It is time to kick Joe Lieberman out of the Democratic Caucus AND strip him of his Chairmanships.
This is my first diary I have ever written on Daily Kos, I am what an experienced blogger would call a lurker. However, the news that Joe Lieberman will join Republicans to filibuster a Health Care reform bill is the FINAL nail in the coffin for me.
Especially considering his illogical rationale
"I can’t see a way in which I could vote for cloture on any bill that contained a creation of a government-operated-run insurance company," Lieberman added. "It’s just asking for trouble – in the end, the taxpayers are going to pay and probably all people will have health insurance are going to see their premiums go up because there’s going to be cost shifting as there has been for Medicare and Medicaid."
Is he serious? tax payer funded? PREMIUMS WILL PAY FOR THE PUBLIC OPTION, just like the HMOs that Lieberman obviously loves so much operate.
Barack Obama was willing to forgive. Thus, I was willing to forgive. I figured Lieberman would shut up and just vote how Obama told him to and then he would retire in 2012 with some dignity. But NO, he is just too egotistical. I want him to run again in 2012 because this time HE GOES DOWN. He will pay for this.
Harry Reid, PLEASE have the backbone to kick this pathetic excuse for a Senator OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. I would rather have 59 votes then have to cater to Joe Lieberman's needs any more.
