"Nobody even knows what's IN THIS BILL!!!"
Is this not the stupidest complaint? I have heard so many right-winters complaining that this is some secret bill that nobody knows anything about.

Um, guys, both bills - the Senate bill and the reconciliation bill - are online. In full. With plain-language summaries. And in the case of the Senate bill, it's been there since December.

4. My husband had no idea what was in it, so I made him read it online today.
Not all 2000 pages, just a summary. Nonpolitical guy but he understood it pretty well. Intellectual laziness on some people's part.

5. There were more words in the last Harry Potter book than the HCR bill
And I know 9 year olds that finished reading that in a week. If Republics want to insist on a talking point that proves that they are NOT smarter than a fifth grader, than all the power to them.

ignorance is better than educating yourself of the facts for most of them.

9. Full admittance of ignorance is never pretty..
but it's a start on the right track. First you admit it and then you read it.

12. I can't understand why the Democrats don't look these Repukes in their goddamned
eyes and call them a bunch of fucking liars!

They know damn well that both the House and Senate accepted over 200 Republican amendments. They know damn well what's in this bill.

Why is it so hard for the Democrats to hit back and call them LIARS!!!!!!
