Hey dems: READ THE BILLS

You've seen videos of an alligator being caught with a rope, haven't you? Upon being caught, the gator twists violently. That's the prez and the other democrats now. They are twisting and turning trying to get out of the mess they are in. And what is holding the other end of the rope? No, it is not the republicans. It is the law, Obamacare. The democrats (and not one republican) passed a law that none of them had read. They trusted the creators of this thing. The creators were university professors and other socialist-leaning people. Their goal was to gain absolute control over each American life under the assumption that "We can make their life better."

I blame the mess they are in on one group of Americans. I blame all who did not read it.

The senators and representatives did not read the bill and did not have their aides analyze any part of it. The bill had over 2800 pages. Remember Rep Conyers saying that you would have to have several days to read it and a team of lawyers to understand what was in it?

The media did not read the bill, yet they supported it. They supported their favorite team. They assumed their team certainly could do no wrong with this bill.

Some people read it (at least in part) and turned against it. Check out my posts from 2009.
When anyone spoke against it, those who had not read it resorted to name calling and generalities. "It will cover the 30 million people without insurance." "No one will be denied coverage." "We can all get ...free and free...." "They are radicals." "They are the far right." They claimed the 30 million were unable to get insurance. The truth was that only some of those were unable to get insurance. Many chose not to be insured.

What else are they not reading?

The immigration bill is nearly 1200 pages. Did the senators read it or just pass it? Here's what Luis Gutierrez says: “We are looking for a piece of legislation that meets the needs of a 21st century economy, and at the same time renews the American commitment to the dignity and capacity of people living and working within our borders and the indelible right to humane and equal treatment under the law—not just one that is politically viable.” 

Well, that sums up 1200 pages in such a way that I would vote for it...NOT.

The dormant global warming bill (HB2454) has nearly 1000 pages. I know none of them have read that. They are just told that is what their party wants, so PASS IT.  Fortunately, Obamacare sidetracked that. But remember, the prez has signed an E O  and formed a committee. He's doing an end run to get that job done.

To all the elected officials in D C: READ THE BILLS. Then tell us, without the feel good language, what is in it, what it does, what it doesn't do, what it prevents, what it allows and what it costs.
We will tell you how to vote for us, the people you represent.
