Why do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?

They did that with the stimulus bill, they brought it out in the morning and Queen Pelosi said.... VOTE!



They did that with the climate bill where 300 pages were added at 3AM, then the next morning Queen Pelosi said ... VOTE!



ObamaCare is getting fudged behind closed doors in secret.... Queen Pelosi will bring it out first thing of a morning ans say... VOTE!



Behind closed door and in secret. That is the legecy of this 111th congress.Why do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?Pork, pork and more pork.



Oh, and if the public won't really know what their representatives are voting on, they can't flood their offices with calls and emails and letters about how they think their representatives should vote.



The Representatives have forgotten their true purpose - to REPRESENT their constituents. Now, all they want to do is get more power and keep their constituents in the dark about things so they won't be held accountable.



Shameful.Why do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?
you sound totally unbiased. i respect your opinion!Why do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?You mean as opposed to the congressional conservatives and neocons who ran Congress for several years? You have no basis and no case on which to criticize liberals. We are seeing more proposed legislation online than we have ever seen.
Because they know no one will stand for the nonsense if they find outWhy do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?I suppose they could use fabricated evidence and third-party interviews to justify a war...



You do realize committee's in our government include members from both parties right?Why do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?
Wrong. They're doing exactly what previous Congresses have done--doing final reconciliation behind closed doors. It's called a "conference committee," and it's nothing new. The only thing that's new is your interest in the legislative process.
That is not the way the process worked. False.Why do congressional liberals hide their legislation behind closed doors until it's time to vote?
These are just a few examples of Obama and the Democrats pulling the rug out from under us...people should be asking why the stimulus we had to have won't be used until 2010 and 2012 and why the health care bill won't go into effect until 2013, after the 2012 elections.
They don't. Failed question.
You nailed it!!
just another example of obama's transparency. the king and queen gotta go while there's still time to try to fix the disaster we're about to be in.
These sheep don't want to hear it...NOTHING will shake their faith in the One.



Neo,...Uh, I meant Obama will fly, and save us all from ourselves. And he will make all the mean white people give their money and goods away to black and minorities and the homeless. Then he will force them to keep working and tax them at 100%, and then he will reveal himself, and the little liberal pantywaists on here will be like, " we didn't know, it's not our fault"!

Morons
Patriot Act...mmkay?
At least they are letting Republicans to be involved in the committee process. After the way Republicans ran things before 2006, anyone with any kind of memory would realize that Democrats are being quite open and inclusive.
