A Lying Shame

Regardless of how things ”have been done in the past”  the “hope and change” and the promise of “the most ethical congress ever” ( Interesting that out of all 19 investigations into ethics violations since the Democrats took over in 2007 there have been ZERO findings of fault) were touted as the new way. 
So lying- Yes
As for the most scrutiny to the health bill, I disagree, there has certainly been great discourse , lots of manipulation and twisting, secrecy, special deals and frustration, but not scrutiny.  I mean when the bill is only out for 30 hours before a vote (with weekend votes and 1am votes and Christmas eve votes) and it is 2,500 pagers, how can there possibly be any real scrutiny?  It is only AFTER it has passed and the bill can actually be read that all these gems are trickling out, it is then we discover the bribery and special favors to “buy votes”.  I mean every other huge social program that has been passed by Congress has been done so with weeks of debate and ultimately bipartisan support for the bill whether it was Medicare or the Prescription Drug process.  The Democrats new line is that once people get to know this bill they will like it.  This is absurd!  Why rush to pass it then explain it,  Explain it first!  Finally, if this bill HAS been so well explained, and scrutinized then why should the politicians not listen to the people,   ALL the polls show it to be unpopular. Why are the Dems going to pass it?  It is all politics,  they think this is the lesser of 2 evils ( for their survival), the whole purpose of the bill  ( to insure Americans drive down costs and increase benefits for all ) is a farce and it has become a political must to pass anything no matter the damage to our country, economy etc.  I am disgusted with this process and I find it hard to believe that many Democrats are proud of the bill and, more specifically, this process.  It sets a new and dangerous precedent and what will stop the Republicans form pushing bills like this that are so massive and that permanently  reshape 1/6th of our economy in the future?  Nothing, because the Dems have shown them the way and if nothing else, all those pols love power and control.  Shame on us all.
