Rep. Barney Frank on Deliberative Democracy

[Geographer76]

"transparency and so that all Members will know what they are voting on. Democrats have pledged to increase transparency"

Tranparency and knowing what they are voting for? You mean like the stimulus bill that was rammed through on a partisan vote after having been dropped off at midnight before the vote, 1000 pages of text to be reviewed by congress in 6 hours before a vote. Obama and the Dems are so full of shit that they have universl brown eye.

What a wonderful speech! We need better and more comprehensive legislation, and open debate serves as a way to achieve that goal.

One of the few times I've liked what Barney Frank had to say. If nothing else, get it on record that you disagree, thats what the process is for.
