Ok disclaimer first. I feel completely demoralized. I feel sold out in every way. I remember when Joe told us all that he was better positioned to deliver on Health Care than Ned Lamont. I see him now insisting that the Medicare buy in that he pushed in September be scrapped.
After reading the depressing news for the past two days, I had to take a look at Joe's website just to see how he is spinning this sucker punch to the nads that he is giving the country and progressives in particular.
Get ready to be sick:
Americans today are faced with increasing uncertainty when it comes to their health, be it from the rising medical costs, health challenges that often accompany old age, fiscal challenges facing our Medicare and Medicaid programs, or threats of natural and man-made diseases. In the 110th Congress, Senator Lieberman continues to work on behalf of Connecticut to address these vital issues facing America. He is fighting for affordable health care for all, especially for America's most vulnerable - the poor, elderly, children and their families. He continues to support biomedical research so that new treatments for debilitating diseases can be discovered, and he is working to improve the quality of care all Americans receive.
That is what he has the nerve to post on his website. Do you believe that? Fighting for affordable health care for all by gutting the very provisions in the bill that would insure it. Sweet Jesus. When for God's sake will Joementum reach absolute zero?
