BREAKING: Health Care Reform negotiations WERE televised. Hours and hours of them.
 Therefore, we've reached the quota for "transparency". The negotiations will now move behind closed doors.

Congressperson Pelosi has made the statement that this bill has been the most transparent legislation ever created. It is her opinion as well that we've reached the "Transparency Quota", and that the public need not be concerned with further information until President Obama puts pen to paper.

"Trust us."

BOHICA, people. In an unprecedented and little reported move, a rider has been attached to an obscure transportation bill currently being voted on that will appropriate $50 billion dollars in order to supply each member of the American voting public with their own small tube of Anal Eze so as to make the insertion less noticeable.

The "Transparency Quota" has been reached. There is nothing more to see here. Now, please move along (Oh, and here's your tube).
 
A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Benjamin Harrison

"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."

The four cruelest words in the English language are:

WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Aye!
 To believe that elected Democrats should be dumb enough to allow Cable Company owned C-Span and the GOP to bait and manipulate us once again is sheer lunacy. For those who hop on that train....I've got a bridge to sell them.....

Transparancy for the sake of entertaining the media and the opposition to healthcare reform is kind of like encouraging town hall meetings for the sake of discussion on an important national matter; Those were "shown" all over the media for days on end. Guess they were supposed to be helpful to the "democratic" way, but did they advance the issue of health care? I believe that they hurt the case, and now, here we go again!
 

Those damnable town halls!  Where do we think we live?
