They are hiding what’s in the bill because of what happened with the last one. &$*#&#@*!!!!
If they can’t understand it by reading it, how do they propose that others, who have not read it, go about implementing and enforcing it??
What fools!
War.
War is made of things such as this.
This is not a conversational issue.
This is END OF REPUBLIC stuff.
Listen, Mr. Carper, just because you’re an illiterate who never got past the third grade reading level, don’t project your feelings on to the rest of the populace.
And it was purposely written in as plain language as possible, so that the average citizen could understand it.
The monstrous "health care" bill was produced in the shadows, just like any murder conspiracy.
Unfortunately for the creators of this hideous and dangerous bill, the average citizen understands this.
If Senator Carper and his colleagues cannot read well enough to do their job, we should find someone who is.
He will not read the bill-bill but he will read the Cliff Notes. Unfortunately, the Cliff Notes are not really the bill so there will be many nasty surprises hidden in the actual language not revealed in a sanitized summary. Even if he read the actural bill, it would not matter. A large part of the details will be determined by the courts.
I applaud this rat on his honesty. I do not oppose this bill based on his honesty. I oppose the bill on principle. I oppose price controls, health care rights, government rationing schemes, and wealth redistribution policies. If we are to have this nonsense, I would prefer a straightforward bill providing a Canadian style plan. This bill is a horrible mess of demands from many competing interest groups. It is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever concocted, saying a lot because of many horrible pieces of legislation.
....if you can’t read it,you can’t vote on it......
I honestly can’t tell whether or not this is satire. Can somebody please clarify.

It should be against the law to not read or understand a bill before voting on it.
This is an absolute outrage.
None of the variants of these bills go into effect until 2013. They should be published on the ‘net and left there for review for several months.
The question I hope people will keep asking is why congress is not subjecting themselves and their labor union thug buddies to these plans.
Keep reminding people over and over and over of that fact and that ostammer doesn’t want the bill going into effect until after the 2012 election.
These are two huge points that have been mentioned, but not nearly enough. Keep repeating them.
“I don’t expect to actually read the legislative language because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I’ve ever read in my life,” Carper told CNSNews.com.
God help us.
Perhaps it is written in RUSSIAN! They are insulting us like we are children...”you wouldn’t understand dear, just trust us sweetie.” You know who they don’t want to read it...people like Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham and others who have legal training. A long time ago we used to see the phrase “Johnny can’t read”....this is “Johnny WON’T read.”
Memo to Sen. Carper: Don't you think that reading bills, so that you can understand what you are voting for or against (especially when the outcome effects just about every American citizen), is an essential part of your job as a legislator? We who pay your salary and benefits certainly think so! But as long as you can shirk your duties and get away with it, why should you care? After all, you're just a temprorary stand-in for Biden. Nonetheless, please be advised that you are an utter disgrace!
