I have a bill that I would like Congress to pass without reading it.

“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

lol

He's been a Congressman for 44 years ... and it's clear that he has now fully evolved to become the prototypical politician.

He votes for a law he has not read and then has the audacity to try and force me to obey it. What an idiot. I'm with Gretta if they don't read them then we don't need them.

Unreal ! Isn't he in some tax scandal too and his wife faces corruption charges?

If "What's the point of reading a bill." is true - then -

so is

"What's the point of having a representative."

If the preening peacocks in congress don’t read this stuff, then they clearly don’t write it. So where does it come from? In as much as the laws are not written by our representatives, who writes them?

Apparently this is standard operating procedure for this august body. How can we consider anything they have produced as legitimate much less law? It is no wonder that illegal’s can sign up for social security, welfare and Pell Grants. This is why our civil liberties are being stripped away. This is why Wall Street and the banking class have been allowed to rape and pillage Middle America. This is why we all are poorer.

We need to break the backs of both parties. We need to vote all of these rascals out. We need to replace them with people who can actually read.

The bills in Congress are written by Pelosi and her staff and the staff of the House democratic leadership, and often are given to the Congress at the very last minute so no one has time to read them.

For instance, the recent "cap and trade" bill pushed through the House saw Pelosi's staff add another 300 pages at 3 in the morning on the day of the vote---the republicans asked for a delay in the vote so they could actually read the bill before voting on it, but the democrats used their complete control of the House to pass it through on a party-line vote without reading it.

Even my "My Pet Goat?" As I recollect he was just mouthing the pictures. As the World Trade Centers collapsed.

Folks. Not to intrude on any of your short-sighted myopic little world-views but Georgy was President 6 months ago. This will remain Georgie's problem until he is cold and emtombed in the floor of some vanity quote (fingers making quote signs) (cough cough) library (cough cough) closed quote.

What would Georgie's vanity library actually contain. Picture books?

I understand that the left got off in insinuating that Bush was too thick to read and understand what he was signing. Now the left is simply revealing that it is too arrogant to read the laws they write and pass.

Which is worse? Either way we wind up in the same place.
