Unreal. Congressman Barton pointing out that current bill is missing 300 pages and he is asking if they can actually vote on a bill that is not present.

Mod update, see reply #7.

Worse and worse. And yes, you are right, I was imprecise. He introduced the amendment in the form of a substitute to H.R. 2998, which incorporates a number of amendments that no one had read today except for his staff, and which further clouds the legislation. It was accepted. But my point is, Waxman posted it on the committee website and everyone was forced to fend for themselves at the last minute.

The real truth is if Congress votes for this bill or any other bill by Obama and Co.; they will have given up their own power.

I am trying but the amount of crap that this administration and their surrogate Congress get away with without a peep from our so called News Orgs gets depressing!

We’ve seen govts like this in action before- in banana republics. Maybe congress needs a new logo featuring a BIG BANANA.

I heard Roscoe Bartlett said his calls were running 50-50 for this bill.

50% saying no, 50% saying HELL NO.

It's H.R. 2454 ... there are two versions of this bill.  Google is your friend.  All you need to search for is Waxman-Markey Climate Change.  If you can't find it.  The least you can do is ask FGS.

The remaining thug 14 are going to be shucking and jiving like there is no tomorrow. Imagine the promises to vote yes, unless it really comes down to it, “cause it might cost me the election” nonsense. Could be a long time for those votes to come in. Everybody is going to be checking to see who in a “safe district” hasn’t voted yet!

Sounds like standard procedure in the Dem controlled House. It goes a little further than the Stimulus. At least in that case they had the Fig Leaf of having given the Reps a copy of the 1,000 page plus bill the night before the vote.

I guess they want to save printing costs since the result is the same - Bills passed with all sorts of Pork and Corruption.

Just maybe the Fascists are wrong and the frog (we, the poor saps)will jump out of the pot before cooking. If the American spirit is alive in at least 10% of the hearts of the citizenry there is still hope.

Think again..if you have a small house it will be $200 to $300 per household. Plus, gas will top out at $10 per gallon (which is what they want..)

I meant 70-100 a month. I know people right now who cannot find 10 extra dollars a month. Better get our bike chains oiled up.

And it was correctly pointed out that if the 300 pages are not put in the correct order in the bill, it will be taken out of context. Sickening.

For the rest of Barton’s speech the satelite muted and started working fine again right when they said “Speaker from California who got to speak for 13 minutes as opposed to Barton’s 5.
