OMG : another Lieberman outrage

[indictrichardperle]

(speaking on C-Span, moderator Bill Press) Holy Joe proclaimed in response to the large number of uninsured Americans "The era of big government is over"...and .........."for the un-employed poor i am all for giving them a chance to buy into medicaid"

Did you catch that last part folks? Hed give the unemployed poor "a chance to buy into" medicaid. :grr:

[orangecoloredapple]

1. I don't know how privileged his life has been

but he doesn't understand basic economics if he'll allow people who are broke to buy into health care.

If only I had been born so far away from the real world, and didn't have to concern myself with worrying about getting by.

Who elected this fool to the Senate in the first place?

[DrBB]

5. "Who elected this fool to the Senate in the first place?"

The insurance companies, the high-end finance and accounting firms.

--Oh, you mean which voters?

Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[bodhisattava]

15. Coming from CT his whole life has been one

of shilling for the insurance companies

[wtmusic]

2. Methinks he indeed wants his ass kicked n/t

[cthrumatrix]

3. why pay attention to this fool.....

he's bought and paid for...nothing but a mouthpiece for corporations

[WillyT]

4. He Has Not A Clue !!!

Hey Joe, get your head out of your banking\insurance industry sphincter!!!

The LAST thing an unemployed poor person is gonna spend money on, is a health plan. It's cheaper to buy and administer your own anesthesia, ya know???

What an idiot!!!

:grr::mad::puke:

[Wonder]

9. not a clue

but at least he is clearer to read than some of the others... No reading between the lines necessary.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

6. Fuck that guy

No, really, fuck him.

[DemLikr]

12. Um...how about YOU fuck him, Thorstein.

the thought of porkin' ol' holy joe sort of grosses me out. He's all yours.
:puke:

[burr]

16. Why bother, he does it to himself everytime he opens his mouth?

:shrug:

[donco6]

7. Why doesn't he just officially change designations.

At least he'd be more honest calling himself a Republican.

[JanMichael]

8. Do the outrages never cease with these people?!

No. They don't.

We either stop them or roll over to their dictates.

My choice is to stop them in their tracks.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. He must be channelling Marie Antoinette

"Let them buy healthcare". Splendid idea. Can't afford the bus? Buy a car. Can't afford rent? Buy a house. Won't let you into the country club? Start one of your own.

Such insightful thinking deserves to be enshrined in the Republican Hall of Fame right up there with, "Ketchup is a vegetable." and, "Compassionate Conservatism".

[LondonReign2]

22. And "Trees Cause Pollution"

n/t

[liberalhistorian]

11. Is he really that clueless and heartless?

Does he have ANY idea at all the stupidity of what he said? Does he have ANY idea at all what it's like not to have access to and/or money to pay for even basic health care? But of course not, he's a senator, which means he has the best health plan in the country that he doesn't have to pay a dime for, so the hell with everyone else!

[Nobody]

13. Mark Dayton had the right idea

A few weeks ago, Mark Dayton proposed that health care coverage for citizens should equal the health care coverage for senators.

A lot of senators were outraged that Mark Dayton was talking about cutting their bennies. No. He was talking about increasing the bennies for everyone else.

What is it about some people that they can't stand the idea that everyone have the basics. And health care coverage is a basic.

[northernsoul]

27. he called it the "Taste of Our Own Medicine" plan

that Dayton is one fine human being! Too bad he's possibly one of the worst public speakers to hold a senate seat, I'm afraid that's going to be a liability for him.

[salin]

14. um you guys are just being unfair

if this was a different democrat offering all these very non-democratic approaches to solve problems, you wouldn't be so hard on him. {\Sarcasm}

[jos]

17. But how different is he from Clinton?

After all, it was Clinton who declared that the era of "big government" was over at his second inagural.

[opihimoimoi]

18. Where is the Dem Filter??? Why is this guy still around ??

Toast, he is toast.

[indigo32]

21. I suppose he's not

in that sense. Though Clinton was far more charismatic. That still doesn't make it acceptable to me, if can have any say about it at all, and luckily the elections aren't over.

[Loonman]

19. Well that's mighty nice of him

Get out of town, Joe, nobody cares about what you have to say.

[dusty64]

20. I wish joe would

just go away. I guess we should let him piss away his corporate dollars cause his campaign is not going anywhere, but I wish someone would stuff a sock in his mouth. On the bright side he is making a lot of other candidates look pretty good. Does anyone think after he drops out he will support the nominee or we he run around undercutting them at every turn?

[Snellius]

23. Is Joe Lieberman a Republican mole?

After blowing the election debate with Cheney (that's the guy who Joe, without a word, let get away with "My company has never gotten any government help.") and especially, that fateful Sunday morning on Russert's show, after conceding the illegal overseas ballots in Florida to Bush, there is every reason to believe that, if Joe Lieberman is not in the direct pay of the RNC, he is doing everything in his power to insure its success.

[TahitiNut]

24. Lieberman plays for the Washington Gonorrheals.

His mission seems to be to make the Bushoilini Globesquatters look "good" by taking a dive.

[northernsoul]

28. I've ben suspicious of the same for quite a while now

And of course, the corollary question now is: If Joe gets the Democratic nomination should we consider the fix to officially be in and the 2004 elections a complete farce?

[nn2004]

25. Meanwhile, if nominated, everyone here would pull his lever

Am I mistaken?

[jos]

29. Yes you are

Big time:

26. Why does the DLC love this Repug in Dem clothes

<\dumbass question>
