Boehner Presses Speaker Pelosi to Let the American People Read Bills Before Congress Votes

Posted by admin on May 4th, 2010 and filed under congress democrats | 25 Comments »

http://gopleader.gov Appearing on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) discussed a effort underway by Republicans and rank-and-file Democrats in Congress to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to post all major bills online for at least 72 hours before a House vote to ensure that the American people and their elected representatives can review them. The effort is being led by Reps. Greg Walden (R-OR), Brian Baird (D-WA), and John Culberson (R-TX). More than 160 Members of Congress have already signed onto a Walden-authored petition that would force Speaker Pelosi to allow a vote on a House rules change requiring a 72-hour review period. He also touched on the Democrats proposed government takeover of health care and media reports suggesting that Speaker Pelosi plans to bring up a House bill that is more liberal, more costly, with more government involvement than ever before.

    Fox News is THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY news organization. Fox is the best because it is the most honest and most reliable and most objective and most trustworthy of all major American news organization.

    The reason leftists PRETEND that they can dismiss Fox is because Fox tells the TRUTH that leftists want to silence. Leftists must have endless propaganda and unchallenged lies or people will wisely reject left-wing tyranny.

    No, Clinton tried to impose TYRANNY on the American people and the Republicans rescued America from the Demoncrats’ evil schemes.

    the government is already persecuting the innocent insurance companies. What we need is to restrain tyrannical government so that responsible businesses can provide jobs and benefits to willing and honest workers.

    Clinton tried to make healthcare WORSE.
    Republicans saved America from Clinton’s tyranny.

    Then America punished the Democrats for going along with Clinton’s lunacy.

  13. Jouvert20 Says:

    Yes, what congress …
    Yes, what congress has is a private choice plan. What 42 million Americans have is no health insurance, either been priced out or dropped due to pre-existing medical conditions. Millions have only one choice because they live in one of several states that is monopolized by one Health Insurance Co. For others the cost keeps going up, it matters not which plan for the cost is fixed. A Public Option Plan is a choice & weapon against the Health Ins Co. for the misery coursed by their greed.

  14. herbs814 Says:

    The healthcare plan …
    The healthcare plan Congress has is a CHOICE of PRIVATE healthcare plans. Congress does not have to accept a government-controlled plan… and the American people should not be forced to accept one either. Private healthcare is the ONLY moral choice.

  15. herbs814 Says:

    Bohner was right. …
    Bohner was right. The House could not get the votes to pass the bill without protecting taxpayers from being forced to fund abortion. But of course, the pro-abortion left is screaming now and threatening to torpedo the whole bill. Watching the Democrats debate healthcare is like watching a car crash in slow motion.

  16. herbs814 Says:

    Clinton tried to …
    Clinton tried to impose tyranny upon honest and capable American citizens. Republicans stood up for the God-given right of all Americans to private property and private healthcare.

    John Boehner is so …
    John Boehner is so Full of Shit! He just says things that would make him seem like he gives a about Americans.
    He knows Americans don’t read. Hell, most Americans can’t read. Americans eat McDonald’s, shop Walmart & Vote for the next American Idol. If Americans read you would see it in the results of the “Elected” officials. We would have a working HeathCare system, no Central Bank, no Patriot Act & Ron Paul would be president.
    Instead we had a Retard and now an Elitist. both Parties

  18. onceuponatube Says:

    Clinton tried to …
    Clinton tried to fix the heathcare problem, Republicans Shot it down. Then the republicans had the white house for 8 years screwed it up more without fixing a thing with healthcare, Now the Dems are back and trying to fix the problem, again the Republicans are shooting it down. The dems are taking the risks, and trying to make it better. Listen to this video again, or any, and see what the Rep offer as an answer, YOU WONT FIND ONE, I pay more for health care than I do for my mortgage.

  19. Jouvert20 Says:

    Boehner must think …
    Boehner must think that we are a bunch of dummies. The american people want a health insurance plan like the one Boehner has: Blue Cross/Blue Shield at a hugh government discount with a yearly option to select from more then 25 other plans if not satified. Furthermore to be able to carry this health plan into retirement at the same discount rate and with no such thing as a pre-existing condition. Mr. Boehner your plan sounds just like a “Public Option Plan”. So, why can’t we have one.

  20. Vespasian76 Says:

    And now Boehner is …
    And now Boehner is complaining about having to read the bill. He flip flops like crazy on everything except his sun tan ? skin color. Come to think of it, his face color varies, too.
