Just another clear example of the accusation that the Republican Party has become the Party of 'NO'! Good thing it didn't occur at the same time that the Democratic Party was the Party of 'I DON'T KNOW'! It's all just plain mindnumbing!

So a collective group who has no idea what they are opposing is just fine and dandy with you? We truly do deserve to go the way of the Soviet Union... Into the mists of history!

BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY! THERE IS NO INTELLIGENT LIFE HERE!

Have you read the bill? If not, then why are you commenting on it?

Of course this guy was not smart. But if we gave intelligence to ONLY people who read the bill, then I'd be the smartest person in the room. At least he was honest, and didn't try to BS the crowd, so I'll give him that.

HR3200. Was written in November of 2008. The "other" bills are the senates versions that they threw out to obfuscate the issue as to who read what.

To be fair John Conyers asks why read the bill?



This is the problem you run into on both sides of the spectrum when you have bills being written by special interests, banks and groups like the damn Apollo Alliance. Maybe if our so-called law-makers actually spent time writing the bills instead of being bribed to vote one way or another, the people wouldn't be getting screwed all the time.

If you're going to toe the party line at least do it intelligently (Inhofe, not SD ).

I read everything Capitol Hill passes that way I know what I do and do not like and can speak on it intelligently.

Wow, what a concept, actually reading the damn bill.

I read the entire Bailout Package and understood every bit of it.
(guess what, it's a scam on America)

Not enough people actually read what is passed into law.

Flagged, starred, and D.I.G.G.'ed

Senator Inhofe as a child : Mommy, I don't like brussel sprouts.

Mommy Inhofe : How do you know that son?

Senator Inhofe as a child : Because they're green and green is the enemy, mommy.

Mommy Inhofe : Would you at least try them son?

Senator Inhofe as a child : NO! And I'm gonna be a Senitar some day and outlaw brussel sprouts.

Seems like Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, and all around genius, gets all he needs to know about one of the most significant pieces of legislation in US history from public opinion and the "media" ...

At a town hall meeting Wednesday Sen. Jim Inhofe told Chickasha residents he does not need to read the 1,000 page health care reform bill, he will simply vote against it.

"I don't have to read it, or know what's in it. I'm going to oppose it anyways," he said.

Inhofe said public opinion and information provided by news media have helped him become a staunch non-supporter of the bill.

Well there you have it ...

Not only he doesn't need to read it, he doesn't even need to know WHAT"S IN IT to oppose it.

If that isn't a microcosm of everything that's wrong with this debate I don't know what is.

Congratulations Inhofe, you made Okies proud.

Yes he did by understanding as a Representative of the state of Oklahoma and its people he should vote as his constituents would want him to! That's is what his job is.

What the others don't comprehend is they work for the people who live in their state.

First, I'm not commenting on any Healthcare Bill, but on a member of the Senate who blatantly refuses to read said Bill(s). Once they have one bill (the Bill you mentioned might provide a basic framework to the final Bill, it is not a final draft) I will most certainly take the time to read it. At this time, I am neither for or against it. I do believe, however, that something has to be done. Hopefully the collection of Jackholes who inhabit Congress will not frak this up! But my hopes are not too high on that one!

I've read it. I do presentations, contracts with lots of legal ease many times a week.
That bill is a complete piece of trial lawyer crap.
It is nothing but back doors, open doors, and redirects.

You sign a contract like that, and I'll have you out of your home, car before dark.

HR3200 WAS the final bill. It was the one the House of Representatives voted on. When the senate saw the reaction to wee little folk reading it, they experienced a severe pucker factor and started to create other versions. If this was a rough draft, then why have the final version done in November of LAST YEAR?

What all the debate is on now, is HR3200.
