Joe Wilson: Nancy Pelosi's House

More gimmickry from the Republican-Libertarian fringe. Wilson wants transparency, but where was it when his narrow-minded fringe had control of The House? Did Getrich offer it ? Did Livingston suggest it? Did Delay champion it !!? Not one of those retarded Republicans championed transparency, until President Obama enters our White House. Then, lo and behold, they are mouthing transparency, fair debate and all of the other elements of democracy. I guess they can now go out and post that banner again: " Mission Accomplished ". Again, the banner is trying to fool the voters. Not this time, boys and girls, your lying isn't going anywhere, this time !! You had your chance and you dug a crater for America and President Obama and Vice-President Biden will get us out of that hole, which the Bush&Cheney fringe's legacy has left America !! Stop with the gimmicks and discuss the issues, if the Republican-Linbertarian Party can. You have done America a great disservice, first, with the election of the incompetent Bush&Cheney, not once, but twice, and second with your assault upon America, at the behest of the bloodsucking Corporations !! I hope, in the coming months, all of you will come to your right minds, for the sake of our great country, America.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

"To remedy this, my Republican colleagues have introduced legislation requiring Nancy Pelosi to post all major legislation online for a minimum of 72 hours before it can be brought to a vote,'' he writes. "While this seems like common sense, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have continually rushed major legislation to a vote to ensure little to no public scrutiny. This means, you as a taxpaying citizen, cannot read the legislation before your representatives vote on it. ''

1. Was it any less "common sense" when the Republicants ran the House and the rest of the Federal Government? The system of internet tubes was installed at least a dozen years ago.

2. It shows remarkable restraint by this fool to not refer to the "Democrat Party" in his statement. That's usually the intellectual apex of any statement by a Republican office holder.

3. I say go: let's post it all.

You are off your rocker Don. Without a shred of truth in your comments, very much the opposite, you always rock your ranting and raving stance against BUSH? Do you ever take what's happening in today's world and digest it without the BUSH salt and vinegar of hate? BUSH GONE - OBAMA DA MAN NOW!

Today's Congress, not the Congress of three years ago of which you rant, has not followed through on the Obama campaign promise of transparency. Can there ever be a spark of intelligence in your tiny brain? Get in the here and now donny boy.

You distort a complete and accurate account of TODAY"S events and consitantly turn them into eight years of Bush blather, what a sad sack of *%#! you truely are.

Now, back to the actual story as reported about Pelosi and her band of thugs who refuse to provide TRANSPARENCY as promised! Her response and that of her thug minions was this, The American people couldn't understand the language of the proposed legislation, therefore, it would be silly to post it on the internet for their consumption, review and comments.

Gee Donny boy, you may not have the 6th grade education needed to read legislation but the rest of the American public can certainly read.

SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY, BRING IT TO THE PUBLIC AS PROMISED, TRUTHFUL AND WHOLE. NOW.

Now, there's a rant for ya Don!

If you go to WhiteHouse.org you can read all sorts of stuff on health care reform.

All I know, is that it's benefits enrollment time at my company. Employees are now required to answer about our health history for the insurance company or we will be charged $300 more per month. I question why I have to disclose my medical history to my insurance company - God knows the only reason they want this information is to deny claims or point out pre-existing conditions that they will refuse to cover. The company has taken away medical resources and the employees will be charged even more for even less coverage in 2010.

This just can't continue. At this rate what will our children have as "insurance"/medical care? It's too expensive, it's too complicated - stop believing anyone who tells you that American has a good health care system. Ours is one of the worst. So much waste. We must have reform! Something has to change - and don't tell me it's going to be more expensive. It continues to get more expensive every single year... that argument just doesn't fly... I am happy to pay more if I get more... PERIOD.

A related item from the Washigtom Examiner:

"A proposal by Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., that would have required the Senate Finance Committee to post the final language of the $900 billion health care reform bill, as well as a Congressional Budget Office cost analysis, on the committee’s website for 72 hours prior to a vote was rejected 12-11.

Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., was the only Democrat to side with Bunning. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, who is not a member of the Finance Committee, said she also supported Bunning’s proposal.

Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., himself admitted that “This probably sounds a little crazy to some people that we are voting on something before we have seen legislative language.” Indeed.

Baucus’ excuse - that it would take his committee staff two weeks to post the bill online – sounds a little crazy too. "

The nerve of those Republicans! Actually asking that people have time to read the bill they vote on!

