  • Well, gee, John, if you can't read the damn bill you should just VOTE AGAINST IT!!!

    We do not need anymore legal gobbledygook ramrodded through Congress!!!

    Our country is already messed up enough as it is with all these ignorant lawyers/liars voting on all kinds of legislative BS without bothering to read what they're voting on!

    Read the bills, Congess! It's your damn job!

  • Anyine who runs against this guy in the future will just show this clip, promise to read & understand all the bills he or she works on to promote meaningfull changes & win the election. This guy's career is over.

  • .......DUH WUT.....

  • This what happens when you have uneducated Affirmative Action Negros in our government. He makes over $170,000.00 a year and he signs a bill without reading it. This POS should be impeached and executed for stealing the hard working taxpayers money.

  • Unbelievable! How do you vote "Aye" for a bill that you never read, and admit you wouldn't understand. Hopefully they don't let this guy sign contracts for the USA!

  • @donukrainec Good luck to you. Really.

  • @TheUltraworld

    I would be that candidate

  • What good is you're vote on a bill you don't understand then? If you can't read and understand the bills you're elected to vote on, (aka, do your job) then you need to be replaced with someone who can.

  • Term Limits.

  • That's the point moron.. you placate Unions, Insurance Companies and screw everyone else... you all need to GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ...and here we have the arrogant left, who shoved through a health care "reform" bill that the American people did NOT want without reading it or really knowing (or caring) what was in it.  Thank you SO MUCH to the brainwashed masses who voted this Congress in in 2006 and for the current President. You may have just pulled the trigger of the gun that was already at America's head.
