Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) repeatedly criticized Democrats last year for voting on legislation that members didn’t have time to read. "Read the Bill" language was even included in the GOP's Pledge to America to ensure lawmakers would have adequate notice to review legislation.
"Neither members of Congress or the public were given time to read the trillion-dollar stimulus before it passed. Nobody read the cap-and-trade bill. Nobody read the budget. And yet Democrats approved them anyway," Boehner said in a video last year. “Every major bill should be posted online and publicly available for at least 72 hours."

So what? We al know what’s in the bill, more of the same BS. The American people are screwed again, and they don’t even wear condoms.
Let wait and the clock will run out on them.
Let them wait and the clock will run out on them.
I brought this up over the weekend and I could tell he was sniffling back tears while posting an apology on Twitter.
They just had to come up with a quick way to spend more. Be grateful. They just saved the world.
“Situational Ethics”, embraced by both parties!
I think they’ll say the August 2nd deadline was the reason.
Plus, the GOP got almost everything they wanted for 2012 in this bill.
Does Boehner remember what happened to FORMER House Speaker, Tom Foley?
Give him a real reason to weep: primary him out next year.
How many days did Obama wait to sign Obamacare?
A bill posted at 11:59pm on Monday can be voted on 12:01am on Wednesday.
The rule could always be suspended and did not apply to emergency bills. This was discussed over the weekend in another thread.
The House passed "Cut, Cap & Balance."
The House passed the Boehner bill.
The House rejected the Reid bill.
The immoveable deadline is tomorrow.
There was no time left to comply with the "pledge," let along the rule.
Thanks to their obstructionism, Democrats ran the clock out making it IMPOSSIBLE for the GOP not to break this "pledge."
BLAME OBAMA. BLAME REID.
Stop shooting your own side!

I see your other thread was pulled misrepresenting what Sarah said during her intervierw with Gretta. Now, we get to hear you spewing your GOP establishment drivel.
Isn’t it bed time for you yet?
Boehner - a real Boner.
I never been a prepper. However, after today, I decided there is no hope. There is no one fighting for America anymore. I am convinced that it will get much worse very soon.
Are you surprised?
Not all Boners are good.
Let’s pull this one to make certain.
“Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”
They fired the first shot.
I hear ya! And I feel the same way. I would say that amoung the ruling elitists (both socialists (dems) and socialist-lites (repubs)) there is no one fighting for us. I agree it will get much worse and perhaps will never get better. The Bible says that it will get worse & worse in the end times, and I think we are seeing this pending disaster & destruction of our country, unfolding before our eyes.