I think the Republicans actually have a good idea here. Posting the legislation will enable the public to judge for themselves which party's spin about the bills is most accurate. And when the Republicans next retake control of Congress, which they inevitabley will do given our government's see-saw power changes, under their own rules they won't be able to "rush major legislation to a vote" - the very thing they accuse the Democrats of doing.

Joe Wilson was rude and suffered the consequences.

This is common sense legislation that should be adopted.

The failure of Congress to allow the media and the public to review what they propose is not right.
Rushing legislation to the floor at 2:00 AM and demanding a vote is not transparency and leads to corruption. This is when earmarks are hidden in bills and many times this is when our elected public officials get themselves caught up in the legal system.

Nancy Pelosi should embrace this legislation and pass it into law.

We haven't heard yet from Nancy about those violent, leftist protesters in Pittsburgh so near POTUS.

I'm sure she has some crocodile tears and stories of fearful memories to share with us. I'm sure she'll be making a public statement soon. Right?

Apparently Wilson and his Republican cohorts are also pushing a bill to make Pelosi and co. keep any bill related to health care, online for 30 days. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/12043618/Bill-to-Force-House-to-Put-Any-Major-Healthcare-Bill-Online-for-30-Days

Call me a pessimist, but I feel like this has nothing to do with transparency and everything to do with putting the brakes on health care reform, which now seems imminent.

There's also the fact that HR3200 was online for weeks and people still believed there was a provision in it about killing old people.

Stay Classy REPUBLICANS!

It's looking like some Glenn Beckian Teabaggers murdered a census worker in Kentucky on.....9/12.

The Republican party is not only shrinking, it's becoming violently fascist on the way down.

The Wingnuts lost the last election because they tanked our economy by giving tax cuts to the richest 1%, starting two wars (one of them, Iraq, based on lies), torturing and committing war crimes in our name.

There was no mistake made, the Repug party was told to go pound sand by the American people. And now they're acting like crazy stalkers who can't handle rejection.

If the Republicans ever pull the wool over the eyes of the American public again and get someone into the White House, they had better not try to trade on "the dignity of the office" and "respect for the Commander in Chief." We've already seen what they REALLY think of the presidency.

Here's the real reason behind Joe "the heckler" Wilson's outburst during Pres Obama's speech to Congress.

We haven't heard yet from Mitch McConnell and John Boehner about those violent, right wing domestic terrorists who murdered Dr Tiller in Kansas and murdered a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in DC yet.

I'm sure they have some crocodile tears and stories of fearful memories to share with us. I'm sure they'll be making a public statement soon. Right?

Here we go again with the petulant children who make up the "leadership" of the Republican party crying and accusing Democrats of not doing something.....that they themselves didn't do when they were the majority.

Save the tears Wingnuts, no one cares.

The American people couldn't understand the language of the proposed legislation, therefore, it would be silly to post it on the internet for their consumption, review and comments.Gee Donny boy, you may not have the 6th grade education needed to read legislation but the rest of the American public can certainly read.

Hey Dusty Springfield,

It's not our fault that you Wingnutters can't count or spell.

Sounds like that home schooling program that mommy ran for you failed miserably.

While the rest of us out here in the real world were learning Science and Math etc, you Wingnut cretins were being taught about how Jesus rode a dinosaur and how the Earth is flat.

"While the rest of us out here in the real world were learning Science and Math etc, you Wingnut cretins were being taught about how Jesus rode a dinosaur and how the Earth is flat."

Chuckling. . . :-p

The Left doesn't want the public to read the ObamaCare bill. The Left doesn't even want Dem senators to read the bill. Just vote for it.

What are they afraid of?????

Gimmicks and snake-oil are the best we can expect from the Republican-Libertarian fringe and all under the Big Top: " MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ". Thanks, boys and girls, who gave America, The Inept Ones, Cheney&Bush, you really know how to hurt a nation !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

This has to win an award for dumbest, most anti-Christian pile of stupidity ever spouted by a hating, leftist wacko:

"While the rest of us out here in the real world were learning Science and Math etc, you Wingnut cretins were being taught about how Jesus rode a dinosaur and how the Earth is flat."

Chuckling. . . :-p

Dude, your "real world" needs some time off the ganja. Maybe if you think about it, unstoned, it won't be so funny.

My last comment was for Grumpy.

Which one of you cannot understand my name?

He's just

JOE MCCARTHY LITE.

The comments psoted here seem as if they are representative, for the most part, as if from some very immature children.

I hope that adults are not responsible for these comments. If so, then America is much worse off than I had first thought.
