Senator Lieberman, Shill for the Insurance Companies, Vows Filibuster Over Public Option in Healthcare Reform
Joe Lieberman, Senator from Connecticut, where many health insurance companies have their headquarters, favors the insurance companies more than the well being of Americans. He puts Americans' health and financial stability at risk in his quest to fight for the health insurance companies.
People first Senator Lieberman, that is a lesson you need to learn. Putting the profits of insurance companies before the health of Americans is a horrible mistake. The people of Connecticut are speaking out against your intended filibuster of the public option in healthcare reform.
Lieberman Threatens Filibuster over Public Option
Senator Lieberman has said "he'll vote to filibuster a bill that contains any form of the public option" according to Salon. Lieberman has alienated the country with his favoritism to the insurance companies and his lack of concerns for Americans trying to ensure they have equal access to healthcare and insurance.
Yale Students Oppose Joe Lieberman's Stand Against Public Option
The New Haven Register reports that 650 Yale students and 15 student groups at Yale have signed a petition to oppose Joe Lieberman's threat to filibuster healthcare reform if the public option is included. This petition was started by Yale Law school students.
The students at Yale reminded Lieberman "of his 2006 support for universal healthcare and a poll from the liberal website Daily Kos that says that 68 percent of likely Connecticut voters support a public option" according to the New Haven Register.
Candlelight Vigil at Lieberman's Condo
The Interfaith Fellowship for Universal Health Care held a candelight vigil outside of Senator Lieberman's condo according to the Huffington Post. Lieberman has refused to meet with this group, so they brought the discussion to his doorstep.

Gotta lover Lieberman.
The Dems have the presidency and control both houses of congress and they still can't force socialized medicine down our throats.
There will be no Obamacare. There will be no progressive revolution.
Deal with it moonbats!
Tony you are well aware that AC loses comments and entire articles. The other article published last nigh just reappeared after 10 hours.

Lieberman is doing the right thing. The majority of America doesn't want this Government run crap. I love that he is sticking to his guns on this. Blanch Lincoln also came out after the vote and said she will also filibuster with the GOP if this socialized, rationed, Gov't run crap is in the final bill. Bottom line, there will be "NO" public option. Thank God for that!!!! :-))))
Lots of drug companies have their head quarters in CT also.
Not Suprised

I'm not surprised at all at Senator Lieberman's latest anti-american stance. He's been a shill for the conservative movement since he voted for the War in Iraq and Connecticut democrats called him on it and voted against him in the primary and in the election. It's time the good people of Connecticut toss this power hungry charlatan out of office. Impeach Lieberman!!
Ha..you deleted my comment and three others w/opposing points of view. if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. You had the spine to demean my page views and opinions on my article but you don't have the stomach to receive...typical of your crowd.
Joe Lieberman - two words that get me riled, for sure!
Good reporting Julia! Now it's time to get riled!
