96 Hours AFTER the cap-and-trade vote, final bill released

I'm no Congressional Parlimentarian, but shouldn't the full bill be released before the vote and not after?

Oh wait...I forgot, Obama didn't really want transparency, he just said he did to get elected. Kind of like that "I won't tax people who make less than $250k" line. I guess people who make less than $250k don't do silly things like turn on the lights or drive to the store - because those are the actions that this bill, supported by the President, will tax.

No, this is cool. I prefer having my Congressman vote for a bill without knowing all that it says. Picture a party with blindfolded guests each trying to break the pinata with a sledgehammer. Never a dull moment.

Is there any way to prevent these people from destroying Our Country short of insurrection?

Are they all idiots or what? Cap n Trade is only going to hurt our country further, and do they think the carbon has a wall around it in our country only? Other countries are not participating and this is only going to put our commerce at a disadvantage in the world market. Just what we need, less jobs available and less opportunity!
