What Are They Trying To Hide?
The most transparent Congress evah does not want to put the bills it votes on online 3 days before a vote. Especially not the health care bill.
Senate Finance Committee Democrats have rejected a GOP amendment that would have required a health overhaul bill to be available online for 72 hours before the committee votes.Three days equals weeks? That seems a bit math challenged to me. Considering how hard it is for some Democrats to figure out their taxes why am I not surprised?
Republicans argued that transparency is an Obama administration goal. They also noted that their constituents are demanding that they read bills before voting.
Democrats said it was a delay tactic that could have postponed a vote for weeks.

I read thru your posts and sometimes I dont even know what to say anymore when I here something like this....
cant let us see whats going to change our lives and our nation permanently? for a lousy three days?!
Uh. I didn't say that.
BTW what exactly is your point? I'm a little thick some days before my tenth cup of coffee.
lol drink your coffee simon.
im saying how bummed I am that they can get away with even thinking about passing legislation so monumental without letting us see it, or reading it for a measly three days prior to voting on it.
and that ive run out of commentary on just how pathetic and self serving and screwd up I think our politicians are.
