These Dems make it entirely too easy to oppose them and their idiotic schemes. Do they really not see how ridiculous they are? Of course the media will never call them on their b.s. If Carper isn't bright enough to read and understand this bill, then give up your Senate seat to someone who is imbecile!

[Arizona Carolyn]

Isn’t this the Bo Biden place holder?

Sen. Thomas Carper (D.-Del.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, told CNSNews.com that he does not "expect" to read the actual legislative language of the committee's health care bill because it is "confusing" and that anyone who claims they are going to read it and understand it is fooling people. "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.

And every Democrat who agrees with his assessment will henceforth be referred to as "Carperheads". ;')

[swheats]

Carper believes he’s the smartest of the group and we’re all too stupid to understand.

[TNdandelion]

They are hiding what’s in the bill because of what happened with the last one. &$*#&#@*!!!!

[HKMk23]

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!

[chuck_the_tv_out]

War.

War is made of things such as this.

This is not a conversational issue.

This is END OF REPUBLIC stuff.

[sitetest]

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.

[Shady]

The ultimate in arrogance and condescension. They should all be thrown in jail.

[Madame Dufarge]

The Constitution of the United States ran about 7 or 8 pages when originally written.

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.

[jmcenanly]

If Senator Carper and his colleagues cannot read well enough to do their job, we should find someone who is.

[Doogle]

....if you can’t read it,you can’t vote on it......

[refreshed]

I honestly can’t tell whether or not this is satire. Can somebody please clarify.

Finance Committee Democrat Won’t Read Text of Health Bill (text of bill will not be published)

Fine, you know my response? We won't bother to look up your voting reocord or your positions on the critical issues of the day, WE WILL JUST SIMPLY VOTE FOR YOUR OPPONENT SIGHT UNSEEN.

You won't read, we won't read either.

[Liberty Valance]

It should be against the law to not read or understand a bill before voting on it.

[NonLinear]

Carper described the type of language the actual text of the bill would finally be drafted in as "arcane," "confusing," "hard stuff to understand," and "incomprehensible."

Hey Carper...uh, you guys are writing this stuff. So to whom should we allocate the fault for incomprehensible language? How about actually taking the time to write a coherent piece of legislation?

[guitarplayer1953]

Why do they not write these bills in layman's terms. I would love to see what the bills looked like back in the 1700 when they were farmers and merchants and such before the lawyer class took over government.

“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.

[Anima Mundi]

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.”
