Lieberman Willing To Sink Health Care Reform... But He Would Really Hate To Do It (AUDIO)
Commented Oct 28, 2009 at 07:48:00 in Politics
“.
In all of the time that I have been aware of LIEberman, I have not been a fan of his. I don't understand why voters in his state are fond of him. This action on his part is revenge stuff. Shortly after the election (maybe just before?), he and Obama had a "tiff" to resolve. When LIEberman attempted to shake hands with Obama on the Senate floor, Obama held on and backed LIEberman up against a wall and leaned into him while talking to him. The event was reported by MSM but we don't know what was said. LIEberman has lain in wait ever since and is now exacting his revenge.
The Dems need to high profile the actions of repub and fellow dem senators who have used parliamentary procedure to slow track unemployment extension as well as healthcare. The Dems aren't unified but the repub commonality hurting them is how the repubs are exerting their power. They are a minority party that is getting away with so much.

“Nope. Missed it by a country mile. Fact is, Lieberman and Obama are acting in concert. Lieberman is running interference for Obama. He's the President's man, now, assigned to defeat make sure any legislation passed is without a legitimate public option for the people.
In truth, this President has done just about everything he could safely get away with to prevent legislation with a PO. He certainly hasn't fought for it, as we thought he would. Since the election, he's paid no more than lip service to getting a PO for the people and, at least recently, he's worked against it. Instead, he's made private deals with the inscos and big pharma, and he's doing what he can to sink any real opportunity for the PO. Lieberman is working for the Prez..BOTH are in bed with big business.
Obama had to resort to this when it became clear that his absurd insistence on bipartisanship ( the Snowe vote) has been derailed by Reid's new found interest in doing right by the people. As long as Obama was insisting on getting Snowe's vote, the PO had to be out. Reid's amazing show of political courage foiled Obama's use of the Snowe vote to prevent the PO, so Obama had to come up with someting else. Presto, Joe suddenly materializes as the latest threat to the PO, pulling Obama's big business bacon out of the fire.
Think about it, from campaign to now. It's Obama, folks.”

When it's dark, turn on the lights in your house with the curtains open and the blinds up/down. Walk across the street and take a look at how much of your house you can easily view under those circumstances. Cross the street and stand on the sidewalk (if applicable) to take a closer look.

Sooo, the volunteerism efforts from JFK's time until now are all about Marxism? Cleaning up our shores, building houses, feeding the homeless, cleaning schools, generally, giving of oneself to our communities is all about Marxism? Volunteerism is only good if it fronted by religious entities?

When religious practitioners from all religions get out of control, who stops them? GOD is not the problem. Religious practices are the problem. Women and children throughout religious history have borne the brunt of scape-goatism.
I speak to Christianity in this instance because it's the majority religion in the US. I recently read an article about a pastor who is burning all versions of the bible except the King James version. This particular religious practitioner does not seem to understand that all versions of the bible are based on religious content that already existed.
In the US, there are people desperate to prove that the US was founded by Christians who become livid when it is proven that many founding fathers are/were Deists who had belief in GOD with no reliance on religion or religious practices. There are Christian recontructionists who would have theocratic govenment with the Ten Commandments as the only law. Women and children burned or stoned as witches would become major entertainment in that world.
Be upset about religious pratitioners world-wide while keeping an eye on those in our country.

“The ridiculous, unfounded, unsupportable belief in gods, goddesses, easter bunnies, santa clause, and similar non-sense is the problem. Once someone has taken the step into believing the irrational, illogical, myths then they have opened themselves up for anything from the bizarre world of the mormon cult to the demon filled world of the evangelicals to the multi-god world of the hindus. Teach your children to think rationally and logically, to use their intellectual abilities. They don't need the myths to know reality, for reality is all there is to know.”
