Flashback: Pelosi Says Not Giving House Members 3 Days to Read Bill Is an "Absolute Outrage" (Video)

“Members can’t even see what they’re voting on…”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in 2005 that not having 3 days to read a bill was an “absolute outrage.”

Via Breitbart and Naked Emporer News

She wasn’t that outraged.
House democrats will vote to ram through their health care bill and swallow one-sixth of the nation’s economy tonight.
It’s 1,990 pages long- Plus an additional couple of hundred pages.
It’s unlikely that anyone has read this bill.

She is lying big time who has time to understand a bill 2000 pages. How much pork was promised to vote on this bill? I am finding out how corrupt this Administration is The President intimidating and threatening members of Congress some of their money promised will be taken away. He intimidates the American public thinking we are stupid and he is superior. so arrogant, people wanted to change but not this kind of change. Unemployment 10.2% I thought he said by passing his stimulus bills it wouldn’t reach it. All jobs he created were Federal do you know how much time it takes to get a federal job then if there is none in your state you have to relocate which is not paid. Plus you get limited benefits no healthcare because it is a temporary position. I am outraged at the corruption involved give us the name of all your czars involved in making all the decisions. Plus you have members of the cabinet who broke so many laws but overlooked. I am tired of it.We need change , but Positive change to make a new America the one being taken away from us

Too bad a representative didn’t have that audio on a small recorder to play into the microphone with a reminder of what happened to the Republican majority the following election.

Jeff Flake to Nancy Pelosi: Strip PMA Group earmarks

[Citing the revelation of an ethics review of senior defense appropriators, a leading House earmark critic has asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to eliminate more than 70 projects — totaling nearly $200 million —- for former clients of a now-defunct lobbying firm with close ties to the powerful lawmakers.

“I respectfully request that all of the no-bid contracts in the form of House earmarks for former clients of PMA be stripped from the pending fiscal year 2010 defense appropriations conference report,” Rep. Jeff Flake wrote to Pelosi (D-Calif.), Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) and the top Republican on the committee, Jerry Lewis (R-Calif.) in a letter released to POLITICO after it was sent. “There is simply no defensible reason to allow no-bid contracts for former clients of a lobby firm embroiled in an ongoing scandal currently under investigation.”

Flake’s request, which refers to earmarks for former clients of the defunct PMA Group lobbying firm, is the first fallout from the revelation on the Washington Post Web site Thursday night that ethics investigators has been looking at the actions of seven of the 16 members of the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, including the five most senior Democrats on the panel and the top Republican, Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.).

The PMA Group, stocked with former employees of defense appropriators, specialized in winning defense-bill earmarks for its clients. A review of the fiscal 2008 defense appropriations bill by the watchdog Taxpayers for Common Sense found nearly $300 million in earmarks for PMA Group clients.]

unfortunately for US, this kind of stuff has been going on for years..

TERM LIMITS would put a bit of dent in
the good ole boys/gals purse snatching!!

It Has Always Been The Soldier

It is the soldier,
not the President who gives us democracy.

It is the soldier,
not the Congress who takes care of us.

It is the soldier,
not the Reporter who has given us Freedom of Press.

It is the soldier,
not the Poet who has given us Freedom of Speech.

It is the soldier,
not the campus [community] Organizer who
has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate.

It is the soldier,
who salutes the flag;
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
that allows the protester to burn the flag.

~ Father Dennis O’Brien, US Marine Corp. Chaplain

God Bless GWB!

God Bless America!

God Bless Soldiers everywhere for putting THEIR
lives on the line to protect us ALL from terrorism!

My, my! What a difference in attitude now
that the shoe’s on the other foot! This woman
is the saddest example of a “representative of
the People” that I have ever seen. She would
stop at nothing to achieve her goals. The
supposed rewards must be fantastic!
