PREDICTION: They Give Lieberman EVERYTHING He Wants

[WeDidIt]

and when the vote for cloture comes up, he'll STILL FILIBUSTER!

You heard it here first.

[TwilightGardener]

1. Yep. Why should the little prick stop acting like a douche now? It's working.

[Ineeda]

3. But the little prick will be so despised at the end of this

he won't be electable ever again (I hope.)

[Faryn Balyncd]

2. Actually, now that he's gotten his way, a successful filibuster is perhaps the best we can hope for

[dflprincess]

11. I'd agree with that

We're better off with no bill than this scam. The current system can't last that much longer without massive infusions of tax money and our forced premiums so I say leave it alone and let the whole thing collapse. Then maybe Congress will have to step in and extend Medicare to all.

4. They should not give him anything until 1 )he reads the bill and 2) he reads off a list

of every single lobbyist, insurance company, foundation, hospital, doctor pharma that he receives money from.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Sounds like a plan

[bridgit]

6. I say hand Lieberman 80% of what he doesn't want then check *his* temp & pulse

[HughMoran]

7. We need to bring back the dual

Something is wrong with our government when one pouty twit can kill people due to lack of healthcare.

[varelse]

8. If he does at that point, would this be a bad thing? (nt)

[Unvanguard]

9. Quite possible. They ought to eject him and negotiate with Snowe for the sixtieth vote.

He is not to be trusted, his terms are not likely to be more favorable than hers, and they can always call it "bipartisan" then...

Edit: Presuming they can't/won't just get rid of the filibuster.

[NorthCarolina]

10. AND...he won't lose his chairmanship either (nt)

[branders seine]

12. there's less here than meets the eye.

THIS IS KABUKI.

The fix was in two years ago.
