Graham: House Bill "D.O.A." in the Senate
Would Filibuster Health Care Reform with Public Option, Declaring "Liberal" House Bill Would Mean "Disaster"
By Michelle Levi
(CBS) Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.,
said the health care bill passed last night by the House of
Representatives is "dead on arrival to the Senate."
Graham argued that the House bill was "written for liberals, by liberals.
"Just look at how it passed; it passed 220 to 215. It passed by two
votes. You had [39] Democrats vote against the bill," Graham told
"Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer Sunday.
He also admitted that if it were to come down to it, he would join
his independent colleague Senator Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in
filibustering a bill including the so-called public option should it
come to the Senate floor.
