“Democrats sure do like to hold big health care votes on Saturdays ”

What possible difference does that make? Do you imagine that if the vote were held on a weekday, then everyone would tune into C-SPAN to listen to the classical music and watch the milling around that happens during a vote?

Is it too early to get the fork out?

Hey – What has happened with the Democrats’ campaign promise to put the full text of bills on the Internet – for 5 days I think – before they’re voted on? Have they kept it?

The CBO had “scored” the bill that was released last night. It was reported that CBO had it for two weeks to do the scoring.

The bill will collect taxes starting immediately, but the nationalized health care goes into effect after the inauguration in 2013. The CBO counted the income against the expenditures from the passage of the bill. Ergo, the deficit neutral act gets three years of head start on raising revenue to balance against seven years of spending.

Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure. The sham artists have larded this piece of pork trash with accounting gimmickry and the CBO has played the game with them.

There are lies, damned lies and Obama and the Democrat Congress. I would rather have a gun pointed at my head than to be waterboarded by liberals thinking they are fooling me with their doublespeak and righteous claptrap.
