From: "Bill Spence" [email protected] Fellow Patriots: It seems that Senator Joe Lieberman is in the spotlight as the critical vote on whether or not there is a filibuster in the Senate before they adjourn for the Christmas Holidays.. In order for us to predict what he will do and understand where he is coming from I have assembled some recent articles and posts about him..Hopefully this will help us somewhat understand him and not be surprised at what he eventually does.....even if it is after the 1st of next year.. Do we trust him? We pray to God that America will not fall to Socialism, Communism, Marxism or whatever this Administration, the Liberal Democrats, the "on the take" Blue Dogs, the RINO's and the Lefty Independents are trying to do to "CHANGE" our Country..... ..and line their pockets... In God We Trust, Bill J. Spence.. /ccpga/ ************ ********* ******* Lieberman Haters Need a Little Self-Awareness EXCERPT: It’s amusing to watch the swarm of enraged Democrats promising revenge against Joe Lieberman for his daring to oppose the Medicare buy-in. Isn’t this the party that has spent the last year constantly ridiculing Republicans for supposedly demanding ideological purity in their ranks? What’s particularly amusing is that the Democrats screaming bloody murder don’t seem to have the slightest self-awareness of the contradiction in their positions http://www.redstate .com/curt_ levey/2009/ 12/15/lieberman- haters-need- a-little- self-awareness/ Joe Lieberman and the Health Care Train Wreck EXCERPT: Rahm Emmanuel and the White House are actively pressuring the Democratic leadership in Congress to give Lieberman whatever he wants in order to pass some form of health reform legislation, no matter how ragged, damaging and useless the final product may turn out to be. http://www.opednews .com/articles/ Joe-Lieberman- and-the-Heal- by-William- Rivers-Pit- 091215-332. html Harry Reid punts on punishing Joe Lieberman EXCERPT: And he sounds open to supporting the bill with those controversial provisions dropped, although Democrats say Lieberman has effectively neutered the bill. http://www.politico .com/news/ stories/1209/ 30676.html Is Joe Lieberman Protecting Israel? EXCERPT: Is it possible that Lieberman's obstructionist behavior doesn't relate to Connecticut' s insurance industry or to his political ego - the two most cited explanations - but rather to a calculation that he can use his leverage on health care to limit the pressure that President Barack Obama can put on Israel to make concessions on a Mideast peace plan? http://www.informat ionclearinghouse .info/article241 95.htm COMMENT FROM MoveOn.com: Joe Lieberman helped President Bush invade Iraq, and the Democrats in Washington forgave him. Then, he endorsed John McCain, and they forgave him again. Then, he personally attacked Barack Obama at the Republican National Convention, and still the Democrats forgave him. The time for forgiveness is over. It's time to hold Senator Lieberman accountable. >From two writers in the Liberal Huffingtonpost: 1. Robert Creamer: Lieberman Betrayal Illustrates Why Senate Filibuster Rules Must ChangeLieberman's success in eliminating the public option from the Senate health reform bill makes one thing perfectly clear: to pass progressive reform, the Senate must change its filibuster rules. http://www.huffingt onpost.com/ robert-creamer/ lieberman- betrayal- illust_b_ 394085.html 2. Trey Ellis: Why I'm Not Mad at LiebermanWhen Joe was kicked out of the Democratic Party, he understood his strategic position and figured out exactly when and how to strike. The president's problem is completely the opposite. http://www.huffingt onpost.com/ trey-ellis/ why-im-not- mad-at-lieberm_ b_394109. html For a Tea Party near you Google: Tea Party [name of your town] What ever hapened to the Home of the Brave and Land of the Free? -- To join RichsRants, send email to: [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/richsrants?hl=en
