So, in an act of defiance to the Democrat agenda, Tom Coburn uses a parliamentary procedure and has a single 700+ page amendment read aloud on the Senate floor. Imagine! Reading a piece of legislation that will effect the lives of millions of American's health care and pocket books. Such defiance!

The amendment was offered by Vermont Independent (self-described Socialist) Bernard Sanders. His amendment's :

aim was to establish a single-payer, or government-run, health care system in the United States. Under Sanders' amendment, the nation's Medicare program would be extended to every U.S. citizen.

After about an hour of reading, Sanders pulled the amendment, thus stopping the reading.

So let me get this straight. All we have to do is read the stuff Democrats want on the floor of the Senate, and they will pull it? Are the things they offer so horrendous that if they were simply read aloud, that they will make a fast turn about, pull their ideas, and throw them in the trash? Had we known it would be that easy, I image the Tea Party protesters would have just stayed home.
