I wonder what the people in Connecticut think of their Senator and I wonder if he even cares.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

There's tons of video evidence that Lieberman himself has supported healthcare reform, expansion of Medicare, etc. in the past.Now he doesn't when it counts. What does he stand for? Does he expect to be re-elected or does he already have alternate plan B?

I opined previously that his grandstanding against healthcare was a showpiece designed to get him removed from his committeeship and then with great fanfare he would crossover and become a Republican. I still think that my prediction is a possibility.

1. He clearly doesn't care. No doubt about it.

[Ken Burch]

2. Joe thinks 2006 means he's now forever ABOVE the people

n/t.

3. Considering 60+% of people in CT were for the public option

(stat I heard yesterday on Ed), the majority can't be too impressed, and joe obviously doesn't care.

4. Keep in mind that Hartford is chock-ass full of insurance companies

and you'll see Joementum's strategy. He's looking out for Connecticut's number one industry, they don't make anywhere near that much money selling anything else to the rest of the country.

6. Who does LIEberman care about?

The insurance CEO's who line his pockets with lobby $$$.

The rest can go fuck themselves as far as LIEberman cares.

7. His constituents are Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth and BC/BS.

They're quite pleased.

8. Lieberman's wife is an insurance company lobbyist.

The industry quite literally has his scrotum in a twitch. And that's exactly what he likes.

[Atman]

9. Unfortunately, our state's economy is based upon pharma, insurance and submarines

War, drugs and insurance. That's it. Joe is looking out for the big industries paying his bills, because the people of Connecticut have already rejected him.

10. The nation of Israel that Lieberman is such a strong supporter of has...

you guessed it! SINGLE PAYER COVERAGE!
