He was one, and chose to leave the party in 2006 and become an independent. He did continue to caucus with with Democrats. However, he also endorsed John McCain in 2008.
Yes, Democrats were within a dick hair of getting a public option but fell one vote short. Mind you, the super majority vote was only necessary because of the GOP filibustering the entire ACA, even the watered down version. We would have had better health care in this country, if the GOP wasn’t hell bent of preventing it. Could Democrats do better? Yes, but the lack of a public option is very much the fault of the GOP and Joe fucking Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman was a Democrat.
And no, I’ll blame Democrats. Their one chance to do the right thing and they sold out, as they always do.
It’s a shame the people can’t eat excuses.
