What Are They Hiding?

On September 24, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was "absolutely" committed to putting the text of the final House health care bill online for 72 hours before the House votes:

Question: Madam Speaker, do you support the measure to put the final House bill online for 72 hours before it's voted on at the very end?
PELOSI: Absolutely. Without question.

Is there any interpretation needed on her answer? I think not. So how can anyone justify her latest answer to the same question? Pelosi's office now says that the speaker will not allow the final language of the health care to be posted online for 72 hours before bringing the bill to a vote on the House floor, despite her September 24 statement.

The House of Representatives are still negotiating specific issues in the bill, such as whether it will provide taxpayer-funding for abortions. Pelosi is pushing for a House vote today, and a number of big changes will be introduced.

Abortion and coverage for illegal aliens is not yet known, and will not be until after the bill is voted on. The only hope for Americans who are opposed to the bill, or certain aspects of the bill is the impact of last Tuesday's repudiation of the Democrats. Will the so called blue dogs sacrifice their office to get this bill passed? With the amount of arm twisting going on, maybe so since the threat of not voting for the bill is virtually the same as voting for it. The only difference is that if they vote for the bill, the electorate will vote them out of office. If they do not vote for the bill, their democratic leadership will abandon them during the next election.

We are sure of only two things - the Democrats are lying. Joe Wilson was 100% correct.
