Nine people protesting in favor of universal health care were arrested for unlawful entry this morning after occupying the office of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), according to Capitol Police.

Protesters chanted "Everyone in and no one out, universal health care now!" and "Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!" as they were taken from the office, ABC News reports.

Lieberman, who votes with the Democratic caucus, has said he does not support the public option and may join Republican efforts to filibuster the Senate health care bill. ...

Lieberman is a whore for the Insurance companies.

I think everyone knows that now.

[aldenbuzz]

Joe Lieberman has received millions of dollars from the insurance companies.

He received an amount in the millions of dollars just last year. We;ll have to get the specifics and post them here for everyone to see.

Joe, you have no right to use the word conscience in reference to yourself. You do not HAVE a conscience. There's blood on your hands, and there's more blood on them every hour that you fight treatment-availabilty for regular Americans and all you do is ignore their needs.Get out!

You guys ROCK!

@DillonX You're absolutely right! Why doesn't that whore Lieberman (who's Jewish)go to Israel and order them to dismantle their universal health care if it's sooo immoral and wrong!

Reminds me of the oil embargo we had in 1973. Most people used the same logic, affordable oil for all. The government stepped in with price ceilings and thus shortages were created. Sure, oil was cheaper than what it would have been, but supply was low. Instead of using every available resource to buy or extract oil, we just sat on our hands.

Without dealing with the supply problem and expenses hospitals and drug companies have, prices will continue to rise and so will taxes.

At 1:14, was that a woman or man?

[FrozenStreams]

Lieberman is only concerned about protecting Israel, not the American people. With any luck he'll be taken out.

DO YOUR PART.

Senator from Israel.

The police in America, unfortunately, are only there to protect the corrupt political and corporate establishments that's flushing this country down the commode..
