[Oceander]

You're suprised that I respond to your ad hominem attacks with something less than an academic analytical argument? What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. And, just to cut to the chase, Arlen Specter voted for Obamacare, Joe Lieberman did not. If you cannot digest that fact, then one wonders what you're doing on a conservative forum.

[Comparative Advantage]

Liberalman voted for cloture on the Senate healthcare plan. That’s as good as voting for it. Even if what you tried to suggest was true, that one vote would be good enough in your opinion to believe that Liberalman is the kind of politician we need representing the GOP? He’s not anywhere close to having a more moderate voting record like Arlen Spector or the Maine girls. And, no, I do not have any use for Snarlin’ Arlen. Joe LIBERALMAN is just about as PRO-ABORTION and PRO-BIG GOVERNMENT as you will find in Congress. Apparently, you are of the same mind.

Excuse me, Liarman voted FOR the health care bill NOT just cloture.

the votes are identical to each other, no Senator voted for cloture and against the bill. 60-39 (Bunning (R) absent)
