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] dont know, cause they havent seen the bill either, Boehner said.
The American people have a right to know whats 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. Well see if the Democrats keep their word.

Greta & Newt are discussing this now...she is asking him how many have even read the bill. Greta is not digging Barry at all. She said she finds it arrogant of the WH for their trying to make Barry into Abe Lincoln after only three weeks in office.
Sort of how Lenin and his thugs ran things way back when.

Only seven versions on Thomas- the new version is not up. Maybe after 9 PM there will be the new version?
I think Carl Cameron is spreading that rumour!
Well it didn’t take them long after they came out with the line of WE WON to break the promise of a tranparent administration. So much for change. I know us here didn’t buy the koolaid they were selling but so many did.
If the Republicans were smart, which I doubt, they would lie just like the Dems do. Let the Marxists think they have the vote for passage and then the Republicans deny it on the floor.
Oh, you are brave...I hit the remote quickly. ;)
I’m afraid you’re right. We’re becoming the united socialist states of amerika- the USSA.

That was moi. FReeper Venturer posted the info on another thread. Do tell!
OMG, the smell! The combustion from all that hot air. Our climate would be irreparably damaged forever. Remember cows are the cause of most emissions. Hah!
Agreed.
The House rules require that all conference reports (which is how the bill will be reported to the floor) be made publicly available for 48 hours before consideration.
The only thing Transparent about this administration is that we can all see the lying crooks in action and no one seems to be able to stop them. They don’t care about the country or the people anymore, if they ever did. They hold all the cards now and half of America put them in that place. This country is run by thieves and their gang name is “Democrat Politicians.” It is getting worse every day and we are only 3 weeks into Obama’s term. I am sick.
Gossip Girl at it again, aye?
That report was bothering me, too. I just heard guest with Roger Hedgecock speculate that all Republican reps will vote against and maybe 15 or so bluedogs will cross to vote against. I wonder if that is where the “15 House Republicans” report comes from. (wish wish)
