  • Steve King is a LIAR. A SHAMELESS , DISGUSTING LIAR. And then he lies AGAIN when clearly asked about the intent of the language!

    Here is the text from the House

    Page 643, Line 14:

    (b) CONSTRUCTION-The voluntary advance care planning consultation

    described in section 1861(hhh) of the Social Security Act, as added by

    subsection (a), shall be completely optional. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION

    SHALL--

    Page 644, Line 1:

    (3) encourage the promotion of suicide or assisted suicide.

  • Nothing in this section shall— (3) encourage the promotion of suicide or assisted suicide.

    This is quite the parlor trick. The first phrase "Nothing in this section shall—" at the bottom of p.643 (along with parts 1 and 2) and part 3 "(3) encourage the promotion of suicide or assisted suicide." is at the top of p. 644.

  • What a sack of dog shit worst Americans ever him and his whining ILK .

  • Even thou Rep King has a history of spewing these lies, some of the idiotic sheep in the GOP believe the crap.

  • Good lord... Does Rep. King really think we're this stupid?  That we're not going to fact check such a bold and idiotic claim?

  • I used to wonder if clowns like this guy, Bachmann, Beck, and the rest, actually believed the insane-o tripe they were spewing.

    Finally decided, yep, they probably do.

    Poor things.

  • .

    Dear Rep. King...

    YOU LIE!

    .

  • Was that a little Freudian slip at the end? "That's what it says, not necessarily what it means; this IS government, you know."

    He's admitting he knows his little spectacle there is totally full of shit. The bill may SAY the words "encourage the promotion of suicide or assisted suicide" but that's not what it MEANS.

    Government bills are like dense computer code--they're not meant to be read for pleasure and the context of an entry can be 10 pages away.

    And this little fucker knows it.
