Lieberman Makes Cost-Shift Argument Against The Public Option

[Cordero787]

Fucking whore Lieberman! Why don't you tell Israel to dismantle THEIR universal health care system,huh?

[KataVideo]

joe lieberman is a worthless little prick

everyone hates you joe

even the insurance and medical companies who've given you $1.6 million over the years.

Slimy Joe from Connecticut, where Hartford is the city of insurance companies, fighting the public option side by side with the insurance companies.

To hear the other side, check the utube video:

"Sheldon Joins Colleagues at Press Conference to Support a Public Option"

Turncoat Joe was one of the biggest supporters of "entitlements" and universal healthcare before grabbing onto the coattails of neocon McShame.

How can his Connecticut constituency be on board the roller coaster with this clown?

His Holiness: "This is a new entitlement program...the debt's gonna go higher, and that's just the wrong thing to do now..."

Yeah, what's more important: short-term countercyclical debt or 50K senseless deaths every year & a medical-related bankruptcy crisis?

Get real...sick people ain't gonna fill the ol' campaign coffers, or offer Joe a plum insurance company gig, post-politics.

Nauseating that this was the Dems' 2000 VP candidate.

I voted Nader & was right to do it.

Joe you have just sealed your fate. Your days as a Democrat are done. You are going against the will of your constituents and the country at large.

[doctender77]

He just seems more slimy everyday

[Plutonwolf]

Joltin Joe needs to go, he is just an election Ho.

Takes the loot and then he'll scoot

to his knees so he can blow.......................Isr­ael.

Hey people of Connectthedots, he is your shame, we here in Pa appreciate your supplanting of our shame award for electing slick Rick Santorum........Grazzie.

I think Joltin' Joe purposefully threw the 2000 election to Bush by raving on about his religious convictions in forums where it wasn't appropriate. It alienated a lot of people. Since then, he's largely been a friend of the GOP.

[Plutonwolf]

he is a sly little bastard, isn't he. I hated his being chosen as a running mate for Gore, he was slimy wimp personified. I wish he would retire, live out his dreams by going to Israel and bombing a few Palestinian schools and then die. Well, skip the going to Israel and the bombing of schools.

[kaysandesses]

Hey, he could just go to Israel. The voters in Connecticut had better get off their asses and move towards replacing Lieberman.

Lieberman is instrumental in assuring the U.S. gives several BILLION dollars a year to Israel to help them kill or evict Palestinians, yet he doesn't think we should spend much of anything to assure our own citizens are healthy.

[Plutonwolf]

joe LIEberman, the senior Senator from Jerusalem. Arlen Specter is the junior.

[kaysandesses]

I just noticed something funny from a print news story: Read closely:

"Senator Joe Lieberman's (I-Conn.)"

The parenthetical tells it all: "I" and "Conn". I am a Con.

[Cordero787]

Exactly! That greedy mongrel....Bastard turncoat whore Lieberman. And guess what? Israel has Universal health care....Once again,everyone but America has it!

[kaysandesses]

That's because Israel and the rest of the industrialized world realizes that appropriate, meaningful healthcare coverage outweighs allowing lobbyists to buy floor time in their legislative bodies. Apparently 43 U.S. Representatives don't feel that way.
