Lieberman Sets Record Straight

[hopeurfree]

cobrompton - Do you admire the country of Venezuela and it's leader Comrade Chavez?

[hopeurfree]

cobrompton - When you confiscate money from a small minority to pay for the majority, that is tyranny. All Americans should be paying for this healthcare debacle, not just a few. The idea that someone making $190,000 per year will get subsidized by someone making $250,000 is absurd. That is one reason a majority of Americans think this legislation is a bowl of crap.

[cobrompton]

This man is just a tool working for the insurance companies.

[hopeurfree]

Are you a tool for Big Government? Are you capable of taking care of yourself and paying your own bills? If so, why do you want others to pay your bills?

[cobrompton]

I wish to help pay for the well being of my fellow human.

[hopeurfree]

My guess is that you won't pay a cent. Those making over 250k will pay for it.

[hopeurfree]

Hell, you won't pay a cent, you are only 21 years old. If you want to pay and help your fellow man, being a Democrat won't cut it. They want others to pay their bills, they don't want to pay a dime.

[cobrompton]

I see FOX NEWS has been having a good time with your fragile mind.

Thanks for checking out my channel.

Now go speculate about somebody else's intentions you ass.

[hopeurfree]

Hate to tel you this, but Fox has more viewers in prime time than all the leftist cable news shows put together. Go see tvbythenumbers (Nielson Ratings). Your life is pretty much laid out for you. You will complain about others making more money than you and wonder why you are stuck at a dead end job. You will hate those that succeed and follow any politician who will confiscate their wealth and give it to you. You are a future loser.

[cobrompton]

Merry Christmas

[hopeurfree]

Merry Christmas!

[Neil6000]

The ignorance being posted on this page is incredible. 85% of people that can't get health-care ARE working - they're not welfare cases. All of you that think you have good health insurance at the moment are probably not going to be able to keep it. As you age or become ill it will become unaffordable.

I'm sorry that America is full of so many ignorant people that believe everything they are told by insurance companies and their cronies. You're all being lied to and don't realize it.

[Neil6000]

PEOPLE ON WELFARE ARE ALREADY GETTING FREE HEALTH-CARE AND HAVE BEEN FOR DECADES - DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT???

It is the working people that aren't getting the health-care and even if have insurance now - you won't be able to afford it in the future. Wake-up!!!

[hopeurfree]

Fine, then give them vouchers to pay for healthcare. If you say that there are 24 million Americans (no illegals) without insurance, you could give each of them $400 per month for insurance. The cost $115 billion per year. They would ALL HAVE INSURANCE! No takeover by politicians, no one gets mad and we get along. However, Democrats want to control our lives and the economy, it is a power grab.

[Neil6000]

hopeurfree

"you could give each of them $400 per month for insurance"

Uh, we had something like in the health-care bill allowing people 55-65 to buy into Medicare but Lieberman said no and that's what this video is about - an asshole.

[hopeurfree]

We are talking about the uninsured.

[hopeurfree]

Foul language makes you sound like a kid.

[hopeurfree]

Neil - All of the problems you complain about could be taken care of by laws made by congress without taking over the the entire health care business. This is nothing more than a Democrat (Socialist) attempt at taking over the entire government. You know it and I know it. One thing the Socialists didn't count on was the American people turning on them. Looks like the Republicans will own the House after 2010 and pick up 6-7 Senate seats. Dingy Harry Reid doesn't have a chance, the POS.

[Neil6000]

hopeurfree

"This is nothing more than a Democrat (Socialist) attempt at taking over the entire government."

Then I guess we should dissolve all of our police departments, fire departments, public schools, and military as they are ALL socialist institutions according to that line of reasoning.

[hopeurfree]

no, nitwit, those are something all of us pay for and need. You want a small minority of Americans to pay for healthcare, instead all Americans paying. Don't be a smart ass. Be an adult.

[TagerFu]

hopeurfree you're the one acting like a child with your name calling. Neil makes a good point and you're the one that has no understanding of what health care reform was all about. It was about everyone paying a little bit to make it affordable for all in the same way that we all pay for public schools, police department, fire departments, etc.

[hopeurfree]

Tager - That is the problem, only a tiny minority is being forced to pay for it. It is called Socialism, stick it to the minority, so the majority will go along with this stupid idea. Anyway, why would someone from Zambia even give a rats ass?

[TagerFu]

hopeurfree I'm a U.S. citizen working in Zambia.

[hopeurfree]

my wife has a bad sense of humor sometimes. LOL. The word above should have given you a hint "okie", from Oklahoma. I apologize.

[hopeurfree]

mining?

