"I was elected to lead, not to read."

The dems don't know the meaning of the word honor! This is the most corrupt and evil administration this country has ever seen.
It is un- Democratic to read before you if you are told to.
If the representatives and senators do not want to read the bills before they vote on them, WE THE PEOPLE should be allowed to read the bills for them and then WE THE PEOPLE should tell them how we expect them to vote. After all, it is OUR government.
Democrats say it’s racist to read before you vote.
So can’t Beohner put this put as a privileged resolution? How about 5 days, so we can discuss?
"I was elected to lead, not to read."
na...its like kerry said....we wouldn’t understand it anyway.
If nobody is going to read the laws before passing them..technically a monkey could make just as informed of a decision.
I might add, given enough time a monkey can supposedly write shakespeare ...but it looks like it can do a politicians job on day one.
Now we have enough knowledgeable eyes on the web that any nefarious part could be outed quickly. Assuming that said eyes are allowed to see it.
The last thing the “Democrats” want is a democratic process!
It's getting pretty late.
If they don't stand up to Pelosi soon, it may be too late.
These freshman reps seem willing to just throw away their nascent careers in servile sacrifice to the Botoxed One. I've never seen anything like it. (Is that just my impression? Any congressional insiders out there who have? Has there ever been a speaker of either party able to enforce this level of docile obeisance?)
It would be funny if it was not true.
Her Nanciness would see to it that they never got anywhere as lobbyists afterward. So they’re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Is this a joke? Posting a proposed bill just 72 hours before it’s voted on doesn’t give the American people enough time to absorb and react to it. In fact, it doesn’t give us enough time to even read it. Most of us aren’t perusing the internet every day seeking to read and comprehend the possible effects of proposed bills, long, windy, and legaleze-steeped as they are. I honesty thought it was going to say “72 days” when I first glanced at the “72”.
What Walz deliberately left out of his letter is that the current House Rules aren’t working. Pelosi and Hoyer have shoved a horrifying succession of bills through the House including the trillion-dollar so-called stimulus spending bill, the national cap and trade energy tax, dropping hundreds of pages of amendments at 3:00 am the morning of the vote. In an effort to avoid public scrutiny, Pelosi’s massive “omnibus” spending bill had over 9,000 earmarks that were dropped into the bill at the very last minute.
Tim Waltz is my libturd socialist pig rep from 1st District-MN. I call his office regularly to scream & holler at his staffies or whoever picks up the phone. I have been disconnected & cut off as well. I don't care....I will keep calling
Tomorrow I am going to call & scream & holler about libturd Tim Waltz's latest travesty above. Rat Bastard!!! He portrays himself as a MODERATE here in MN and he votes for 0bozo & Pelosi right down the party line. Rat Bastard!!! The fur will fly tomorrow. (I better call from my vehicle in the parking lot so I don't get fired at work).
“Transparency” is just a fancy word for “racist”....
If this happens...I EXPECT every Pubbie on Capitol Hill to return to their district immediately...and note their return will occur after their copy arrives in their district...to be reviewed with their constituents in a series of Town Halls.
So I have a stupid question!
What happens when Zer0 and the Rats scurry out of office.
Can a simple EO decimate all this health-care BS, or does the congress need to vote it’s conclusion???
