Not at all. They do - a fact of record. However, on this bill - since the Dems included the public option, they were given fair warning that one of the two independents whom they depend on for that power of cloture would not support it.Lieberman is in favor of a healthcare bill but will join the filibuster if the bill contains the public option and it does. This is nothing new to the Dems. They did not get blindsided by Lieberman on that. Perhaps the Dems should have thought this out a bit better and listened to the other party who said no public option.
Thank goodness that we aren't s single-party state - yet.
So you agree that the Dems don't have the votes for cloture. Thank you.
It sucks when cockiness comes back to bite one in the ass.
They don't have the votes. If they did then we wouldn't be having this discussion. Joe
Lieberman is against the public option because he wants to stick it to the Dems. Joe Lieberman from eight years ago would slap the shit out of present day Joe Lieberman.
