Read the Bill Before Passing It

In 1776, the rallying cry was, "No taxation without representation."

Today, it could be, "No taxation without totally clueless representation."

[rawcatslyentist]

Passing blind legislation is still NOT REPRESENTATION!

[Ev Reeman]

Any representative regardless of party who does not read an entire bill should never be re-elected.

The only excuse for not reading a bill is if the WH or Congrssional leaders do/does not allow time enough to read it or have access to it in the first place. Then it is up to us to vote whomever sits in the WH out of office the moment the chance arises to do so.

[Brilliant]

I have a better idea... Don’t pass it.

[GregoTX]

Read the bill first? Watch it... your on thin ice now commoner! Hold your tongue our we will deny your medical treatments in the future.

[Vendome]

They represent their retirement fund

Passing blind legislation is still NOT REPRESENTATION!

It's like a surgeon operating in the dark....or blindfolded.....on top of that, it's TREASON!

[Vaquero]

in the same vane as the Chinese communists, who used to refer to Americans as “capitalist running dogs.”

Is that “woman” sporting a faint John Waters moustache?

[aruanan]

Sorry, I should have provided a picture:

[Ev Reeman]

Separated at birth?

[Vaquero]

How queer is that?

[OneWingedShark]

I want informed, thoughtful, prudent, and wise representation; not clueless representation.

[Ev Reeman]

Then so much for Obummer’s re-election...lol...

[aruanan]

He actually does look quite a bit like Nancy.

[Ev Reeman]

I guess if you’ve seen one degenerate liberal, you’ve seen em all...lol...

[savedbygrace]

Congresspeople aren’t voting on legislation; they’re voting on marketing concepts.

[aruanan]

I guess if you’ve seen one degenerate liberal, you’ve seen em all...lol...

But Serial Mom and Hairspray (the original one) were pretty good.

[reg45]

Isn’t the phrase “degenerate liberal” redundant?

[Ev Reeman]

lol

[HighlyOpinionated]

She’s had one “mustache peel” too many. And her last face lift pulled her skin so tightly over her facial bones that she nearly resembles a skeleton with “surprise” eyes.

Why can’t a woman just be allowed to age with all the wrinkles?

[Ev Reeman]

Pelosi is beginning to look like the taxidermied corpse of Norman Bates’s mother from PSYCHO.

[bgill]

How about also limiting the number of amendements? If they can’t get it passed with x number, then it was trash to begin with and they need to start over with a better worded bill.
