Lieberman and every other ‘defector’ is a sign of failed Democrat leadership. 8 months into this debate, does anyone really know where the President stands? Is there a line Obama won’t cross? It doesn’t appear so, and that has allowed everyone to make their own demands.

This is where the Democrats truly lack leadership. A true leader would have made allowances for the pro-lifers, for the budget hawks, and those against the public option, and moved forward. Obama could have convinced progressives to take a little less if he campaigned for it, but seems unwilling to do so.

This is an epic failure by the Democratic leadership…and I have to admit, fun to watch.

Thanks to Joe Lieberman for his stand on this. We’ll take our allies where we can find them..

The anger of the Dems at Joe is what you get when your party has no moral compass other than that of self-gratification at all cost.

You can’t call this hypocrisy, it’s far beyond that. Of course the Dems and their enablers the media contradict themselves, of course they continually show there is nothing they can’t reverse themselves on.
But that’s not hypocrisy, not to that extent & not that often.

It’s a severe emotional condition, one that precludes a normal human consistency and at least a minimal principled foundation.
Rooted in the atavistic desire to dominate, control, and injure. it is the pure hatred of the fixated, whose life is the politics of degenerate power and unconscious aggression.

There’s no doubt there & no self examination. They’re perfect, just ask them.

Oh, please Joe Lieberman darling of Independents? The man is a pure an unadulterated politician with mostly liberal Democrat leanings.

He only won that seat again on name recognition and voters disgust with the way Democrats treated him for supporting the troops. Plus the money Republicans threw into his coffers. Does that look like money well spent now? Not so much.

This bill is not popular in Connecticut so what would possibly compel Joe to vote for it? I am waiting? Oh it’s fiscally responsible- please.

Joe is voting to save his skin with the party- nothing else. There was always an asking price, he just didn’t think Democrats would go there. Looks like Harry called his bluff.

Makes you wonder if there is something called an IINO?

are trying to get his wife fired from her job. That is “classy”. He won’t toe the line, so attack his wife. These people are unbelievable.

I used to be the youngest and often only Republican at political meetings in Texas. Now I am the oldest and we are all basically conservative, which the rest of the party seems to no longer be. Joe is/was the way our old Dims used to be, honest if misguided. We brought a lot of them around but I guess his pal McCain couldn’t do that because John ain.t Zactly conservative himself. My disgusting conclusion, I’d rather break bread with Joe and Hadassa than a bunch of our chosen candidates but he could still use a spine transplant.
