Senator ‘Educate yourselves or you’ll get stuck in Iraq’ Kerry (D-MA): ‘Everybody knows’ most legislators don’t read the bills they sign.

SenatorTwoFaceRemember in 2006 when John Kerry infamously told students:

You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.

So, Senator Kerry should be all for giving legislators (and the public) 72 hours to read sweeping legislative bills before they are voted on, right? Well, not exactly. This is what he said to the members of a Senate Finance Committee last week:

This is fundamentally a delay tactic. I mean, let’s be honest about it. The legislative language, everybody knows, is relatively arcane, legalistic, and most people don’t read the legislative language.

Doublespeak much, Senator Kerry?

I wonder when Stephen King will weigh in.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
