Screw you, American people! I don't have to read the bill if I don't want to!


In the latest example of how the leftist dems in Washington are completely out of touch with the majority of this country, John Conyers (D-Mich.) (Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee) had these words of wisdom today with respect to the massive health care reform bill:

"I love these members, they get up and say, 'Read the bill.' What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read it."

We're sorry, congressman. You are absolutely right. We really shouldn't place such high demands on you -- expecting lawmakers to actually read the laws that they vote for and all. What were all of us poor, feeble-minded masses thinking?!?

(And nevermind the fact that if a piece of legislation actually would take two days and two lawyers to understand, then just maybe we're dealing with a fundamentally flawed piece of legislation in the first place? No?)
