DeLauro: recall Lieberman
By ConnPolitics.tv Editor on Dec 15, 2009 | In News, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I), Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-3rd) | 54 feedbacks »
(WTNH) – 3rd District Rep. Rosa DeLauro doesn’t think much of her legislative colleague Sen. Joseph Lieberman these days. So much so she’d like him recalled from office.
“No individual should hold health care hostage, including Joe Lieberman, and I’ll say it flat out, I think he ought to be recalled,” Rep. DeLauro told the web site Politico.
However, there is no such recall law in Connecticut.

Anonymous, I find it amazing that just a few posts ago you were talking about those of us who are moderate (in your mind liberal) making snide and nasty remarks.

isnt it funny how Joe Lieberman, who really is the only one acting in a non-partisan way and actually looking at the issues as opposed to just voting the way the other sheep are, is getting so much grief. Keep up the good work Joe. Dont let the Dems fool everyone.

After reading and participating on this blog for my short tenure, I am astonished at how biased the blog masters are to support the left wing Democrats. I guess I should expect that from a media in a blue state, but bias and agendas in the media is most threatening to our democracy.

hostage!? Aren't we the people being held hostage by this administration by putting us deeper and deeper in debt, and shoving health care down your throats? I agree health care does need to be changed, but not socialized. This bill is 2000 pages of B.S. and FULL of loop holes.
HOLD YOUR GROUND JOE !!

This is from the same progressive representative that refused to meet with people this summer to hear about their healthcare concerns.She blew us off. Who gives her the right to recall anybody? Too bad she's from a "safe" district.

Recall Rosa and that lug head Chris Dodd. Joe is the only one with and sense. Rosa and Chris have forgotten that they are playing with our hard earned money. It's not "play money."

typical libera, if you don't totally agree with them then you are evil, and then go after joe's wife who is a breast cancer prevention and find a cure ambassador. it seems it is impossible to have a discussion or debate with a liberal without being attacked. no wonder why no one listens or tries to be bipartisan with them. maybe rosa should direct her attack on fellow liberals that bailed. if she knew how to count she would know that the control the numbers in the congress and senate.

now thats precious. Rosa delauro ,the most do nothing, least accomplished, least influential congressman in Connecticuts history has the balls to ask to have Lieberman recalled LOL.DeLauro is now, has been and always will be a joke.Simply using her name, family influence and her liberal voting bloc to hold a job when she is just a very mediocre rep.

I'm with you, Rosa. He's not Democrat. Whoever thinks he speaks for the majority of Connecticut citizens has not looked at the Quinnipiac poles. We want Medicare for all, not just for those over 55.
Bringing younger, healthier people into Medicare would save money, not add to the deficit.
Flip Flip Joe was for Medicare for younger when he was running for Vice President. Now he's running for the Board of Aetna.

Just keep following the liberal line Rosa and spend us into oblivion.
Recall Joe??? Don't think so...Counting the days to the 2010 elections when we can vote you and your buddy Dodd out.
Did you ever have an independent thought between your ears or one that put the taxpayers in CT ahead of the Democrat Party and its left wing?
Not that i can recall....

All Lieberman has done is try and keep himself in politics. When he didn't get the democratic vote he needed he turned on his heels and went independant...for his interests only. Obama was the one who said no to penalizing him. And this is what we get. Have you people seen how much these health care companies gouge private business... $3,000 a month for family insurance, $800 for a single person, $2200 for emp+1 and they give you no information when you ask them to support their 30 to 50% annual rate increases. We need competition or at the very least accountability. Maybe the average Joe could actually retire at a halfway decent age and have insurance instead of getting stuck with $800 a month on COBRA. Otherwise we'll all be working till we drop dead. And Lieberman doesn't care, all his benefits are paid for.

To all you people, my neighbor said ROSA was such a good person. Well I asked her to name me 5 things she has done while in Congress, she could NOT name one thing. Rosa needs to go and fresh blood brought in to Congress. Also Dodd needs to be put out of office. We need leadership that follows the U.S. Constitution.

Joe listen to Mr. Dean.
Anyone who votes for this bill is committing political suicide. Lastest polls show about 35% for this bill.
Good luck in 2010 democrats! You'll need it!

Rosa - YOU need to go
1. YOU were there on the Lilly Ledbedder Law - when Barak was breaking his promise of a 5 day public review of legislation
2. Have you read the healthcare bill????????? I wrote to you about other laws and it was obvious by your answer I had more of a clue than you (Cap & Trade)

First of all you would think a Congress woman from Connecticut would or should know that Connecticut law does not provide for a recall. rosa baby you should know the law before you open you mouth or are you just toooo dumb to care? Senator Lieberman is standing up for the people of Connecticut, the majority of whom do NOT want this bloated so-called healthcare bill. If ANYBODY needs to be recalled it is you rosa for selling out the people of Connecticut. You make me ashamed to be of Italian decent.

