I called (860) 549-8463 to leave a message with the guy answering Sen. Lieberman's Phone.....
He told me that Sen. Lieberman will vote for Cloture, and will allow the bill to go to the floor.

I told him that I Pray that Sen. Lieberman will allow Americans to have an Option as to which Health Insurance they use, including a public option, and that the use of tax funds should be a non issue for him since he didn't seem to care at all about Taxpayer funds going to fund illegal wars and bank bailouts....and so there isn't any rational reason for him to care so much about taxpayer funds expended for the benefit of everyday Americans' healthcare.

Please call......cause that office needs to hear from us! :patriot:

1. Cloture to get debate
But not cloture for an up or down vote.

Holy Joe is playing a game in order to get soemthing for Holy Joe.

2. what say you now, trumpeteers of disinformation?
Lieberman is not going to block this Bill.

But some folks sure do want to convince us that he is.
Why?

Because we are moving forward on this, and their only hope to stop us is to throw us into disarray and squabbling.

They will Fail.

5. you are pissed for nothing.
if he votes for cloture the first time, he will do it again.

you are playing right along with the garbage that spews forth from the Chuck Todds of the World.

when it proves to be totally inaccurate, don't say I didn't warn you.

6. There's a direct quote
Edited on Tue Oct-27-09 02:40 PM by SpartanDem
But I also told him that if the bill remains what it is now, I will not be able to support a cloture motion before final passage. Therefore I will try to stop the passage of the bill."

and given Joe's track record of being a dick I wouldn't be so sure about that second cloture vote

8. I guess you can throw a tantrum today based on speculation,
or you can wait and see what really happens after the bill goes to the floor.

9. There's no speculation he said it.
Now this may be a ploy for attention, but why take that chance? Why shouldn't we let Joe know how feel if he is serious.
