It was a big blow to the Democratic efforts to take over our healthcare, so big that Senator Tom Harken threatened to throw Lieberman out of the Democratic Caucus.

Yesterday Senator Reid's office reported that the Majority Leader and the Connecticut Senator reached a secret deal where the Senator will not vote for a filibuster but will continue to vote against the bill in the final roll call:

But sources said Reid’s staff is telling liberal interest groups that Lieberman (Conn.) has assured Reid he will vote with Democrats in the necessary procedural vote to end debate, perhaps with intentions to change the bill.

What is all this about a secret deal? Hussein promised all of the negotiations would be held on CSPAN, to make it transparent.

Hm. I’ll wait to see the LAMESTREAM MEDIA take Hussein to task for being a liar.

Gee, you think Harry Reid would lie to someone about someone elses plans to win support for what Harry wants? I distinctly remember a photograph of nominee Obama putting the beat down on Lieberman from last year. You think Lieberman has decided to pay back the man?

Congratulations on your mention by Rush on his Wed Nov 4th show! It is in the first 2 minutes of the 3rd hour. Have you noticed an increase in traffic?
