Progressive Group Takes Aim At Lieberman For Obstructing Public Option

Whether he’s in Connecticut or Washington, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) won’t be able to hide from his controversial position on the public option. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee will run the below ad in Lieberman’s home state and the District of Columbia, starting tomorrow.

“Joe Lieberman promised Connecticut voters in 2006 that he would support core Democratic issues like health care reform,” said PCCC co-founder Adam Green in a statement. “This tongue-in-cheek ad holds Lieberman accountable for putting his own ego ahead of the overwhelming will of Connecticut voters who demand a public health insurance option.”

The initial buy is $40,000, to be supported by additional online fundraising.
