Liberal group slams Lieberman

Make sure to watch the video!!!

A liberal group is targeting Senator Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent who is holding out on health care, with a new tongue-in-cheek ad that accuses him of looking out for himself, not his constituents.

Lieberman has threatened to go along with a Republican filibuster to stop the Democratic bill if it includes a public option -- a government-run plan to compete with private insurers.

Unlike proponents who say it would help reduce costs, Lieberman and other foes oppose more government control of health care. Lieberman's critics also say he is carrying water for big health insurers that are based in Connecticut and who have been generous campaign contributors.

"It's not about you, it's all about Joe," the chairman of the fake "Connecticut for Lieberman Party" says.

3. I emailed that prick my concerns
about his potential vote and how easily he breaks promises he made to the people of CT when my fellow CT residents were stupid enough to elect him in 2006. I was surprisingly polite because I knew the poor pathetic schlub reading it had no power or influence whatsoever.

Of course the backstabbing POS hasn't bothered to write back, I wonder if he and his buddies will have the balls to ask me for money again in 2012, after my responses last time, maybe not.
