Hoyer: No one would vote for ObamaCare if they read the bill
What does this say about our politicians?...
Ed Morrissey posted this on the Hot Air blog:
"House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that the health-care reform bill now pending in Congress would garner very few votes if lawmakers actually had to read the entire bill before voting on it.
'If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes,' Hoyer told CNSNews.com at his regular weekly news conference.
Hoyer was responding to a question from CNSNews.com on whether he supported a pledge that asks members of the Congress to read the entire bill before voting on it and also make the full text of the bill available to the public for 72 hours before a vote."