Wow, Rosa has a lot of nerve. I would like to see her go. She has always said she is an advocate for the elderly. No way...just an advocate for herself. How can she support a 500 billion reduction in Medicare and claim to support the elderly.
I am not sure of Lieberman's motives but I am glad he is holding up this bill. I just hope he doesn't back down because the immorals ones, Reid & Pelosi are already talking about giving Lieberman whatever he wants for his vote. Nevermond doing what is best for the country....with a 12 trillion debt how can we sustain trillions more?????? Hang tough, Joe!!!!

Shame Rosa's mother didn't support abortion the way she does.
I voted against her 10 times running. 2010 will make it 11.
She's been in office since 1991. How about a change?
Only thing she's got going for her is her great Halloween mask she wears all the time. SCARY!

Thats amazing because, if he was biased, he would not let everyone who posts here - as you all appear to be conservative - post at all.
"He represents all the people not just the democrats like yourself."
He represents moderate Republicans.
"Wow, Rosa has a lot of nerve. I would like to see her go. She has always said she is an advocate for the elderly. No way...just an advocate for herself."
They are all advocates for themselves. However, Joe makes it apparent as he switches sides based on what will keep him in office. What happened to republicans supporting the Bush doctrine of "stay the course, no matter what"? If you truly supported this you would all be angry at Joe for flip-flopping.
"Shame Rosa's mother didn't support abortion the way she does."
Thats sickening and you should be ashamed of yourself.

"Rosa is a progressive and a communist. "
Yes, that is the new Republican "rallying call". Everyone who doesn't agree with their backwards ideologies is a "Communist" and anyone who is progressive hates America.
Visitor 2, I'm sure you believe the following:
1. Women shouldn't vote.
2. Women should be "barefoot and pregnant."
3. There was no need for a civil rights movement.
4. The telephone, TV and computers have destroyed the American family.
Etc.
Let me remind you of one thing. Jesus was a progressive. Jesus' strongest challenges were reserved for the highest and mightiest conservatives, the Pharisees (who idolized their own piety), the wealthy (who idolized possessions), the Roman rulers (who idolized political power), and the moneychangers (who idolized profit). If he were alive today, he would be taunted and rejected by our conservatives as a wager of class warfare, as anti-business, as anti-patriotic, as anti-Christian (er, um, anti-religious). Furthermore he associated with Lepers, Tax Collectors, and "whores".
So, before you label anyone who is progressive a "communist" think about what Jesus did - as you are politically conservative I trust that you are a christian conservative as well - and therefore know the bible.

Plus she's not owned by Insurance companies and AIPAC like your Buddy Traitor Joe.

Wow, now Rosa wants to control other elected officials as well? I don't necessarily agree with Lieberman on all of the issues but I respect Democracy and the American political system. I suppose she forgot Liberman was elected by the people of Connecticut and that this is how the voting process works. Lieberman is allowed to vote as he pleases, afterall he is an Independent on paper, and no longer has to follow the partisan path of the party bosses. Maybe Rosa should refresh her memory on this and/or take some time away from DC where even the best of politicians eventually become corrupted or lose their way. I can't help but notice her rhetoric is increasingly Mafiosa and Fascist between healthcare, union organizing, abortion, and now trying to supercede the legal office of a sitting Connecticut Senator. She really gives us Italians and Roman Catholics a bad name. No wonder people elsewhere in the country hate and stereotype us.

Rosa DeLaruo is a moron.
A bloody moron who has not the first grasp of the Constitution of the United States.
The problem is that it takes morons to elect her.
This state is Democrat because there are now more people here who are dependent than there are people who work.
Democrats one day will have to understand that sooner or later you run out of other peoples' money.

I am sorry that I live in New Haven County and have to put up with Rosa DeLauro as my representative. For my Christmas wish - I wish & hope the people in New Haven County would acquire the common sense to vote her out of office. She is an embarrassment and ineffective as our representative. In industry, they would call her "dead wood" meaning she is just taking up space and not contributing anything of substance. That's her to a tee!!

Yes, again you don't seem to understand that the republicans of 1833 have become the democrats of today. Essentially there was a "flipping" of the two parties in the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
So, thanks for the compliment.

Rosa DeLauro for not knowing there is no recall in Connecticut.
The Horse's A** of The Year award to Filmmaker Michael "The Fat Whale" Moore. This larda** does not even know where Connecticut is and he wants people to boycott the State just Because he does not like Lieberman.
People should boycott anything and everything Moore has ever done and maybe his fat lard*** will disappear off the map.
