Lieberman tells Reid he won’t support the expansion of Medicare

posted by Susan Johnson | 10:51pm Sunday December 13, 2009

Lieberman will join the Republican filibuster if the expansion of Medicare is part of the bill:

The two Senators had a discussion in Reid’s office shortly after Lieberman appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday morning. The Connecticut Independent discussed with Reid some of his concerns about the legislation, elaborating on issues he had raised during the show. According to the source, who was briefed on the exchange, Lieberman punctuated the discussion by telling the majority leader directly that he would vote against the bill if the Medicare buy-in and public option provisions remained in it. Roll Call reports that Lieberman said he would also support a Republican filibuster of legislation that included these provisions.

I thought Lieberman was going to support “reform,” what happened?

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

Lieberman changes his mind as he changes his clothes each day. Maddow showed videos from a few months back telling everyone why he was for expanding Medicare for younger people. Now that it’s being discussed he’s aganist it. Something is wrong with his thinking process it seems. He is causing much sorrow for many people who really need this, thousands and thousands. He likes being in control, too much.
