Then don't vote on it... duh...
Sad that common sense so easily eludes our nation's legislators.

Well then what do we need “representatives” for? If everyone who votes, doesn’t need to read and understand everything they vote on, we the people could do that, we don’t need a middleman.

“Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted on Thursday that none of his Senate colleagues would “have the chance” to read the entire final version of the $790-billion stimulus bill before the bill comes up for a final vote in Congress.”
Ya’ think???? Thank you Captain Obvious. Then how ‘bout you don't VOTE for it until you've had time to read the fine print — isn't that what you're whipping up on all the people who signed for mortgages they couldn't afford and a credit they couldn't maintain? DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT TAKE A LESSON — NOT FROM ANCIENT HISTORY, EINSTEIN, BUT FROM TWO MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!
Do you think you might have enough brain cells still firing to form the word, “No,” and not just “no,” but “Hell, no!!!” Of course not...their all as dumb as they look and corrupt as we think.

I was venting — that’s, “They’re are all as dumb as they look...”

They could place the telephone book into the record and these idiots would stand up and vote for it.

I doubt anyone would have read it even if they did have a chance. To paraphrase Obama: “When was the last time a bill got passed where anyone actually read what they were voting for?”

Here we are told that we overreached on our credit cards because we didn’t read the fine print, our interest rate went up because we didn’t read the fine print, our car loans were unaffordable because we didn’t read the fine print we are in so much trouble financially cause we didn’t read the fine print...I guess these guys are just typical American citizens. They’re just one of us:) (sarc.)

How is it possible that the rules to have the full bill read before the vote be avoided? I thought the Senate rules were that if a single senator asked to have it read, it must be read.
Has the senate altered its rules? Who is holding a gun to the head of all the senators so nobody requests the reading?
Somebody tell me truthfully that the procedures have not altered so much in recent years? Please.

I don’t know how any dimwit, even a democrat, could vote for a bill that they don’t know what’s in it
To: Joiseydude
For Democrats stimulus bills are like sausages, you probably don’t want to know what goes into them before you have to partake of them.

Being a NJ native, not by choice, I am used to the NJ 'Rats wheeling this rotting, sniveling, quivering, drooling old cadaver up to a microphone to say something, anything, to promote the Communist cause in New Jersey.
This time they got him to actually say something, albeit the usual 'Rat drivel:
No, I dont think anyone will have the chance to [read the entire bill],
Lautenberg can't even read his Gerber food labels, let alone one thousand pages of criminal pork.
