the dems don’t want the bill read out loud-they know that once all the BS that’s in that bill is out into the public conciousness……well, i’m gonna borrow a phrase “the genie’s outta the bottle”!
the dems know that once America finds out what’s REALLY in the so-called “health care reform bill”-they’ll be inundated with emails, texts, letters, calls, etc from their constituents voicing their disapproval…..
not to mention that those exact same constituents will be voting them out of office in 2010

Even if a legislator’s voting on a bill he/she hasn’t read is not illegal, it ought to result in an automatic removal from office. What did we send those people there for, anyway?

I am now very interested in what those Republicans were waving during The One’s great healthcare speech to Congress. We are continually being told that they have no plan. The screeching needs to stop, and we need to learn exactly what that plan is.

So, we’ve get the Senate Democrats in a mad rush to pass a bill which their own leaders have not yet seen

Isn’t voting on a bill that hasn’t been seen (much less read) illegal? It should be.

This whole farce is getting entirely out of hand….

Not if you recognize their point.

People forget that laws are written by Congress, but ultimately executed by the administration and then interpreted by the judiciary. In short, the more vague the legislation, the more Obama can argue that it gives him power to regulate, and the less clear it is, the more racist justices like Sonia Sotomayer can read into it their bigoted beliefs.

When “Democratic politician” and “grownup” are put together, an oxymoron is created.

Should it not be illegal for members of Congress to vote on legislation they haven’t seen or read? This whole farce is getting entirely out of hand….

Progressives are asking themselves, “What ever happened to Barck Obama ?”…… conversly, the talking heads like Chris Matthews and Harold Ford, Jr., refuse to believe “real” long time legit-Democrats are voicing their objection to the lack luster bill taking shape on Capitol Hill… Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for the current intermural free-for-all …..This is what ya get when you vote for an urban myth rather than a proven track record.
