      I know. I keep telling her to go away. But she is afraid that there are thousands of DU Utes out there. And it scares the hell out of her. So she settles for next to worst.

        I suspect that the vast majority (I'll go with >90%) of congressional votes, pro and con, are cast without the congressperson having read the bill from start to finish. That's what the hundreds of legislative assistants on the Hill are for. In fact, I'd have serious concerns about a congressperson who read every bill from beginning to end.
        Wow. I have never heard this argument before. Is it really unreasonable to expect my elected representatives to read every piece of legislation they vote on? How much reading are we talking about here?

        Are you just as okay with Congress not reading the
        Patriot Act before voting it into law in 2001?

        How much power are these aides being given?

          I read enough of the literature to determine a good deal or not. Apparently you and the congress don't.

          OK, this may require you to think:

          What do you like about the current healthcare legislation? What bothers you the most (if anything)?

              California Dreaming at its finest. And you wonder why California is in the shape its in? Ever heard of another state issuing IOUs to their workers.

                I don't have to read it to know I don't like it. Nancy Pelosi and those of her persuasion put it together.

                I would like to hear more about the one I think Senators Wyden (sp) and Bennett are co-sponsoring.

                      You are one angry man! Get some counseling.

                      You brought up Larry Craig. I brought up Barney Frank. Now you're calling people Nazi's? Talk about a piece......

                        I'm not sure how you draw the conclusion that your reading and research are sufficient to make a good decision, yet the hundreds of Congressional staffs, both Republican and Democrat, are not capable of doing the same ?

                        You damn people for the same sin of omission you commit on a daily basis. That is unless you claim to read every disclosure, waiver, and fine-print document that has, and will ever, cross your path.

                        It is a good start. I lean towards allowing States to adopt their own policies and plans under broad federal guidelines.

                          My reading or lack thereof, doesn't affect millions of people. I would like to think that if they are voting on the largest entitlement in history, they just might want to be informed instead of voting party line. You don't?

                              Again, your premise is based on YOUR assumption that they aren't informed.

                                Show me a post where I spew racial hatred. And there is no Barney Frank in congress who is gay? You're delusional if you think you can mindread.

                                Calling a homosexual a fag? It's pretty clear which one of us is a bigot.