[Neil6000]

hopeurfree

Hey idiot, you live in the UK and you already get universal health-care - you're just posting nonsense here to be a troll so shut-up.

[hopeurfree]

I live in the UK? Gee, when did I move there? You ought to move there yourself. When you need a hip replacement, you get to wait 2 years, then they may deem you too old.

[TagerFu]

hopeurfree I just took  a look at your channel and it says you live in the United Kingdom.Of course everything else you posted here is a lie so maybe that is too.

[hopeurfree]

GO TOM COBURN!!!!!!!!!!!  One Good Okie!!!!

"I am for State's Rights"

We already fought a war over that in the 1860s and your side lost.

[hopeurfree]

Neil, too bad it looks like your dream of government healthcare is going down the incinerator chute!

[Neil6000]

hopeurfree

You're the loser too pal - we all our.

[hopeurfree]

nei - I did not lose, I saved a bundle. My health care, which I am quite happy with, won't be screwed with. The majority of Americans avoided the cliff dive.

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

You are totally missing the point....

YOU only have a fire department because EVERYONE is forced to pay for it - even though the vast majority of people will never even have a need for it in their lifetime.

So I ask you again, if my house never catches on fire, why should I have to pay for YOUR house to be saved by the fire department???

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

I also don't want to pay for public education, I have no kids in school, so why should I have to pay for that???

This is YOUR entire argument.

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

"I have a question for all you who want to force Obamacare on those of us who do not want it"

Here's where your lack of education totally shows. It isn't about charity at all and has nothing to do with compassion. If we had a single payer health care system that the young and healthy paid into as well as the old and sick THEN HEALTHCARE WOULD BE MUCH CHEAPER FOR ALL OF US.

But you can't comprehend that. can you?

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

"Why should their problem be my problem ?"

EXACTLY, so call up your local fire department and tell them not to show up if your house ever catches on fire - you don't need them and you'll take care of it yourself with your garden hose.

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

"Let's fix that problem by passing a law that people who go to the emergency room and get treatment must pay their own bill or go to jail"

This is possibly the dumbest comment I have ever seen on YouTube. It is doubtful that any average person could pay off a 6 figure bill in their lifetime & it doesn't take long in a hospital for costs to escalate to 6 figures.

Maybe it would be easier if they hired people with your bad attitude to just shoot the uninsured rather than treat them.

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

Using your logic, we don't need to pay for fire departments either. If your house catches on fire let's bill you say $30,000 for saving your house, would you like that? Better yet - you own a garden hose don't you? Put your own damn house fire out - why should I have to pay for it?

The flaw in your logic is that you haven't been on the receiving end yet of some very bad circumstances - someday you will need help and the rest of us will be there to save you.

[Neil6000]

shooterca51

"It is not up to me to pay for someone else's healthcare unless I choose to as a private citizen"

You are ALREADY paying for someone else's health-care with the millions of uninsured that are forced to use expensive emergency rooms. This cost has been directly passed on to you in the form of higher medical and insurance costs.

[Gymjocked]

Lieberman you ass. Let the legislative process begin at least. Stop your freeking filibustering and let it come to an up or down vote. What are you afraid of. This dick should have his chairmanships stripped. He is a corporatist pig who is definately not voting with his constituents best interests, or even their beliefs. 80% in conn support a public option.

[hopeurfree]

If you think government healthcare is so great, go visit an indian health clinic. You will see rationing of care. Any indian that can afford private care certainly does. The government system sucks.

[Raksaht]

So hopeurfree, do you not have the slightest problem with the obscene profits that the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies are making? You readily slam Obama as a nut job, but you have no ethical problem with this aspect of the status quo? Do you honestly NOT CARE that so many working Americans don't have health coverage at all or that they can't afford to keep their houses if they get sick? Pray that you never have to truly count on an insurance company to come to your rescue.

[hopeurfree]

Without profit, you get a system that never improves. If you want better drugs, better care, profit must be there.

[hopeurfree]

By the way, do you work for free?

[hopeurfree]

Raksaht - You aren't even American. You live in a Socialist State. You have no idea what freedom even is.

TERMS LIMITS NOW

[joebidensanass]

Harry Reid is a whore of the labor unions.

This healthcare bill was written by the labor unions.

[DMiller468]

Could this be the man who sold out his country to save his wife's job? Hey Joe, my wife lost her job 10 months ago and she still fights for the values that made this country great!

[joebidensanass]

not as much as the money Obama, Biden and Reid received from labor unions.

[malwint]

Wonder how much money Lieberman is getting from insurance companies?

[joebidensanass]

Socialist fascists, like Obama, hate people like Lieberman

[hopeurfree]

Get rid of all incumbents. Republican and democrat.  Vote your conscience.

