1. That just makes me sick
Of course Lieberman is a DINO. But it's like the Dems are doing nothing but protecting their own political ass. Forget the people who put them in office.

Does ANYBODY care about chipping away our constitutional rights? Apparently not Dems like these. Off with their heads!

2. Aren't a lot of the big insurance
companies based in Hartford? I bet that has something to do with it. They are ALL FOR tort reform...just like finance companies are all for bankruptcy reform. Money talks....;)
