ANNOUNCES HE WILL NOT SUPPORT GOVT. CONTROLLED PROPOSAL

by John Charlton

(Oct. 27, 2009) — Senator Joseph Lieberman, (I-CT) scuttled

hopes for the Health Care Bill proposed by Obama allies in Congress,

 when he announced today that he will not support a proposal that

gives control over health care to the Federal Government.

Lieberman was quoted by Alexander Bolton of The Hill.com, as saying:

“We’re trying to do too much at once . . . to put this government-created,

government-run insurance company on top of everything else is just asking

 for trouble for the taxpayer, for the premium payer and for the national

debt. I don’t think we need it now.”

Lieberman’s announcement is causing a national rejoicing from coast-to-coast,

among voters and citizens of all political persuasions.  His opposition to a key

 element of the Socialist agenda in Congress, to grasp for ever more control

over the daily lives of citizens, in violation to the Bill of Rights, is the ultimate

 political pay-back for the treacherous actions of the Democratic National Party

 leadership in his recent run for re-election for U.S. Senate in Connecticut.

Senator Lieberman, it should be remembered, began taking a politically

different path than the DNC, under the Clinton administration, when he

broke ranks and criticized a bill, supported by Democrats, which would

have relaxed controls on sexually explicit video games, citing the important

 of protecting children from smut.  His principled position was the bane

of the then Vice-President Al Gore who castigated him for his position.

The Senators opposition on this bill will be a key test of Obama’s eroding

authority, as his polls plummet and more and more U.S. citizens become

aware of his dubious past and non-existent basis for claims to eligibility.

  Obama will now have to get Reid to peal away Republican senators, to

get it passed in the Senate, which is not going to be easy in this political

climate, where non-Republican conservatives such as Dough Hoffman

are seen to be likely trouncing establishment candidates on less

controversial social issues.
