SURPRISE! Dems Break Promise: Stimulus Bill to Floor Friday
Human Events ^ | 02/12/2009 | Connie Hair

Posted on 02/12/2009 6:51:09 PM PST by cc2k

In a press conference Thursday, the House Republican leadership spoke candidly about being kept out of the House-Senate conference on the Obama-Pelosi-Reid so-called “economic stimulus” bill. They confirmed they had not yet seen the text of the bill as of 4 p.m.

<SNIP> The fact that the Demos have now broken their promise to have the public able to see the bill for 48 hours may drive more Dems into the Republican camp.

“[I] don’t know, ‘cause they haven’t seen the bill either,” Boehner said.

“The American people have a right to know what’s in this bill,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told HUMAN EVENTS after the press conference. “Every member of Congress -- Republicans and Democrats -- voted to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours, 48 hours ago. We’ll see if the Democrats keep their word.”

It’s time, people. Go buy yourselves some really comfortable sneakers, make your posters, and hit the streets.

Those animals aren’t listening anymore. They’re so puffed up with themselves they think we’ll take this without a whimper

“Said no one is listening to the people.”

He’s got that right. 99 - 1 Americans told Congress to vote NO!, but they totally disrespect us.

“They DO NOT want us to see what is in the bill !!! -— in fact they don’t even want the members of congress who have to vote for or against the PORK to know what is in it !! —— so much for OBAMA’s “transparency “

Hurry up and get it done. The voters be darned. The voters need to remember this on Election days.

I’ve heard 7-1 but guess it depends on what office.

This is a warmup for more. And next time Shamnesty will be shoved all the way down our throats no doubt too.

It appears Cao learned nothing from his family’s repression at the hands of communism.

As was said this evening on Fox, what’s in this bill will slowly leak out and people will be horrified. And it’ll all be on Zero and the Dems. And we have a great soundbite of Pelosi saying what a great accomplishment this is for Zero.

Senate Rule XXVIII, paragraph 9, IIRC.

Thank you for the link.

I do not believe that Majority Leader Reid has had the time to read the rules.

Even if he had the time; he simply forgot, did not understand, president Bush's fault, AGW, believes in nothing except power....democrat.

SURPRISE? The Dems are flim-flam artists and thieves. No surprise there.

Back when I mentioned a tax revolt, I was shouted down.

Listen, the tax protests ARE DEFINITELY COMING. People are asking lawyers who fear this bill also to work pro bono to defend the tax revolters.

Do we have standing now to kick some butt?

What an oxymoron. “Surprise” and “Dems break promise” in the same headline.

If this thing even has a chance to pass I don’t think Obama will be reelected, if just because this shows that elections will not be needed anymore.

“WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao, R-New Orleans, said Wednesday he is likely to vote for the economic stimulus bill when it comes to a vote, probably today or Friday, even if he is the only Republican member of the House to do so.

Being from New Orleans, you'd think he'd have first-hand knowledge of what really happens when the Federal Government doles out billions of dollars.

Billions of dollars and years later, is New Orleans "stimulated?"

Apparently not.
