"In a press conference Thursday, the House Republican leadership spoke candidly about being kept out of the House-Senate conference on the Obama-Pelosi-Reid so-called “economic stimulus” bill. They confirmed they had not yet seen the text of the bill as of 4 p.m.
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he was unsure how many Democrats would vote with Republicans again on this bill but that he thought Republicans “may get a few” Democrats to side with them. The fact that the Demos have now broken their promise to have the public able to see the bill for 48 hours may drive more Dems into the Republican camp.
“[I] don’t know, ‘cause they haven’t seen the bill either,” Boehner said.
“The American people have a right to know what’s in this bill,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told HUMAN EVENTS after the press conference. “Every member of Congress -- Republicans and Democrats -- voted to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours, 48 hours ago. We’ll see if the Democrats keep their word.”
Actually -- as of 5:15 pm, the Democrats had broken their word. The stimulus bill -- which we still haven’t seen -- will be released late tonight and will be brought up on the House floor at 9 am tomorrow.
The following statement was released by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer at 4:57 p.m.:
"The House is scheduled to meet at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow and is expected to proceed directly to consideration of the American Recovery and Reinvestment conference report. The conference report text will be filed this evening, giving members enough time to review the conference report before voting on it tomorrow afternoon."
Meanwhile, at an earlier presser Thursday, Pelosi -- while talking about legislation regarding school construction funds -- said it was vital to see the language of a bill before making decisions. ReadtheStimulus.org had the following quote:
“With all of this you have to see the language. You said this --- I said that --- I understood it to be this way --- you know, we wanted to see it in writing and when we did that then we were able to go forward."
"Around here language means a lot. Words weigh a ton and one person's understanding of a spoken description might vary from another's. We wanted to see it. And not only just I had to see it, I had to show it to my colleagues and my caucus. We wanted to take all the time that was necessary to make sure it was right."
Congressional members are also exchanging barbs via the popular social network Twitter. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) twittered, "Don't know when we're going to vote. Will the no votes delay vote just because they can? Speed is important. They know that."
House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) twittered back, “Those in favor of speed over commonsense may just be afraid of letting the People know what they are ramming through.”"

I do hope you are not going to be a yellow dog for Obama and all the Dems.
For the tyrants who you call legislators who do not actualy read the bills, maybe they don't need the time to see how they are distroying our republic. There are a few good honest legislators who do read them if they have promise. Many wanted to read this bill do to the junk shoved in it. Like the Holt Gun Bill the Dems shoved in there.
This was no stimulus, just a shell to speed every dems wish list through and speed up the process of socialism. I say hold the traitors accountable for breaking house rules. Hold them accountable for breaking this rule, because in all actuality it was a rule that was broken.
It is a stimulus and time will prove that out. Even many conservative economists say we have to spend our way out of a recession, and this is a very bad one which requires lots of speinding.
I can call them tyrants because most of them have been doing a good job at distroying our country. A lot of our problems we are in has to do with those same tyrants. The vote was improper and I find it hard to believe anyone would defend this piracy, unless they were married to the democrat party and was incapable of thinking a free thought.
This is not legislation and in the days of our founders those same tyrants would have been hung.
Now what we have to fear is a worthless barrel of pork with a little stimulus which dosn't even target the cause of it all. Hundreds of economists are now predicting hyperinflation by 2010. Refrence Germant in 32' for a good example of hyperinflation, or the approx. 50 others that were distoyed by it. It is a hard lesson by any fiat currency is not immune to hyperinflation and it comes for it sooner or later.
And please don't tell me you are ok with their not reading the bills.
Bi-Partisonship? Nope. Republicans took power 10 years ago and "had to be fair" to the losers and they fell for it.
