Joe Versus the Volcano

Joe Lieberman walks a fine ideological line and trips over his own feet much of the time, plus he talks like a weenie (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

…but today he stands poised to be an American Hero.

If a government plan is part of the deal, “as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote,” Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent whose vote Democrats need to overcome a GOP filibusters, told “Fox News Sunday.”

“I don’t want to do that to our children and grandchildren,” he said.

…or their parents for that matter.

  1. “plus he talks like a weenie (not that there’s anything wrong with that).”

    Not if you’re a Replican. Ask Rudy Giuliani. Or Steve Forbes. Or Bobby Jindal. Or Sarah Palin.

  2. She talks like some ignorant hausfrau from Minne….

    Uh, nevermind. I can see how you’d think she sounds perfectly intelligent, boy howdy!

  3. Mitch don’t forget the winey voice of VP Hubert H. Humptydumpty(the great) and Walter Mondull who’s HHH like winey voice cost him the presidency. Ah Assclown, back to flinging pooh, I see. You Tics sure love to preach tolerance, you just can’t EVER seem to practice it! Which, by the way, renders you irrelevant.

  4. how about staying on topic peoples? I’m betting that two things will happen in this Senate bill. One is that were going to be able to hold the filibuster with Libermann doing his best Mr.Smith. Second, Reid will get so much pressure from the Marxists/Socialists from DKOS DU and MoveOn that he will try to slam it through on reconciliation and it will FAIL because there are enough moderate dems (we only need 10, assuming Joe stays on board) and Obama and company will have a ton of egg on their face because they have a supermajority in the Senate and they won’t be able to get a simple majority to vote for it. Good thing we didn’t use the nuclear option back in 2005 huh guys?

  5. The Public option is a decoy. Even if that section is removed the rest of the bill is still garbage and does not deserve to pass. Don’t let Reid and Pelosi fool you they both know the Public options is not viable but they keep it around so most do not look at the rest of the bill. With a plan to drop it so people like Leiberman, Walz, and Peterson can eventually vote for the same lousy junk filled 110 NEW federal programs, agencies and commisions but no Public option like it is some grand solution.

  6. The plan is…getting anything passed. Then each year the Democrats will add more and more to it. Don’t get abortion now? Wait 2 years. Every election from now until we all die will be about gov’t run “health care” (sic).

  7. She talks like some ignorant hausfrau from Minne

    Right. She should sound like Fran Drescher, like all the girls in the freak tent.

  8. how about staying on topic peoples? Ben, slamming Assclown is ALWAYS on topic. We shouldn’t talk about reconciliation, we hope that the Tics use that option. As far as the “nuclear option” is concerned, he boys should have pulled the trigger. We wouldn’t be in the mess we are now if they had. The Tics filibustering a judical nominee was against Senate proticol.

  9. Oh, one tidbit of info you may not have heard about from PelosiCare:

    In 2013 all private insurance policies become illegal. The public option becomes the public mandate.

  10. Ok, slight correction. The sale of new private insurance policies becomes illegal. If you lose your policy, you’re forced to buy from the gov’t.

  11. The president:

    “What I think is appropriate is that in the same way that everybody has to get auto insurance and if you don’t, you’re subject to some penalty . . .”

    Not everybody has to get auto insurance. Hey, can I have some of that auto insurance that covers pre-existing conditions?
    Harvard educated moron. Still, he’s smarter than the people that voted for him.
