Read the bill you shitheads!!
Seriously, that is the oldest complaint EVER by the right wing and its been so for a few months. They complain about it being 1,000 pages long, I've just read the 4th Harry Potter book which is near 800 pages in 4 DAYS!!! If they put half the the time and effort reading the bill than rallying against the Obama admin they'd be getting somewhere. These people are so lost its barely even funny.

Many of the people protesting have read the bill or at least enough to know that it sucks. OTOH, not many of the congress critters have read it, they just make sure that what they want is in there.

2. Too be fair
harry potter and a congressional bill are not written in the same manner.
These bills are written by people who are masters of legalese and obfuscation, they aren't intended to be easily intelligible by the common man, or even a particularly well educated citizen not familiar with this writing style. There's a reason it's 1000 pages long.
Besides which, you don't have to consider future ramifications, legal issues, and constitutional concerns when reading harry potter.
This description applies to every bill, not just this one, BTW. The people in DC (either party) work very hard to make sure it is a difficult as possible to figure out what they're doing in our name.
This DUmmie comes close to getting how government works.

7. If they had the capacity to read and understand the bill
It might become glaringly obvious that the right-wing wackos they listen too... LIE... BLATANTLY... and yet these shitheads just keep eatin it all up without questioning a damn thing.
Are your projectionist dues up to date?

We have read the bill. That is why we are asking the pointed questions. When a canned answer or a lie is told by their congressman we get mad.
The DUmbasses are far beyond useful idiots.

I think the primitives are now useless idiots, because they're not helping the grown-ups among the Democrats and liberals any.

Chuck Norris is someone else who's read the bill, and he wrote an article for Townhall, covered by Rush in today's show:

That part of going into homes for children sounds like something that the UN's children's rights treaty would love.

Aside :
I wonder who would have the balls to call Chuck Norris a 'mobster' if he attended a Townhall ? And who would be man enough to try to stifle his question ?
Such an unlucky person is sure to meet the 3rd fist hidden beneath his beard " up close and personal " :-)

They come in ages ten, six, and three. -- So, the answer would be affirmative. Sadly, I know more about Sesame Street, Spongebob, and Hannah Montana (the two oldest are girls.. Lucky me :p ) than any adult male should.

I watched the MTV Awards last night. Miley Cyrus was dancing on a stripper pole wearing a bra I couldn't even talk my last girlfriend into wearing.
I feel your pain.

I avoided it like the plague - hung around in my office playing old arcade games instead. I hate awards shows.
