That is because Private Insurance uses almost 30% of premiums just to administer the plan and pay their CEO's an average of 11.5 million in annual salary. Medicare uses less than 3% and Canada, uses 1.7 % in Admin Fees.

    They are so ripping off eveyone!

    They should all be in prison for running a racket.

  • Traitor Joe will be swiftly removed from office next time around.

    He is bought and owned by Big Insurance.

    Sad as even the Republicans know in their hearts morally, what the right thing to do is. just shows how greed and money can corrupt their moral values.

    Sad. The lowest form of human life we are witnessing. Bought and sold while Americans are dying.

    Such immoral greedy people will not inherit God's Kingdom.

    Yet, they call themselves Christians

  • ins companies have a 2.2%profit margin ranking 35th among industries.forbes mag oct 2009.suprised i could read it after driving by the the local hospital and seeing all of the people dying on the front lawn.

  • tell joe not to worry about socialism, ive decided to become a commie bastard

  • Dems are gonna pay dearly for this crap, guaranteed. I can't wait until they're all dead.
