Soooo.... A Public Option was NEVER really an option.

And the Douchebag Of The Year Award goes to....

how to destroy health care reform, alternate perspective

1) establish unbeatable majority

2) use shortsighted appeasement tactics: spinelessly give away concessions during committee phase to opposition forces who don't intend to vote for the Bill no matter what form it takes.

3) having given away those concessions, let grandstanding attention-hungry munchkins of your own super-majority break rank and torpedo your semi-crappy non-reform-oriented "reform" legislation BY GIVING EVEN MORE AWAY and shifting the tone of the Bill to anti-reform.

4) watch as the fallout of your own incompetence swings majority the other way to a Party that knows how to get things done.

Joe Lieberman is a fucking cuntbag

Years from now when you are driven to bankruptcy by excessive health care costs... or MORE LIKELY: murdered by your "health care" insurance carrier, you can point directly back to this week's shenanigans by Joe "cunt bag" Lieberman who shilled for Big Insurance, nullified  his own parties *  majority force controlling TWO OUT OF THE THREE BRANCHES of our Federal government with his (Cunt bag Joe Lieberman's) weak argument of abstract future fiscal discipline, effectively destroying the potential for health care reform.

That 18%+ that the private "health care providers" are pocketing at the expense of your physical and financial well-being. Yeah, that extortion continues thanks to royal assclown cunt bag Joe fucking Lieberman.

to reiterate: Joe Lieberman = cunt bag

UPDATE:
* - claims to be an "independent". though we all know he's a Dem who is so quagmired in his cuntbaggery that he can no longer admit it to even himself anymore.
