Looks like you failed to get the essence of the We the Congress point. We have a representative Republic. That does not mean Congress gets to shove mandated health insurance down our throats because a group of Socialists want it.
I guess kinda like how we stood up to the bank bailout....oh wait. Last time I checked, none of us get to cast our vote on legislation.
I'm quite aware that we elect representatives, but that doesn't mean they must do what we want.
We are allowed to elect officials who then decide what's best for us. How lucky are we?!
Sure, we can choose to not re-elect them, but they will simply be replaced by more Masters.

Honestly those are disgusting. The caricature is racist itself and most of what is written (and misspelled) is untrue. This is not free speech as much as it is libel and defamation.

Would Plato roll over in his grave if he saw Nancy Pelosi say you'd have to pass a bill before you get to read what's in it?edit on 25-8-2011 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)
Umm... no. The accentuated ears, lips, teeth and noise coupled with the reduced cranial dome is classic racism. It is designed to make him look like a chimp or sub-human.

Why add earmarks into a bill? Oh wait, the left is perfect at that, after all, have to pay off the people that got us into office.

Hmm......
I think you may be a little out of your element because your statement doesn't seem relevant. I've read your comments and it seems like you're trying to put me on a particular side of the political fence so you can then argue with me.
Regardless, Plato could care less if any of us commoners got to see legislation.

Yah, sorta like Obama suggesting to people hypnotically that a light would shine down on them and they would have an epiphany and they would have to vote for Barack!!!!!!!

The fog of controversy has nothing to do with demanding Congress pass a bill without seeing it first. That was just Nancy's particular form of obfuscation, because you see she wanted to hide what was truly in the bill.
Of the 788 amendments filed, 67 came from Democrats and 721 from Republicans.
Only 197 amendments were passed in the end—36 from Democrats and 161 from Republicans.

Again, you are out of your element and either not reading, or not comprehending, what I'm writing.
