I guess we'll have to add an amendment to invade Iran to get Lieberman's support for HCR.

Because, you know, people are dying of cancer and it's SO important that we get something passed now.

1. It is absolutely disgusting. And, politically stupid

I am furious.

2. Can't we just strap him to a chair and beat him with hammers?

3. Tonight Lieberman told Mike Wallace that if the Public Option is in

the final HCR Bill, he will personally block it.

Not surprising. More than once I have heard Lieberman
refer to Safety Net as those of New Deal Programs. In other
words denouncing them. Secondly, like some others he is in
the pocket of Insurance Companies.

Count on him to block anything with a Public Option.

5. Count on the Dems to pander to him and the GOP anyway. eom

4. I think threatening to take his chairmanship, and then doing it would be

much more effective.

6. Fuck it. Do it now.

Make him beg on his knees to get it back AFTER HCR is done, or he can simply caucus with the GOPhers which he effectively does anyway.