[hopeurfree]

Throw all of them out in 2010. Those pricks are in it for the fame.

[exxodus29]

Maybe Republicans are on to something when they say they don't want liberals in their party. One thing about Republicans is they stand together no matter how crappy their policies are. Democrats have to many wavering people in their party therefore they end up fighting and bitching amonst themselves and end up not getting anything done. They need to purge buttholes like liberman out of the party. And stand up and say if you are going to be with us then be with us. Lieberman makes me sick.

[exxodus29]

This slacked jaw idiot need to be pecked to death by ducks. Crap like this is exactly the reason I don't vote. I'm not going to waste my time standing in a long line to vote idiots like this in office only to have them sell out to big corporations and their interests. I don't have faith in any of them especially Republicans. So until they put laws on the book banning big corporations influence on our law makers, I will never vote. Because our voice will not matter anyway. It's money.

[hopeurfree]

Everyone has a right to participate in our system. So, should only leftists have a right to participate?

[jasonlloyd33]

Who Owns You Joe!!!

[cliffhanger57]

Joe your the man. keep putting the people first. HELP STOP THIS MADDNESS, GOD BLESS

[upperwestside]

Connecticut. Would you vote this prick out already!!!!!

[quest8899]

lieberman is so damn annoying, just take sides! whats wrong with you!

[Hydron27]

Now lets all watch the Democrats cry like the babies they do when things dont go there way. But when things do go there way they throw it in everyones face. They are poor losers and poor winners. Good way to teach the young crowd Democrats! Example: When Sen. Arlen Specter changed sides to Democrat they were happy and trew it in peoples faces. When people spoke out aganst Obama in public they cried and even called people raciests. So I thank e1 who voted in the Doucheacrats, plz dont vote again!

[Neil6000]

Hydron27

This has nothing to do with what party you like the best. Several thousand people are dying every month (including republicans) because they cannot afford health care - in particular the 55-65 year old group that have worked hard all their life & are now discriminated against by insurance companies because of their age & deteriorating health condition. YOU will be a member of that group too one day & will face the same problems.

Lieberman just gave those people a death sentence.

[hopeurfree]

Wah! Do you know how many won't have health care in 2019 under this stupid bill, 24 million. Obama is full of crap. It is all about a governmental takeover of private business. He could care less about his fellow Americans.

[Neil6000]

hopeurfree

"Do you know how many won't have health care in 2019 under this stupid bill, 24 million"

And 50 million right now don't have health care and that number is growing by the thousands every single day. You need to open your eyes rather than being influenced by insurance corporation propaganda. We are the ONLY industrialized nation on earth that doesn't take care of our own people. There is no profit for Obama to want health care reform but there is plenty of profit to oppose it.

[hopeurfree]

nei - So you will destroy our economy just to get insurance for these folks. Why not just give them vouchers instead destroying the system we have? Another huge government program is stupid. Obama is nothing more than a Socialist nut job, bent on destroying the private system which built the greatest economy the world has ever known.

[Raksaht]

Insurance companies are the real death panels. They can deny health coverage, drop coverage and basically do whatever the hell they want. Joe leiberman is a whore to the insurance companies. The US has a very evild side. They seem to have absolutely no problem wasting lives and billions of dollars on unethical imperialistic wars, yet they can't provide health care to all Americans... simply pathetic and this is NOT all Obama's fault. The private system is evil and heartless.

[hopeurfree]

Get Real - Socialists. You really want another big ass program that you can hold over the heads of the people. If you think the government is so great at handling things, you are insane.

[Neil6000]

hopeurfree

"So you will destroy our economy just to get insurance for these folks"

It won't destroy our economy, that is insurance company hype that you have fallen for. National health-care has NOT destroyed the economy of all the other countries that have it.

"bent on destroying the private system which built the greatest economy the world has ever known"

Really? Then why did our economy COLLAPSE under Bush when all controls had been taken off??? You aren't basing your opinion on facts.

[Hydron27]

and I will still feel the same at that age. Just cause Ill be 55 dosnt mean I will be compelled to sell out my country.

[Neil6000]

Hydron27

"Just cause Ill be 55 dosnt mean I will be compelled to sell out my country. "

Getting affordable health care for everyone is NOT selling out your country. Letting innocent Americans die everyday just because they have health problems and they can't afford to pay outrageous medical costs is VERY un-American. We ARE the country, not the government - they're supposed to be working for US remember? Lieberman has forgotten that.

