Exhibit A: Senator Joseph Lieberman's "True Constituency"

[kpete]

Exhibit A: Senator Joseph Lieberman. Please consider the following facts. Here are the career political contributions to Senator Lieberman from the following industries/business interests:
http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?cycle=Career&cid=N00000616

Health Professionals $1,041,362

Insurance $1,040,320

Pharmaceuticals/Health Products $617,540

And when you look at the Health Sector (which combines contributions by individuals and political action committees) you discover that Senator Lieberman has received a whopping $2,399,701. This does not include money from lawyers and lobbyists (another $4,045,367) who may represent health care providers and insurance companies among their clientele.

Indeed, Senator Lieberman, long known for his adamant defense of the most egregious policies of the Israeli government, actually received less money from Pro-Israeli interests ($2,008,278) over the course of his career. So it should come as no surprise that Senator Lieberman opposed any and all provisions of the health care reform bill that would negatively impact his true constituency: insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies.
