Lieberman: “If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote.”

Hang in there Joe...

[Carley]

And if there is a trigger?

Not that I don’t trust Joe, but I don’t.

[Sarah Barracuda]

So what he’s saying is if the remove the word “public option” he will vote for it, they will just call it something else. I dont give a damn what this garbage is called, he better vote NO on it

[dr_who]

Same here.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I think we have to contact Lieberman, he is the key to making this bill die. We have to tell him that under NO circumstances must he vote yes on this bill. Does he have a contact #, we should all call him

[jazusamo]

He stated it pretty clearly, if that plan is in there he’ll filibuster.

[freekitty]

If only this were true. Didn’t he flip on the last one?

[ncalburt]

He corrected Reid last week when Reid said he had flipped him to the left wing rag “ the Hill”.

[Mamzelle]

Makes me nervous that he and Lindsey are getting out in front—positioning themselves for a deal.

[Man50D]

Watch LIEberman with a jaundiced eye. His political career is based on wetting his finger then sticking it in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing.

[scooby321]

Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, and many more will commit sucide if the vote for Public option. Virginia's Senators better have paid attention to the last vote.

[freekitty]

Thanks for the info.

[ncalburt]

But in reality who knows ?
Watch what Snowe is doing .
She is the queen snake in sea of senate vipers.
I suspect her “ trigger” crap will be dragged out again after Reid's bill collapses and she will demand a spot on the all negotiating committees.

[murron]

That’s what I fear. He may be masking his comments by meaning that he won’t vote for the wording public option. He may vote for a co-op or some other such thing.
