Republicans ramming bill through without reading it

"I don't think any individual has read the whole bill," Garrett said. "That's why we have staff."

GOP congressman on Obamacare replacement: 'I don't think any individual has read the whole bill'

Once again folks, everything these hypocrites whine and wail about, they do themselves worse.

 

[washamericom]

you have to read the bill before you can see it.

 

[Auld Phart]

Wonder if Pelosi read it before she turned up her nose on it?

 

[blackhawk]

Is this form of hypocrisy any worse than that of those who didn't care when the Democrats did the same thing but do now? It's amazing how when one side accuses the other of hypocrisy they seem to think there own hypocrisy has been magically forgotten by everyone.

If we start expecting our "leaders" to read bills before they vote on them, they'll NEVER have time to fund-raise.

Why wonder? She didn't read ACA. Why would she read this one?

At least some of the Republicans actually wrote this bill. Still sucks but still

Hey, don't you know that fund-raising is the most important part of their damn job!?!

Sure governing should be, but who cares about doing real work when you can rub elbows with stars instead and raise money for your next run for office?

VH/aka will,,, the bill stinks ,,even your own senate knows that

 

[toobfreak]

Silly you. Lots of those in the GOP know full well what's in the bill because they WROTE IT. Then they went around explaining it as needed to the others. When the Dems did Obamacare, NONE of the Dems had any idea because it was all put together by an outside third party! I forget who headed it, but he was the guy who got into trouble because he was caught on tape laughing at how stupid and gullible the public was. Remember?

GOP lawmaker admits not reading 'every word' of healthcare bill

We all remember Nancy Pelosi famously saying that they needed to pass Obamacare to know what was in it, but now we have those in the GOP admitting to not reading their health care law as well

I reckon cuz it's not important enough to read.

However, the health care law is not the news of the day. I have no idea what it says but can pretty much predict it will cost you more and cover less. The GOP did not repeal Obamacare, they just tweaked it a bit.

Enough!

The news of the day was that Texas became the 11th state to join the Article V movement to amend the Constitution. States should determine their own health care, like many already have like MA.

Maybe those in the state legislatures around the country have the time to read their own health care laws.

If I were not a honest man I would have been a politician...

They should all be thrown out of D.C. but alas Americans would just vote another group of Charlatans in and nothing will change...

Neither party reads their legislation it seems. It's all about "getting things done" and passing major pieces of legislation to hang their hats on.

Enough of this!

Texas became the 11th state to join the Article V movement. We only need 2/3 of the votes and we can begin to clean house in the US federal Congress by first passing a term limit amendment. Hopefully, other states like MA will take up the mantle of health care and deal with it themselves. That way conservative states and liberal states can do as they please instead of one or the other wanting to secede from the union every election cycle.

You're not really surprised by that, are you?

This is about politics, not what's good for anyone. National politicians base virtually every vote, bill, comment and action on how it will affect them politically.

It's a shame that there are people who think national politicians are altruistic.

This is about fundraising, re-election and building a long term electoral power base to stay in office forever, yet somehow that screamingly obvious fact gets past those who don't want term limits.

Term limits, publicly-funded elections and a Balanced Budget Amendment would change their behavior, overnight.

But evidently their behavior is just fine for most of us. What's more important is how Kim Kardashian is feeling today.

Of course they didn't read it. They're useless turds who simply do what they're told to do.
