The Democratic aide said staffers have tried to keep Carper’s alternative quiet due to concerns that publicity could draw attacks from liberal activists, which could complicate efforts to line up support from the full Democratic caucus

Where in the heck do they do these polls??? Every person that I ask if they support this Health Care bill say “No Way!” – so please tell me where they are finding these American people who want this HC bill?? Are the you even LISTENING to your employers….the American People?? The Democrats are only out for themselves! They think that they are the only ones who know what is good for the citizens of this great country & they are determined to destroy our country anyway they can. We have got a bunch of holier than thou people in the Senate & House & it is time the people of this country let them know who they represent & who really cares about what they are doing, WE THE PEOPLE!! Our forefathers are spinning in their graves! This is NOT THE AMERICA that they died for! Shame on you horrible, “me-me” Senators/House. come November next year, I hope you are all without a job….but then again, you have been able to screw over the American People & will get your benefits to keep screwing them over for the rest of your lives…..You have got to be so proud…NOT!!!

So now we have learned that Obama is BUYING the Senate votes!! Look at Sen. Mary Landrieu who is holding her vote to get for aid for Louisiana!! WHAT!? You are now BUYING votes? I hope she looses her seat! So this is the only way Obama is going to get this horrible bill that will ruin our country passed, by threatening & buying votes…..I hope the citizens of this country are watching their representatives & kick them out next election! We have got a bunch of fruitcakes back there & they are destroying this great country with their stupidity!

We all think there needs to be some kind of health care reform, but this is NOT it. If this were REALLY about helping health care, why wouldn’t they try small steps on the most obvious problems that everyone agrees on, like tort reform so mal-practice insurance isn’t so high,and allowing insurance across state lines. Regulating insurance companies that if someone has paid premiums for a period of time, they can’t drop you. They could make changes that will not cost Trillions or make Govt. in control of our lives. Americans need to let Congress know they need to start over with REAL reform, not some government control plan disguised as health care.

One hundred and twenty-three (123) Legal American Citizens ARE DYING DAILY, AND WILL BE DYING each day because they DON’T HAVE Health Care Insurance. (And it’s NOT that they Don’t Want Health Care Insurance, either…)
Opponents of Health Care Reform in America are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!!!

Lieberman may be the only person in DC that realizes that adding to the debt for healthcare is unsustainable as the debt of the federal government has increased by $7 Trillion dollars in the past 10 years. To continue adding to the debt for these ideas which sound good is irresponsible financial policy which has to stop before the entire amount of revenue collected by the federal government does nothing but pay the interest on the money they have borrowed over the past 75+ years

Lieberman has made it so far. The Senate Dems seem to accept his direction.
It’s kow-towing to a narrow-minded, too long serving politician who has lost adhesion to his party. If Pelosi joins him she is discarding any public option or ‘half-option’ for young seniors. Instead, she would support a totally private option with a lot of fine print, vast restrictions, higher premiums and best of all subsidizing a flawed
insurance industry that is only interested in share holder value, and high bonuses for
the egg-heads who give a damn for ‘poor custumers’ they don’t really want.
Howard Dean ultimately made this clear. A bill without an public option is a package with no real
value – ‘a real collapse of health care reform (…)’.
But, Obama will sigh any bill that comes in final version on his, else his overall rating would slump from C- to F with his own people.
The left-wing Dems in the House should fight against Lieberman.
Give Joe a fare-well ‘kiss’ and tell him he should retire. A insurrance-orientated dinosaur ought to enjoy the rest of his remaining life at home
in front of his TV.

Obama is just wanting something passed, anything so he can say I DID IT! He is that arrogant and self-absorbed. I really don’t like to pay for something I won’t get for 3-4 years! Instead of working on with thoughtfull consideration it’s rush rush through it. I hope he doesn’t give the o.k. again to pay off someone with another 300 million like he did with Mary Landrieu of Louisiana so they will vote. He has spent enough of our tax money. New figures on the news yesterday- For every Trillion borrowed it will cost US one BILLION A WEEK in interest! House just approved 447 Billion in Ominibus spending bill that includes 2.2 million for a failing golf course in San Fran. 54 Million Calif. wine train and on and on. Now millions will be spent on terrorist being brought here. Can we count that far? Gee, I think we need to change our votes in 2010 and 2012!

Sen Lieberman is on the wrong side of history and is determined to keep the U.S. a third world country where health and medical are concerned. I know people who suffered for years until medicare kicked in so they could get treatment for something. They often had additional problems by the time they went to the doctor. At first I expect that costs will be higher but as the country as a whole becomes healthier by actually getting treatment when they’re sick, costs should drop. There will be a lot of politicians looking for jobs if health care reform fails.
