Why doesn’t the media hammer it?

Can they just this once remember what they used to be, what they should be.

“I’m going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We’ll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies – they’ll get a seat at the table, they just won’t be able to buy every chair. But what we’ll do is we’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of drug companies or the insurance companies.”

- Barack Obama, August 2008

They were right. We can see exactly what they’re doing.

I love the transparency of this administration and their minions. Everything will be out in the open – bills will be on line for 72 hours for everyone to review, blah, blah, blah….
So good to see they will be working behind closed doors to find new an innovative ways to steal and give away out taxes.

It’s utterly ridiculous the way that “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings” has come to override everything else in the Constitution related to the Legislative branch. As Brian pointed out, Pelosi wrote and the House passed one bill and the Reid wrote and the Senate passed a completely different bill.

Nancy’s was H.R.3962 – Affordable Health Care for America Act
Harry’s was S. H.R.3590 – Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

What?? How can a bill that was completely written in the Senate and had nothing to do with the House have a House number instead of a Senate number?

You do that by having the House pass H.R.3590 with little fanfare, controversy, or opposition when it was introduced as the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act. Then the Senate gets it, chunks the contents, changes the name to “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”, plugs in HarryCare, and voila! Now this revenue bill has passed muster as having originated in the House. The only part that originated in the House was the number of the bill.

It’s no different than if the House started each session by passing five bills: each one adding a 1-cent, 2-cent, 3-cent, 4-cent, or 5-cent income tax surcharge to individual incomes of over $1 trillion and let them stand as placeholders for any bills that (wink wink nudge nudge) the Senate might want to originate that include tax increases.

Take everything they do and call it the exact opposite of what it really is.
Hiding behind closed doors is transparency.
Republicans wanting to debate a bill in the open chamber is a shenanigan.
Adding 30 million people to a health care system will improve service.
Spending a trillion dollars is saving money.
Ten percent unemployment is jobs saved and created.
Millions of people protesting in the streets is massive public support.
Giving terrorists lawyers will improve national security.
Destroying the coal industry will create jobs.
A man who could be classified as a pedophile is the Safe schools czar.
A woman with absolutely no law enforcement or military or intelligence training is the Director of Homeland Security.
A man getting on a plane successfully with a bomb is the system working.
Returning war vets are labeled potential terror threats.

Up is down and black is white.
Cats and dogs are sleeping together. Mass hysteria.

As your two year old kid and you will understand them better.

Constitution, we don’t need no stinking Constitution. And openness, what you think dictators tell people where they are building the gulags.

next thing you know you’ll be both thinking about them and debating them. Little lefties must love this, the arrogance. the misuse of power, the total contempt shown for the entire American nation, not just Republicans. It’s right up their alley, a complete reversal of their stated beliefs, a display therefore of moral nihilism.
The fascist hand shows itself yet again.

then guess what? They will stand at the press conferences and news shows and rub republican congressman’s noses in it by referencing their supposed uncooperative and partisan behavior and the classic “where’s their bill?”. So if your congressman snarls but then still assumes the beta-dog submissive posture, get rid of them!
