Note to mods:

I think it should be considered "breaking news" that the Speaker of the House actually wants people to pass a bill in order to find out what's in it. But after three pages of Google search results, I still can't find an MSM news source that covers this ridiculous comment. So I hope that by providing the actual transcript from her website as well as thefoxnation as sources, together they might constitute an actual news article in place of one that doesn't appear to exist, in keeping with the spirit of intent behind the BN rules. Thanks for understanding.

Nancy Pelosi said:
“You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.

But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation—innovation begins in the classroom—clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform. Health insurance reform is about jobs. This legislation alone will create 4 million jobs, about 400,000 jobs very soon.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To"]YouTube- Pelosi: we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it[/ame]

Pelosi (aka Pelousy) has lost her marbles and needs to be removed from office immediately.
 
Since when have congressmen actually read the bills they are passing? Those things are of ludicrous size these days.
 
it's an important thread, thank you for posting it

i have great respect for your abilities

it shows:

1. she's out of her mind

2. she's really stupid

3. she doesn't really think anyone is listening to her

4. she thinks all america is like san francisco

5. she's desperate

6. people are not gonna like her, y'know, personally, she's unlikable

7. she has no respect for the people of america who will find out what's in the bill once it's passed

8. she has no respect for her membership who won't find out what's in the bill til after it's passed

9. she's losing, winners never sound like this, losers always do

10. health care's dead

THE SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN RULED TODAY THAT OBAMA MUST FIRST SIGN INTO LAW A HOUSE-PASSED SENATE BILL BEFORE RECONCILIATION MAY BEGIN

PARTY LEADERSHIP LATER DECLARED THEY'VE GIVEN UP ON TRYING TO WIN OVER STUPAK DEMS, whom jay cost at rcp, the best head counter available, has between 19 and 28

it's all on rcp, realclearpolitics

thanks for the fun post, cliff
 
Oh hey another thread on this.

Poorly worded, but if you actually think Pelosi is proposing we pass a bill without reading it, you're... delusional.

Context. What she's talking about is the fact that the American people have no idea what's in the bill because Republicans are lying about it constantly.
 
the merge is not yet written
 
BOTH BILLS feature a half T cuts to m and m

BOTH impose mandates on individuals to buy for themselves that which they can't afford, with fines and threats of jail time for the obstinately nonconformist

BOTH impose 200B of unfunded mandates on already bankrupt states in the form of massive expansions of medicaid

BOTH rely on accounting along the lines of 10 years of taxes versus 6 of benefits

BOTH houses are heavily dependent on a doc fix, about a quarter T, off budget

the house taxes the rich, the senate goes after cadillacs

the house has stupak, harry don't

BOTH bills are just loaded with taxes on small and large biz, payroll, targeted industries

not lies

but therein lies the EXTIRPATION of this bill, a monstrosity it was

Even if Republicans are lying about it, passing bills before knowing what's in them is NOT the solution to that or any other problem this nation has ever faced. Besides, it's the Democrats' fault if they can't address these "lies" and explain their own bill to the people.

If she is assuming we do not know whats in the bill then why would we want something we do not know whats in it to pass? Sign this contract first and then you'll find out what it means and how you are screwed.

Our congressmen know what's in the bill. Most of them anyway.

But hey, you can keep condoning the GOP's deception if you like.

Nancy begs to differ.

She was talking to you.

Or maybe she was talking to Congressman Conyers...

Or maybe she was talking to ANY AND ALL of the congressmen that havent been involved in the merging of whatever this abomination is.

or hey...maybe she is talking to the CBO who have no idea what it is, how much it will cost...etc.

But she isnt talking to YOU...because you actually BELIEVE that these morons in congress that have driven us into a 13.5 trillion dollar hole with no end in sight actually have the first freqin clue how to govern.

She isnt talking to you. She doesnt have to. You already swallowed.
 
She was talking to you. And ABOUT you. Not about congress.

Then why doesn't she tell us what's in it?

Instead she said, "we need to pass it so we can see what's in it."

Makes no sense.

If we could get past this sort of attitude we might actually be able to discuss things. You seem to believe that Nancy Pelosi is convinced that all of her democratic buddies are drinking the Republican kool-aid, and that the CBO is wrong on their estimate. I know you believe this, but you seem to have convinced yourself that this is what Pelosi believes. You think Pelosi agrees with you. That's ludicrous.

It's a five-minute press release. When a bill finally makes it to the House and Senate for review and final vote, the text will be available. Not that you'll read it, you're in that demographic who's already had their opinion fed to them. "Public Option = Canadian Style death panels."

Au contraire...I think the democrats AND republicans are all crooks and theives...two sides of the same coin. Im NEITHER. Im a citizen...Im a TAXPAYER.

I hear people like you ENDORSING the passage of legislation YOU know nothing about. I saw it after the last 2000 plus page fiasco, which you bet...I DID read. Because Im not an idiotic idealogue. I dont think we should pass something for the sake of passing it. I dont think well hell...something is better than NOTHIN I guess...and I dont trust the federal government...an institution that cant manage Medicare/Medicaid, an institution that has saddled the country with a 13.5 trillion dollar debt, with a blank check. I MARVEL at those that do. The crippled and dependent pets that want Sammy to pay their bills feed them...pat their little bottoms...and since they arent the ones that are going to actually be STUCK with the bill they dont really much CARE.

I have said from my first post here...Im not opposed to changes in health care...I just believe they ought to be made at the state level. It absolutely blows my mind that people TRUST the federal government to suddenly spend the peoples money effectviely and efficiently. From what the POLLS actually indicate...MOST dont.
