Joe Lieberman promised Connecticut voters in 2006 that he would support core Democratic issues like health care reform ... This tongue-in-cheek ad holds Lieberman accountable for putting his own ego ahead of the overwhelming will of Connecticut voters who demand a public health insurance option.
The movement for climate change legislation in the United States Senate is alive and well
It’s like two quarter-pound stools of alien space shit crashed into a toxic-waste dumpster in Stamford, Connecticut, fucked, and out came their mutilated, blood-soaked carcass of a baby rat-child, Senator Joseph Lieberman.
My own conclusion, based on the deliberations and conversations we've had, is that there are well over 60 votes in the U.S. Senate that are in play ... We don't have 60 votes, but there are well over 60 members of the United States Senate who I think would like to get to the point where they can say yes...
So this is really tough. I didn't anticipate being in this position. I thought it would pass. Maybe Harry has some magic up his sleeve. But I don't see how he gets those four votes [Sens. Joseph Lieberman (Conn.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Blanche Lincoln (Ark.) and Ben Nelson (Neb.)] without compromising th...
My own conclusion, based on the deliberations and conversations we've had, is that there are well over 60 votes in the U.S. Senate that are in play ...

We need competition. We need choices. We have to put some honesty back into the insurance market ... I hope we can move to a point where we satisfy Joe Lieberman's concerns that this does not end up being a government debt, but ends up being a government solution.
It has been reported that Headley changed his name... His original name was Daood Gilani and he changed it to David Headley, allegedly to reduce scrutiny by Immigration and Customs officials while traveling
Even Joe Lieberman came around, as those familiar with how much the Connecticut Independent-Democrat relies on Reid to maintain his perch in the Senate pecking order knew he would.
I don't know if that's a question without an answer, but I just give it to you because I remember that as a practical fear, based on the presence of all the training camps and centers of world terrorism in the Pakistan/ Afghanistan area
A clutch of Senate liberals pressed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to stand firm behind a public insurance option Monday afternoon in the face of filibuster threats from Republicans and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.)
It is my understanding that at this point there is no legislative language, so I look forward to analyzing the details of the plan and reviewing analysis from the Congressional Budget Office and the Office of the Actuary in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
filibuster-busting reconciliation rules to bypass opposition from Sen. Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) and all 40 Republicans to a Democratic health care reform bill.

Slated to attend are former US president Bill Clinton, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg and Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham – the highest-level US delegation ever to attend the conference
Generally speaking, if you feel that a war is worth fighting...then you've got to be willing to pay for it ... I wouldn't hold it up because of a failure to pay for it, but, to me, we have to be open to adopting some kind of taxes to pay for the additional expenditures for the effort the president annou...
Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman says while he's 'strongly inclined' to vote to move Sen. Harry Reid's health care plan to the Senate floor for debate, he would ultimately oppose the measure because it includes a public option ... he's worried a public option would be costly to taxpayers and drive up i...
In making this decision, President Obama has respectfully disagreed with the majority of the members of his own political party
Sen.] Joe Lieberman is speaking up ... He is not going to accept a government option.
It's the strategy that worked in Iraq
The House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate ... Just look at how it passed. It passed 220 to 215. It passed by two votes. You had 39 Democrats vote against the bill. They come from red states, moderate Democrats from swing districts. They bailed out on this bill. It was bill written by liberals for ...
There is no reason that health insurers should be exempt from our federal antitrust laws ... Anti-competitive conduct that reduces consumer choice and drives up prices is harmful to consumers and should be subject to the full range of federal remedies to end such practices. I am pleased to cosponsor thi...

How do you reconcile your contention that the public option wasn't part of the presidential campaign given that all three of the [leading Democratic] candidates had something along the lines of the public option in their white papers?' Not really, not from what I've seen. There was a little -- there was...
