1. There is something seriously fucked up about a system

that allows a single senator with a bug up his ass about something to block legislation that millions of people want and desperately need. *Seriously* fucked up.

2. Basically he has told Obama to kill muslims or he'll kill us

Maybe it's time to try this dumbass for treason.

3. I think

that if liberman votes against bringing this to the floor he should be immediately striped of his chairmanship and made to go to the bottom of the list below the newbies for any post before he gets one. Treat him like he is treating the American people.

4. He should be tarred and feathered.

5. Lindsey Graham: ‘Joe Lieberman is a national treasure.’

Graham: ‘Joe Lieberman is a national treasure.’

During a recent interview, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) “something special,” recounting their recent trip abroad. He also claimed that people around the world view McCain as a “reassuring” presence, but later admitted that no one had a “McCain sticker” on their desk:

GRAHAM: Senator Lieberman, I think, is a national treasure, because no matter how you feel about his politics, he was willing to risk everything, politically, for a cause he believed in. But to see the interaction between these two guys and world leaders was something special. <...>

I think John McCain will be a reassuring presence to the world. … It really was a smile on people’s faces, knowing that if this guy got to be president, I think we could do business with him. … I think he’s a reassuring presence. Doesn’t mean that they prefer John over Obama or Senator Clinton, but there’s a level of comfort there.

If you're being blackmailed fight back.

10. Good point.

We're essentially paying for people's health care in other countries, but we can't take care of our own people?
