I got Jane Hampshire's message this morning asking me to pressure Reid to cough up the name of the "Democrat" threatening to filibuster. Well, in my weekly perusing of right wing blogs I found this post over at Hot Air. Lieberman doesn't like the Baucus bill because it's too radical and will increase costs in premiums.
Still, if Lieberman votes against cloture and Olympia Snowe balks, the Senate effort will die a quick death. And that assumes the Democrats have all of their caucus on board for a plan without any legislative language, which is a risky assumption indeed.
The youtube video is below the fold.
Lieberman told all to Don Imus, and it's on video.
All the focus has been on Baucus, Nelson, etc. Lieberman has slid under the radar.
So much for the claim that he's with us on everything except the war. At least he's "quote popular with the gays." He may be the point man on eliminating "don't ask don't tell" and figure he's doing us such favors there he can screw us with health care.
Apparently he's not popular with ninjas.
