1. Reid's spine is like the weather in California

His occasional courage is unreliable.

4. What's the longest

fillibuster in history in just a vote for cloture? Can this go on for months?

I really wonder what Lieberman hopes to gain from this. COnsidering a majority of people from CT want a public option does he really want to be so damn high profile against it? How does this really help him long term?

6. Lieberman doesn't think about the long term

Like most corporatists, he just wants some money and attention NOW.

7. Strom Thurmond, 1957

On Aug. 29, 1957, the South Carolina senator wrapped up a 24-hour, 18-minute-long tirade meant to stall voting on the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Thurmond Thought Bill Was “Cruel and Unusual Punishment”

Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S.C., prepared with cough drops, malted milk tablets and satiated by a steak dinner, took the podium at 8:54 p.m. on Aug. 28, 1957. His fellow Southern Democrats loathed the bill under debate, the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which would ensure that black voters would have ready access to polling booths. Thurmond insinuated that the bill was unconstitutional and tantamount to “cruel and unusual punishment.”

His fellow Southern politicians had vowed earlier never to filibuster. Undeterred, Thurmond pressed on to delay voting on the proposal.

10. If I'm not mistaken....

..Connecticut already has its own govt ran health care system, which is probably why he is being such an ass!
