Lieberman: A Spoiled Brat?

When Joey Lieberman was running for the Senate in 2006 against Ned Lamont, he said: "I can do more to make health care affordable and to get universal health care insurance than Ned Lamont." But in fact, we have learned, he doesn't want health care reform or universal health care insurance. Apparently, since he was campaigning in 2006, his handlers, the large insurance companies, have told him not to go there. And Joey has been doing everything he can to prevent a "public option."

In an effort to prevent the "public option" which would have been competition for his insurance buddies, Joey suggested a Medicare buy-in for people over the age of 55. Now that the Democrats are seriously considering such a proposal, he now announces that he will join a Republican filibuster of the health-care bill--albeit, he was the one who suggested it as an alternative to the public option.

Such a flip-flop in a few months time indicates a total lack of integrity. Obviously, he threw out the "Medicare buy-in" as a diversionary tactic, and now is revealing what he is all about--being a puppet of the insurance industry. Or is it that Joey just likes being the center of attention, and he wants the Democrats to kiss his posterior? In other words, he is acting like a spoiled brat.

Like all spoiled brats, he should be spanked and sent to his room without dinner!
