The Democratic Party has a problem in their efforts to pass Health Care Reform (H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act). After the House passed its version of the health care reform bill late in the evening on November 7th, there was a great deal of celebration being done. The Democratic leadership was able to push the bill through on a vote of 220 – 215.
Minnesota’s 6th
Michele Bachmann (R-MN) voted against the bill that would provide affordable health care to millions more Americans. The representative of Minnesota’s 6th District has made clear her opposition to Health Care Reform appearing on many Fox News programs to push opposition to reform. Many Minnesotans have begun to question whether she is the right Representation for them.
Traitor Joe
Still Michele Bachmann is not the problem. Senator Lieberman of Connecticut poses a potential pitfall to the historic efforts lead solely by the Democratic Party. On October 27th, he announced that he would support a Republican filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health-care bill. This action alone could keep the Reid version from moving out of the Senate.
Grassroots opposition to Lieberman
Almost immediately the average Americans, the silent majority, began voicing their frustrations with Senator Lieberman. Internet sites, such as WordPress.com has added fuel to the fire by putting up comments and parodies against Lieberman. The frustration is understandable when you consider that more than 70% percent either strongly or somewhat support reform. Traitor Joe tee shirts are even turning up; the free market in action.
Even though Republicans have stated that the Senate Health Care Bill is dead on arrival, there are solutions.

Liberman is a visionary to the truth about this country. And that is the federal government taking over private sector business, demanding free people to conform or be punished and to completely disregard the constitution is socialism.
Bachman is fighting for our constitutional liberties. And will continue to do so.
It is pretty obvious that even blue dog democrats and Republicans have this country's best interests at heart. Everyone else are socialists who think those that tried socialism in other countries failed because they didn't do it right. Socialism is what it is... a failure. It's been tried and tried for decades... it has failed miserably. Ask the Canadians, ask those in Denmark who are reversing course because they are going bankrupt.
If you love freedom and liberty Obamapelosireid care is not the answer. Capitalism, free markets and no government intrusion is.
stop attacking conservative media. bachman and hannity speaks the truth. i don't care what any one says. he fights for freedom and the constitution. he wasnt trying to mislead the public. he's an honorable man. more than the socialist in chief.
The author is dead on correct -- Leiberman has lost his mind.
And let me say, respectfully to Katt, that if you don't like Socialism, maybe then we should immediatey cut loose all of our senior citizens who are relying on government povided Medicare. If we cut them off, how many private insurers would step in to cover these elederly people who need a lot of help?
What the private sector cover old people? I think we all know the answer. And what about our veterans who sacrificed for this country? Aren't they covered by a "socialist" government healh care plan? Maybe we should cut them off too, give them their "freedom" and leave them to whims and the greed of the private insurance companies.
We all know what would happen if a vet came back from Iraq with a brain injury. I'm sure some private greedy insurance compny would be willing to help him out -- yeah, right.
I also assume Katt will be refusing to accept her Social Security check if and when she is able to collect.
I am so sick of all these crazy windbags claiming that Republicans and turncoats like joe liberman are fighting for or protecting the constitution. You guys don't care about it anymore than any other person. You only say the word "constitution" because of FOX News shows and crazy reps like Bachman. If you think I am attacking conservative media...GOOD. It deserves to be attacked for the bigotry it promotes. This is a fight betweeen the haves and have nots. The reason so many conservatives are against it is because the plan would help more minorities and the poor. They conveniently forget that they can be poor someday too. Don't tell me about your love of the constitution. You probably have never read it...otherwise you wouldn't be claiming the need to protect it. GET A GRIP!
Joe Lieberman is a true American hero who actually values our Constitution in a culture that is pretty much ready to dispose of it.
Here are some thoughts... Ken are you paying attention?
Those who are willing to sacrifice their basic liberties to assure their security deserve neither.
Now I don't know who originally said this but its so true. And President John Adams said “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt."
If you believe these socialists in Washington are not trying to enslave us as a nation then just look at the debt they are strapping upon us with Obamapelosireid health care. And that not the start, the government has taken over the auto industry, the banking industry and housing industry AND education.
And the majority of Americans elected them. Deaf Dumb and Blind these voters were.
Hey Ken... You're a socialist. And socialism didn't work when it was tried the first 100 times.
Republicans are such hypocrites. They act as though socialism is the great danger of our time. But you never hear them say outlaw medicare. I wonder why?
