Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned up yesterday at the Washington conference of the National Association of Counties, and she engaged in a little cheerleading for ObamaCare:
You've heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don't know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention--it's about diet, not diabetes. It's going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.Yes, reader, she really said, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." If you don't believe us, ask YouTube. And Pelosi is not alone in equating knowledge of the bill's contents to enactment of it. Consider the lead paragraph of this Associated Press dispatch about Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, who cast the deciding vote allowing passage of the Senate's version of ObamaCare;
A moderate Democrat insisted Tuesday she remained opposed to pushing a health care bill through the Senate with a simple majority vote, despite saying she wanted to see what was in the legislation.

Dede NY23, Coakley and Hutchison got it already recently.
We need more of them gone.
Reminds me of Groucho Marx trying to get someone to sign a contract. “Just sign your name at the bottom. We’ll fill in something later.”
or its like Rush said the other day, “It’s like you have to buy the house to get a tour of it”
How ya all likin’ that hoax and change style “demokracy”?
Can you IMAGINE George W. Bush saying a thing like this???
“It’s not a tax increase it’s a repeal of tax decrease.”
Yogi Berra has nothing compared to Stretch.
Brilliant!
I swear, you can’t make this stuff up.
Do you people still think we are dealing with SANE people?
Are you willing to do something other than hope we will still have the right to vote (etc) this time next year?
The most telling thing in her statement was the comment that it is not about diabetes, it is about diet.
Tell me how you are going to control diabetes through diet?
Only if you pass rules and regulations about who can eat what and how much they can eat.
Silly?
If you think so, wake up.
There, fixed it.
You’re all too dull to get it. She’s giving us a gift. We should be excited, appreciative, and expectant. We should look at her like my dogs look at me when I make them sit before they get fed. Make your eyes say please. So just be quiet children, Christmas is in two weeks.
Ball Club to rookie:
You have to sign this contract so you can read it.
Pelosi is such an idiot. She should go back to burning cookies in the kitchen. What the Hell ever qualified her for anything past kiddie care assistant?
It's because she CARES, man! She FEELS for her constituents.
What do these arrogant, lying perverts in Washington have to do or say for the voting tax payers to get a clue.
They don’t care in the least what’s in the bill, they have exempted themselve from joining this deathcare.
Shun them. Disrespect them. Vote them out. Support their opponents. Ridicule them. Laugh at them.
Is she showing her ignorance or her contempt for the American people? Pray for the USA
