I have begun to suspect that Joe is a double-agent of some sort. A not-so-deep mole for the Republicans. It's possible I am just being paranoid, but how else to explain his change of heart on a subject he lobbied FOR only a couple of short months ago. He actually proposed the early Medicare buy-in he just dashed against a brick wall. That's real statesmanship. Or early onset dementia. (Lucky he has a good health plan)
So now the die has been cast, the cat thrown amongst the pigeons, and (another) cat let out of the bag, can we uncast the die, rebag the cat, and save the pigeons? I don't believe so.
Any health 'reform' plan that mandates everyone have health care coverage, but denies millions the ability to actually afford that coverage, is not only next to useless, is not only useless, it's decidedly un-useful - damaging even.
Sorry to say it - because President Obama has worked hard to get us all some 'hope', through constructive 'change'. Too bad not all the kids want to play, some just threaten to take their toys and go home if they don't get their way.
So Senator Lieberman gets his way and health reform loses its way.
Let's hope the voters remember this next time he runs for anything.
And just tell him, 'No Go Joe!'

Already did, in my own crude way.
Came home from work the other morning and faxed Joe's office a simple black magic marker drawing of my hand in the middle-finger salute pose. Also included a cheery "Thanks!" and a smiley face just so the intern would put it on the message-from-friends pile.
I'm glad to hear you expressed your opinion - as we all should.
If I had some of the money I lost in the meltdown back, I'd buy a full page add in the New York Times and run your faxed message to Joe.
