Despite being a staunch Reaganite since High School days, I have voted for Joe Lieberman in every Senate election since those days.

I did so because I always sensed that despite certain agreements with me, he was a reasonable, sane, American.

I was right, and each and every one of my votes was Golden. I was voting all those years for the knife blade in the back of Leftist Lunacy.

Thanks, Joe!

Here is a good article about the core elements of the takeover – much more then simply medicare/medicade expansion and a new government insurance entitlement:

“What is fascinating (to me anyway) is that the Left could have had health-care socialism passed on a bipartisan basis months ago, if only they had suppressed their hubris. Republicans were (and remain) perfectly willing to approve community-rating and guaranteed-access regulations for private insurers; and if those were implemented, no one would need a government option or any of the other nostrums: Coverage would be transformed into a public-utility-type service, the insurers would remain “private” in only the most superficial of senses, and the government control and wealth transfers that represent the Holy Grails of the Left would be achieved.

But . . . no. Nancy and Harry and the others simply couldn’t stomach a few compromises that would have proven meaningless in the larger context of massive adverse selection and government takeover. They had 60 votes, and they just could not resist the temptation to shove it all down our throats. Now they may get nothing except collapsing prospects for the 2010 elections. Life is wonderful.”

I think the author and many others are far to premature in celebrating CrappyCare’s demise!

Yes, I think there is much drama going on – right now its to fuel the KOSer left into think that the D leadership did “all the can” before all variations of the government option is dropped!

Look for a “dramatic leadership” by Obama telling the libs to take “half-a-loaf” to “help” the american people ie individual mandates only – then a quick ping pong!

I dont trust the ultra libs at all when they say “Government Option or Nothing”

Nor do I trust Nelson, Liberman not to drop opposition once the government option charade is played out…

Lieberman is serving as the token “villian” to channel the lefts hate so he is the pretext for dropping the government option – ie the claim of NO CHOICE!

I hope I am wrong but its lining up all too strangely right now to what I predicted – at least its worth a “shout out” fax or email tonight to all these Senators to keep the heat on – tell them NO INDIVIDUAL MANDATE!

Nixon wonders if any of the liberals on RWN will condemn this purity test by the leftists, as they did on the so called purity test “demanded” by the conservative wing of the Republican Party? Probably not, as the left is chock full of f’n hypocrites.

Purity test? WTF?

You expect liberals to endorse an Ind. Sen. who sides with conservatives?

What’s your point?

Or, perhaps, that Lieberman is a conservative. And we don’t have to answer for him.

Despite your protests.

Lieberman is a conservative

Suuuuuuuure, that’s why Algore picked him to be his running mate.
