...then, it's leaked by one of her Congressional Dem colleagues, her rush to get it to a vote is because she's leaving for an 8 day trip to Europe to meet with the Pope and receive some awards from Italian groups...Travelinman67 wrote:What caught my attention last night, was that after voting this week to require that the Rules Committee (Pelosi) post a copy of the draft at least 48 hours prior to bringing the bill to the floor for debate and vote, Pelosi IGNORED the vote, didn't release the 1,588 page bill (posted it on the Rules Committee website) until 11 pm Eastern LAST NIGHT, and scheduled the bill for floor discussion and vote at 9a EST this morning.
Congress has 10 hours to review, assuming they don't sleep at night.
WORSE...the document was posted as SCANNED .PDF IMAGES, that aren't searchable.
All this pertaining to passage of a crucial economic recovery bill with $760 Billion in expentures that analysts believe, when complete, will easily top $1 plus Trillion dollars...the single largest "bailout" bill in the history of our country.
OK, Dem flotulants...go ahead and defend Pelosi...
...she is the single WORST Congressional leader our country has ever had.

HURRY, FELLAS, LET'S VOTE, I AM OFF TO ROME!

Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.
In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would 'have the chance' to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.
