Cap & Tax: Nobody Read It ... Because It Doesn't Exist

Cap & Tax: Nobody Read It ... Because It Doesn't Exist   [Andy McCarthy]

Nobody could have read the bill the House passed last night because there is no bill.  There apparently wasn't time to pull together a finished product that accounted for the hundreds of pages of amendments because of Pelosi's headlong rush to slam this lunacy through before anybody had a chance to learn what was actually in it. So there is no "it" that all the pages and pages of words can be found "in."  Democrats have passed a concept — not a bill. 

John Hinderaker at Powerline (relying on David Freddoso at the Examiner) has the embarrassing details.

That isn’t what he meant when he said and you know it.

I’m not sure that they even planned on voting on it when they did. Everything with Obama is sleight-of-hand and the death of Michael Jackson had the country so tied up that it provided them an excellent distraction from this travesty. I think they simply seized upon the timing to pass whatever they could.

You may be correct...the end justifies the means with them.

I am hoping enough of their constituents call them and challenge them for voting for something that was bogus. Maybe if enough irate people call they will have enough shame to change their votes.
