So, Nancy Pelosi needed to force the vote in the House on the newest pork package, because otherwise she would not be able to make her flight to go on a Roman holiday and visit the Pope.
Her vacation was more important than a promise by the Democratic party to allow us plebes 48 hours to study and understand 1100-odd pages of legalese, and send our reactions to our representatives. Of course, we can expect that those worthies have completely read and understood the whole thing - right?
Of course not. Most of them didn't even bother to try - they just accepted the crap placed on their plates, and wolfed it down - and expect us to gladly accept the results over the next decade or so.
Good for the House Republicans - who by their sudden acceptance of responsibility refused to have any part of this travesty, and as a bloc voted 'NO'. Good also for those seven Democrats who refused to vote on a pig-in-a-poke bill.
Now, if we can convince the three 'Republican' traitors, Specter, Snowe, and Collins, to refuse passage of this pile of steaming shit until at least We the People get a chance to read and approve or disapprove, we still might be able to prevent a small measure of the financial and freedom loss disaster that awaits.
