Perhaps you're aware of the possibility that some guy in Connecticut could kill health care reform in the Senate.
And perhaps you know his name: Senator Joe Lieberman.
We face a crisis in government when one man in Connecticut can stop the Democratic party from achieving its goalsin spite of the fact that democrats have through free and fair elections built commanding majorities in both houses of Congress.
President of Air America Media Mark Green discusses the problem here.
According to Green, Lieberman's only remaining argument against the public option is that it would be "an unnatural and dangerous appendage to health care reform."
If Lieberman's opposition to the public option rests on this atrocious argument, then Lieberman must be motivated by money. This is a manifestation of a structural problem with government, argues Green, and it must be addressed if we are to govern ourselves well and wisely.
How do you sleep at night, Sen. Droopy Dog? Do you have any idea how infuriating it is that some son of a bitch in Connecticut might actually deprive the people in my own state of the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they want a public option?
I hate to use this kind of language, but I think it is appropriate here:
Fuck you, Senator Joe Lieberman. Fuck you.
