(CNSNews.com) - During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.
“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 the bill?”


Sometimes reading the words of these people we send to Washington makes my head want to explode. I have an idea, if you can't read a thousand page bill without two lawyers and two days to figure it out, maybe you should not be writing thousand page bills or not trying to rush every freaking thing into law. Maybe you should write things that are a 5 or 6 pages long and written in crayon with plenty of pictures so you and the other imbeciles we sent to Washington can read. We need to throw these bums out!

I guess Congress has nothing better to do

So evidently our fearless leaders in DC have nothing better to do with their time and our tax dollars than to apologize for something that happened well over a hundred years ago. I agree slavery was wrong and immoral but it ended in December of 1865. There is not anyone who is alive today that was a slave and I would imagine very few if any still alive whose parent was a slave. This is the same Congress who hired a speed reader to get a bill read before voting on it, and the same Congress who didn't even take the time to read the Omnibus spending bill before signing it into law. They are now trying to rush through health care and don't want to take the time to analyze any of these extremely important bills that cost us taxpayers billions of dollars but they find time to apologize for slavery. We need to vote every single one of these people out of office.
