It has been put forward, I'm convinced, by people who really want the government to take over all of health insurance. ...

Joe Lieberman Vows to Block Vote on Public Option

... not allow this bill to come to a final vote because I believe debt can break America and send us into a recession..." - Joe Lieberman It's one thing for Lieberman to vote "no." It's another to support a Republican fillibuster that prevents health care reform from even coming to a vote, all because Joe Lieberman doesn't like one aspect of it. That's where Lieberman crosses the line from "guy I respectfully disagree with" to "pathetic, self-aggrandizing jackass." h/t: Think Progress ...

... in stone as soon as it passed. Realigning their issue set to stay relevant could be quite awkward since Democrats already claimed most of the issues that Americans don’t hate.

Lieberman will filibuster health-care reform "as a matter of conscience"
Ezra Klein —
Joe Lieberman went on Fox News last weekend to give viewers some insight into his thinking on health-care reform.
LIEBERMAN: A public option plan is unnecessary. It has been put forward, I’m convinced, by people who really want the government to take over all of health insurance. They’ve got a right to do that; I think that would be wrong.
But worse than that, we have a problem even greater than the health insurance problems, and that is a debt -- $12 trillion today, projected to be $21 trillion in 10 years.