[Neil6000]

Hydron27

"and I will still feel the same at that age...55"

NO, YOU WON'T. You're only 29 now and you have no idea how you'll feel in 26 years. I've seen people in their 50s with their intestines poking through their abdominal wall that couldn't afford an operation to get it fixed. They lost heir job and had no insurance and couldn't get rehired by anyone BECAUSE of their health problem....that could be you, OR A LOVED ONE in 26 years due to circumstances that you have no control over.

[Hydron27]

If you have $10.00 to your name, homeless, no car, and you live in a cardboard box and one credit card with $200.00 on it and you need food but the food cost $11.00 what would you do? I'll tell you what you would do. You would spend the ten dollars and the two hundred dollars in order to feed yourself. But how will you pay the credit car back later? you cant. you just spent money you dont have. Thats what your friends in the dirty government are doing. And guess who pays for there debt? TAXPAYER

[Hydron27]

Tax payers pay for it in the end. The people who actually work for a living. Not the welfare broke asses who have kids just for free cash that we give them threw our paychecks! If these people who live off the government would stop being the lazy asses they are they would have insurance dipshit. And dont even throw in my face there arnt enough jobs either, cause thats all you and your Democrats fault too! Bill Clinton signing the free trade act basicly sending all jobs overseas. You know nothing

[myboylollipop09]

Welcome to hebeville!

[hopeurfree]

No, he saved the nation from a further economic disaster that Americans are are against. He is doing the will of the people. Democrats are putting ideology above country. In other words, they are flirting with a meltdown in 2010. None of Barry's ideas are worth a damn, nothing but Socialist crap.

[luigicamp69]

I wish this guy lived in Italy... they would take care of him in 5 minutes; clean and fast job, out of the picture. He's a loser who looks for attention because he's a failure.

[hopeurfree]

I love it, sunk by a former Democrat VP Candidate. Don't worry, Democrats will weasel it in somehow.

[hopeurfree]

It is the Democrats who betrayed him. Short memory, eh!

[movement26]

Judas Lieberman.........The Betrayer.

[Hydron27]

Shut the fuck up movement26 and quit crying. One name for you bitch, Sen. Arlen Specter !

[hopeurfree]

He saved the taxpayers a bundle. Democrats shouldn't have screwed him. What goes around, comes around.

[ziggy471961]

They didn't screw him,he screwed himself. He went against his party then. Let him join the republicans.

[marinagipps]

Lieberman's own health care is taxpayer subsidized. Individual plans in Congress start at 42 dollars a month and are roughly 503.00 per year. He needs those lobbyist dollars for his run against Nader in Connecticut and he needs his own private health insurance plan that you, the unsuspecting, seem to cover for him and the rest of Congress. They don't care about us. Keep that in mind as they vote against health reform. Take care...y'all...

[RichardE8ST]

This filthy lying rat is getting rich with HC insurance lobbyist payoff's. He knows his career is over so he is cashing in. There should be laws that would make this sleazy practice illegal

[socomcorky]

Left/right and moderate/liberal is all bullshit. Its about rich vs. poor. Any politician who tries to do something, anything to help people who work their asses off only to get screwed over and over are labeled "liberal". Rich people (like Joe Lieberman) destroyed this country and as usual the working person has paid the price. Poor people thought Democrats were really gonna stick up for them and they were fooled again. Rich corporate centerist democrats destroyed the party.

[exxodus29]

@socomcorky You are absolutely right. I don't trust any of these idiots which is why I don't vote. I voted for Obama in spirit. But if he really wants to make changes, he needs to ban lobbying and make it 100% illegal. And punish any lawmaker who accepts any financial bribes of any kind. Let the public know their names and run the SOB's out of office. I'm sick of nonsense like this. It's money that congress responds to not the people.

[BNNYWVH1]

He is under the devil's spell! He sounds drunk!

[hopeurfree]

Paybacks are hell. LOL. Way to go Joe!!!!! The Democrats treated him as Democrats do when they turn on their own. Just shows how far left the Democrat Party has become.

[Wolffanator]

Joe Lieberman is a terrible human being.

[ziggy471961]

why doesn't joe just join the republican party and be done with it!

[xHalfpipepaul]

What a guy. He saved this country a lot of money.

[tjfgermany58123]

He talks like that old SNL character " Here's Pat" You know, it was never known if he was a girl or a guy. I liked Pat, Joe is a sorry cocksucking Media whore.

[Hwy2guitars]

Thank you CBS for posting this video in it's entirety. Associated press took theirs down after numerous neg comments against Joe within a short period of time.

If you find it back up well just know they took it down because I search everywhere.

JOE IS LYING! I just heard SEN BROWN SAY PUBLIC OPTION IS NOT DEAD!
