The Wandering Jew of Health Care Reform Strikes Again!

By John W. Lillpop

Will he or won’t he?

Yes he will! Wait a moment, we have an update: No he will not!

On and on it goes with Senator Joe Lieberman who, all by his lonesome, has added a few thousand strands of graying hair to the scalp of President Obama and turned Majority Leader Harry Reid into even more of a basket case.

Of course, the issue is health care reform. And the gentleman from Connecticut has vultures (Democrats) in the Senate positively freaked out with his on and off and off and on gyrations concerning the proposed ruination of the finest health care system in the entire world.

The latest, as of a little after noon EST today, has Brother Joe back in the fold and willing to support ObamaCare, PROVIDED that the Medicare expansion provision, which just last Sunday was hailed as a major break through orchestrated by virtue of the rare intellect of Harry Reid, is out.

As reported at yahoonews.com, in part:

“WASHINGTON – Independent Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman says he expects to support the Democrats' health care legislation as long as any government-run insurance plan stays out of the bill.

“Lieberman has been a question mark on the health care legislation for months. To win him over, Senate leaders said late Monday they were backing away from a Medicare expansion Lieberman opposed. They already had dropped a full-blown government insurance program.”

With the wandering Jew finally in tow, one would expect Democrats to be dancing with glee, right?

Well, not exactly. The concession needed to snare Lieberman has set off the Dean of Democrat moon bats, also known as Howard Dean, who now supports a fascist solution through imposition of the reconciliation procedure.

As reported, in part, at whorunsgov.com:

“In a blow to the bill grinding through the Senate, Howard Dean bluntly called for the bill to be killed in a pre-recorded interview set to air later this afternoon, denouncing it as “the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate,” the reporter who conducted the interview tells me.

“Dean said the removal of the Medicare buy-in made the bill not worth supporting, and urged Dem leaders to start over with the process of reconciliation.”

“The gauntlet from Dean — whose voice on health care is well respected among liberals — will energize those on the left who are mobilizing against the bill, and make it tougher for liberals to embrace the emerging proposal.

In an excerpt, Dean reportedly states:

“This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate. Honestly the best thing to do right now is kill the Senate bill, go back to the House, start the reconciliation process, where you only need 51 votes and it would be a much simpler bill.”

“Dean essentially said that if Democratic leaders cave into Joe Lieberman right now they’ll be left with a bill that’s not worth supporting.”

Once again, Democrats have shown incompetence and ineptness on a scale that renders them totally incapable of running a political party, much less an entire nation!
