How 'bout those teabaggers who both complain about a 1,000 page bill AND quote parts of it?

These RWers who go to the town hall meetings always read supposed parts of "the bill," probably reading print-outs of RW talking points which CLAIM certain provisions are on certain pages. They go on to make some false claim from "the bill" and at the same time, complain about Obama trying to rush this 1,000 page bill through which "nobody read." How can they have it both ways?

1. Logic? You're trying to use logic to explain these guys?

2. True. I guess I just wanted to say what I noticed.

Of course what they say is illogical and that's all there is to it.

3. Yep...

I should have used the :sarcasm: thing, too. I can't follow their logic -- and don't have the patience to try!

5. So if a citizen quotes PART of a bill that means...

The representatives, who are responsible for reading ALL of it, have read ALL of it?

How many representatives HAVE read the whole bill? Do you know?

8. No. I'm saying that these people who get talking points, claiming they've even read THAT

part of the actual bill have no right being angry (fake outrage IMO) that Obama is trying to "jam the bill through" that "nobody read." These Congresspeople have aides who read it FOR them-the REAL bill-not talking points from RWers.

9. You really think these people got their questions from reading the bill?

10. Well someone should asked them what was on the previous or next page..

bet they can't answer. Its like a kind in school not doing their homework & using only a cheat sheet.

11. Which reminds me of an old joke

"Boy, the food at this place is really terrible."
"Yeah, I know; and such small portions."
