Where is that “Transparency” Again?

from JoeUser Forums

When Obama was elected, and when democrats got majority control, all we heard was how “transparent” they will be.  The public will be given 48 hours to review bills before being voted on, and Obama told us that his administration will be “transparent”.  Yeah right.

Democratic leaders are looking to forgo a formal, public conference to merge the House and Senate's health care overhaul bills, giving Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House free rein to hammer out the final measure behind closed doors and thwart Republican efforts to stymie it.

The maneuver gives Democratic leaders the ability to quickly work through hundreds of differences between the 2,000-page bills and to keep control over the deals they will need to make on politically touchy topics such as abortion, taxes and Medicare cuts.

These people are out of control.

After thought - just shows how people with starkly different political viewpoints can still be good friends.

And how tolerant conservatives can be of liberals.

Of course!  After all, the conservative motto is "Where there is life, there is hope" for even liberals to learn. ;)

"There has never been a more open process for any legislation," Pelosi said at a press conference.

"We will do what is necessary to pass the bill," Pelosi said.

It is amazing that anyone would defend Pelosi after she basically contradicted herself - THE SAME DAY

But I guess PT Barnum was correct, and those suckers are easy to find.  They have liberal tatooed on their forehead, and nothing behind it.
