Yeah because nobody will blame the party in control for not doing what they campaigned on for years. That's a partial Pelosi quote btw.
“You’ve heard about the controversies, the process about the bill…but I don’t know if you’ve heard that it is legislation for the future – not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America,” she told the National Association of Counties annual legislative conference, which has drawn about 2,000 local officials to Washington. “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it – away from the fog of the controversy.”

I understand why you guys took it of context but it doesn't work if you know the full quote.



What subtle shaving of half-truth are you trying for?

Both quotes say the same thing, that Pelosi asked her party to vote on legislation they hadn't read, to ram through something the public would reject if seen in the light of day and the public had a chance to read it in advance. Deception of the public being key to their passing of Obamacare.


They had a lot more town halls and transparency than the GOP is with their failed attempts. There wasn't even a token attempt at bipartisanship with you guys either. Pelosi was just saying that with time the benefits of the bill would become apparent. It wasn't passed in secrecy but in a "fog of controversy ". And the program has indeed gained in popularity over the years. If it wasn't I suspect your party would have a much easier time trying to replace it.


Fair play!
