The cheapest way to healthcare reform is to pay off the Liebermans. Let's raise money for Joe

[blm]

and Hadassah......how much do you think they get from big insurance and how much do you think would be enough to get them to do the MORAL thing and support the right to affordable healthcare of other Americans who need help YESTERDAY?

1. I like it

Let's just find out what his price is and buy the son-of-a-bitch.

[tularetom]

6. His price is respect

His tender little ego is still smarting over the lack of support he got in his abortive 2004 presidential run ("Joementum") and being dumped by the Democratic party in the 2006 Senate primary. He has a major hard on for the Democrats and he's enjoying what he does too much to quit.

Call it revenge of the nerd. He's loving it.

[rhett o rick]

16. If his price is respect it is too high for me to pay. Damn him to hell. nt

[walldude]

19. Anyone who is willing to put people through this to boost their own ego

is beyond redemption. If he were a dog he'd have to be put down.

[blm]

7. Would HAVE to be more efficient (and ultimately cheaper) than running ads against the SOB. ;)

Not just Lieberman, but, ALL the other Dem asshats. Match and BETTER the going rate for Dem corporate shills.

It HAS to be cheaper and QUICKER than dragging bills like this out for months while they move the bill further to the right.

2. Let's have Jerry Lewis do a telethon!

n/t.

3. We could have one of those giant checks made for a photo op...

on the steps of the Capitol. Cool!

[Vinca]

4. It'll never work. He'll take the giant check, pose for the photo and then stab you in the back.

5. First Landrieu (just to begin debate!), then Lincoln, now Joe? Bribes to win this? That's mandate!

8. This might help answer your question.

9. Lieberman, if he pulls this off, will really go down in flames after the fact.

Everybody is hating him for what he's doing and frankly I'm worried that some not so stable person who has had bad things happen to him because of our health system might try to assassinate him.

[mitchum]

25. Well, all actions have consequences

[CTyankee]

Give him a Presidential medal (made of tin, but painted real nice)

and have everyone come to a big party and tell him how wonderful he is. Smile, nod, drink too much, go home, throw up.

What he wants is approval. He's got all the money he needs from the insurance industry.

[tridim]

11. Clad in .9999 (That's four nines) 24k gold!

But something tells me that Joe Lie only accepts solid gold, and cash from his corporate masters.

[CTyankee]

13. No, this is a grudge match. He hates us progressives. He was a rejected suitor.

he was disrespected by his party in CT. He's vain and he's hurt. That is weightier than all the gold in the world...and besides, he's got more than enough from his friends in the health insurance industry.

I hope this comes down on his head and his reputation BIG TIME. I hope he is covered in slime and shame...

[tridim]

10. What's the going rate for playing God?

[cali]

12. I don't think it's so much about money for Joe as it is about power.

[old mark]

14. He respects and covets money - if all the people in the US sent in money

maybe we could give some to the senators and representatives so that they would enact good laws to help the people of the USA.

Oh, wait - that's called taxation and their salaries, perks, benefits, and slush funds....and they aren't really doing shit for us anyway......

Lieberman is a fucking crook, just like the rest of them - just more openly sociopathic than some.

[JI7]

15. i disagree, it's about nothing but bitterness and revenge for Lieberman

[rhett o rick]

17. Well prey tell us what it is man. Dont leave us in suspenders. nt

[CTyankee]

22. Personal grudge against Liberals and progressives, that's all.

Uh, do you have something else on your mind???

[rhett o rick]

26. So are you saying this about J17? nt

[CTyankee]

28. J17??? What is that? nt

[rhett o rick]

31. JI7 is who i was responding to. I didnt understand your response to me. nt

[CTyankee]

34. Sorry, but it was a query about what else it could be but a personal grudge.

Inartfully put, I know...

[rhett o rick]

18. sorry but you cant negotiate with terrorists. nt

[bridgit]

20. ding!

[blm]

30. Bushes do and have for decades and THAT is why the world is in such peril today.

[rhett o rick]

32. I agree. need to reword my response. nt

[Gregorian]

21. Haha. I love it.

And it gives me an excuse to post this photoshop I thought I'd lost.

[bleever]

23. Since we've established what he is, it's just a matter of setting the price now.

:thumbsup:

[notadmblnd]

24. who is gonna make the call and find out how much it going to take?

[EFerrari]

[blm]

[EFerrari]
