I Smell Bullshit

There, I said it. Who is this guy to our left? Only the biggest dipshit in the Senate today. I dislike him more than any Republican or Democrat for two reasons. First, he is Jewish and so am I; except, he gives Jews a bad name by being such a stupid moron. And to think he was almost vice-president. Do we really want the first Jew to reach that high of an office to be this guy? He loves war; he basically wants to be John McCain, but he is just an Independent who kind of votes Democrat. What confuses me most is that the great people of Connecticut fell for his ruse and re-elected him.

Second, and more germane to contemporary issues, he has threatened to filibuster the health care plan Reid (who I dislike also) is pushing. Not just abstain or vote no, but filibuster. And, not just attack the final plan and the final vote, but he won't even vote for cloture, or the movement of the bill from Reid's desk to the Senate floor for debate and then a vote of passage.

I smell bullshit Mr. Lieberman. You, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska are all guilty of...hold your breath...it's coming...douchebaggery -- a common crime of politicians. You four, and especially Mr. Lieberman are guilty of it beyond belief. 60% of the public want a public option. That is a fact at this time. Up from 54% in August, which means people have been convinced. Why would you be against it? Oh yeah, you are afraid of not being re-elected. You all are a bunch of trained monkey. You know why I am beginning to like Harry Reid who I would have also accused of douchebaggery only two weeks ago? Its because he is really reviled in Nevada and is looking at a likely ouster in 2010. When politicians smell their demise, they act in ways that reflect their true feelings instead of kowtowing  to every interest group for re-election. He has nothing to lose, and perhaps he is at peace with that. Maybe by acting decisively he will win next year because his constituents will see him as being strong and as enacting legislation that has been a long time coming, and actually does benefit the poor white fuckers who keep voting Republican despite the Republican party exploiting them (another blog unto itself). Hey Lieberman, just quit; or, shut your damn mouth. You are irrelevant. You were a vice-presidential candidate on a losing ticket; you lost a primary in your own party, of which you have belonged for a long time; and, no one likes you on either side of the aisle. So, go home and just be lame. Stop bothering everyone.

Update: I did a bit of research and found some interesting stuff. First, health professionals and the insurance industry are ranked 7th ($1,041,362) and 8th ($1,036,070) respectively in campaign donations over his career.   Second, in terms of individual donors, Purdue Pharma is 4th -- most of which was donated between 2003-8 for his re-election ($150,100), Aetna is 9th ($112,618), and Pfizer is 11th ($85,190). His voting record, during Bush II's administration is not much better...
