Woodward: 'Absurd' to pass unread immigration bill
World Net Daily ^ | June 23, 2013

Posted on 06/24/2013 6:13:19 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

(BREITBART) — Legendary Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward criticized the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill process, and the new rush to pass the repackaged bill with the amendment.

Woodward added that “when you pass complicated legislation and no one has really read the bill” then “the outcome is absurd.”

Passing unread bills seems to be a popular idea in Washington.
The system need a complete overhaul, the government doesn’t serve the people, the people serve the government and it won’t
get better any time soon.

Do we really need a "new" immigration bill or is it just an excuse to for billions in pork?

They keep saying immigration is broken.
The administration is the one breaking it. Their catch and release policy, selective enforcement, prosecutorial discretion, and whatever other legalistic sounding abuses of power they can come up with are the reason for the illegal immigration mess. It is Washington's (intentional) policy not to enforce the existing laws.

The public is being manipulated in order to fleece the taxpayer. That is the real industry in Washington.

Once again the 0bama regime and the dims want to rush through a bill without reading it, and apparently the public will let them get away with it. They learned nothing from 0bamascare!

You have to ask yourself, "why the rush?" unless it contains something that would stop it dead in it's tracks.

It's past time to get out the pitchforks and the guillotines!

The guy has been quiet as a church mouse under Clinton and Obama.

Look up fraud in Webster’s and you’ll likely see a picture of this ass.

The Quisling in the middle was at least named Quisling and had the decency to later stand before a firing squad at Akershus Castle and not deny that he was a Quisling.

"Legendary Washington Post journalist" Bob Woodward is certainly a johnny-come-lately when it comes to corruption.

Yeah. I know. He exposed Nixon's. But that must have scratched whatever itch corruption was giving him, because he slept through far worse corruption and downright criminal activity by subsequent U.S. Presidents--without even the itch to expose them.

Now he seems to have awakened to the shock that Congress is passing sweeping legislation it has not even read! and--possibly--to the realization that corruption far worse than anything Nixon ever even considered is rampant in Washington.

Who knows? Woodward might even awaken to the realization that U.S. "journalism" and "journalists" are more dishonest and corrupt than Woodward considered Nixon to be!

But the only thing "legendary" about Woodward is a possible resemblance to Rip Van Winkel.
