Democrats Lied-Transparency Died
Today the Patriot Flag I’m flying is the First Navy Union Jack Flag. I fly this flag when action has been taken that threatens Liberty in the USA.
Liberty Threatened
Today the Democrats besmirched Liberty once again. With all the promises of legislative transparency, today they voted against legislative transparency … breaking their promises and breaking trust and faith once again with the citizenry of the United States. They promised legislative transparency … and today they proved once again they lied. And here’s their excuse:
“Let’s be honest about it, most people don’t read the legislative language,” Sen. John Kerry said.
Dear Senator Kerry (et al):
You think we don't know?
Don’t you realize WE ARE STRUGGLING through the legislative gobbledygook you people are putting into the legislation. We are reading the bills and its a damned good thing we are! What the HELL do you think the Tea Parties are about, you dolt? Why do you think 1.756,000 people came to DC , to just take a walk down Pennsylvania Avenue? No, what you are seeing is our REACTION to reading the legislative crap you and your minions are trying to get passed BEFORE we can read it.
And its a good thing we are reading it … or we’d have a Health Care bill already enacted wouldn’t we? (The President wanted the bill approved before the August recess … why was that, so we couldn’t read it?) The health care bill was a piece of legislation that was totally flawed and a bill that even YOU PEOPLE cannot agree on … uh … that is now that you’ve read it! Such Democrat “arrogance” is far over the line. All this does is continue to solidify our thoughts and our platform to change things in 2010 … just to get rid of the arrogance!
From Philip Klein:
The Bunning amendment would have required the committee to have the legislative language of the bill, along with the CBO cost estimate, posted on the internet for 72 hours before a vote.
Democrats argued that waiting for the legislative language to be written, and for the CBO to evaluate it, would needlessly delay the process by weeks.
“Let’s be honest about it, most people don’t read the legislative language,” Sen. John Kerry said.
The Bunning amendment was defeated by a 12 to 11 vote, with Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln the only Democrat voting in favor.
As for Congress, “these people” are not more intelligent than we are out here. Most of “these people” (like Kerry) haven’t ever had a “real” job like you and I have. A job that demanded we produce and meet our goals or we would be (and often have been) summarily FIRED! To have the arrogance to say that we are not capable of understanding the “legislative language” demonstrates how out of touch Kerry is with “those of us out here in America.” What a lame excuse for trying to ramrod legislation through without the American People being able to read it.
If you are a Democrat, is this what you voted for? Did you vote for bills, written in a language difficult to understand, that you want to “rush through” the process so the American People don’t even get a chance to read it? Is this what you really want? Because if you do, then you are actually seeking a dictatorship … a form of government that does not involve the freedom, liberty and will of its citizenry.
And I’m not the only one…
Rasmussen 9/23/2009 – Fifty-nine percent (59%) of U.S. voters believe that the current level of political anger in the country is higher than it was when George W. Bush was president.
Message from 1,756,000 people marching on DC,
Hey Senator Kerry . . . . .
Senator, Can you hear us now?
PS … yes this is the same John Kerry that just slipped a $20 million earmark to the defense bill:
The earmark, tucked into the defense bill at the request of Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts, requires US taxpayers to help the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate realize its goal of building a repository for Kennedy’s papers and an accompanying civic learning center on the University of Massachusetts at Boston campus in Dorchester, next to the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum. (The Lid)
