Is it time to start a grass roots movement against ALL politicians who have sold out to corporate interests regardless of their party affiliation? I think so.

Joe Lieberman helped President Bush invade Iraq, endorsed John McCain, personally attacked Barack Obama at the Republican National Convention, and Now, Joe Lieberman is single-handedly gutting health care reform. It's time to hold Senator Lieberman accountable.

So, if we've dropped the Public Option and the Medicare buy-in ... shouldn't we be considering dropping the "purchase mandate" and the health insurance industry's antitrust exemption, in order to balance things out a bit?

The Obama administration is pissed off at Howard Dean, not at Joe Lieberman. That tells you all you need to know. Health Care Reform was a scam and a sweetheart deal for the insurance industry from the beginning.

Are you watching C-Span right now? Sen. Sanders (I-VT) has introduced a single-payer amendment to add to the healthcare bill, and Sen.Coburn (R-OK) instead of allowing debate is using an arcane rule and is having the entire 700 page amendment read by the clerk, killing debate. Our govt. is broken.
