He's an oncologist who knows health care. We'll take him. You guys can keep the hard-left freaks, the guiltaholics, the union goons, and the terminally unsuccessful. Merry Christmas!

Isn't Lieberman thinking about running a as Republican during the next election too? I know he's an independent and opposes the Health Care Bill, but he sits with the Democratic Caucus and voted for the Stimulus plan correct?

Lieberman can run on the Lieberman Party ticket, for all I care. He voted for the health care bill and was bought off like all the other "moderate" Donk/"independent" Senators. What a pious fraud! :evil:

Ah, I thought I'd read somewhere recently that he'd changed his stance on the health care bill. Nothing new for him though right? :lol:

You are correct, sir. He was against the bill before he was for it! Cue John Kerry... :coffee:
