It’s official. The Democratic Congress is Insane.
CNS tells a horror story that scares the piss out of me.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that the health-care reform bill now pending in Congress would garner very few votes if lawmakers actually had to read the entire bill before voting on it.
“If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes,” Hoyer told CNSNews.com at his regular weekly news conference.
Hoyer was responding to a question from CNSNews.com on whether he supported a pledge that asks members of the Congress to read the entire bill before voting on it and also make the full text of the bill available to the public for 72 hours before a vote.
In fact, Hoyer found the idea of the pledge humorous, laughing as he responded to the question. “I’m laughing because a) I don’t know how long this bill is going to be, but it’s going to be a very long bill,” he said.
I see. Other people read the bills. Um. That’s what we elect Representatives for, Mr. Hoyer.
It’s very simple. If a bill is too complicated for our Representatives to read (much less actually understand), it is too complicated to be a law.
Think about it. The law is so cumbersome these Democratic asswipes can’t even read it! They can’t even read it. Yet, Democrats want to allow the government to enforce the law on the citizenry.
That is quite simply insane. In-freakin’-sane.
