Speed Reader Bill Owens Has an Appetite for Words

This article says Bill Owens completed reading 2400 pages of health bill and the darn thing only went on line Thursday....That's fast reading..That would be like reading Going Rogue six times in a day.
Plus, legislation is hard to read because it often refers back to other laws and in this case you have to interpret the ramifications of taxes, laws, unforeseen circumstances and lots more....
The fact is few people are voting based on an intimate knowledge of this. And with all due respect to the Congressman, no one could read and fathom 2400 pages in a day, except perhaps my good friend Dan Francis. Oops gotta run...Palin is on Greta's show.
The Press Republican - Article: Owens says he's undecided on health care

Yeah, because Congressman Owens would have to wait for it to be made available online before having access to it.

Speaking of not having "an intimate knowledge of this", any of the uninformed criticism from Palin worth the watch?

The bill posted Thursday was 150+ pages.

The Senate bill, which has been available for months was 2400 pages.

Great fact-checking.

So which are we supposed to believe, 7:34? I have a hard time understanding what is deemed to have been passed/voted upon/ bribed through/Naaaancied.

Watch Landmark Legal Foundation's suit's progress if Nancy uses "Demon Pass."

We have no representative here in the 23rd. Owens just does what Nancy tells him to. I'm not sure what she has promised him or what sway she has over him, but this is one of the sickest relationships I've ever seen. She has it with a lot of folks.
