Gigantic Health Care Bill Here for You to Not Read

​
Here it is, folks, all 1,990 pages of it -- the House of Representatives' Health Care Bill, which was unloaded today by Nancy Pelosi. It is said to be "very similar" to the Senate version now working, which may speed reconciliation sufficiently that we may have a finished product by the time President Palin has taken the oath of office. We'll read it when the Large-Type Edition comes out, but conservatives have already manned the barricades: "The bill contains the word 'shall' 3,425 times," reveals Matt Lewis. And we all know what the future tense/indicative mode means: socialism!

The world is backward, Charlie Rangel and other democrat libs should be in the slammer, not Bernie Kerik. I guess if Edward Kennedy could get away with Murder for all those years, the liberals could get away with anything. They will have to deal with their maker when the time comes and I am sure it will not be pretty.. I hear Ex Sen. Kennedy screams from here... hope he is suffering in hell.
