Lieberman to Fillibuster Healthcare Bill

[Pooky 3,939]

Well there's always the reconciliation process! Threaten Joe with reconciliation which needs only 51 votes. Holy Joe can't filibuster that!

And there speaks an n00b who hasn't been paying the blindest bit of attention.

To get to Reconciliation, you need the 60 votes for cloture, which is why Joe thinks he's a big cheese here. Without him, Dingy Harry doesn't get his 60 votes and "healthcare reform" dies in the Senate.

Another Epic n00b Fail.

He [Joe Liebermann] cares what his electorate thinks...

This holds true only if you confuse those who fund him with his electorate. The support for a public option competing with private insurers is quite robust in the state of Connecticut - 68% to 21% in favor. If Joe cared about what his electorate thinks, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Ahh you're just angry that the Socialist option isn't going to happen.

No, Joe. I just point out that the claim that JL cares what his electorate thinks is bull. And that public option isn't as dead as you might wish.

I told you this before: Totgesagte leben laenger.
