      These are proposed bills, Mr. Limbaugh. It is still in committee. The same committees you said hadn't been allowed to see it just this past week.

      If you'd really read it, you would be able to show which section contains the language about euthanasia. You would say, "Look, on page 19! It's right there!" Except it's not right there, or right anywhere, is it? Throw a tantrum and exclaim it's there all you want. You cannot find it. Aside from the top of your head, you have no point.

      "They deny what's there." No, actually you are trying to prove what doesn't exist.

      "As though we're supposed to believe Obama like a cult following. Just because he says it, we're supposed to believe it." No, you're hoping -your- cult following will not be able to see through your charade and realize that you haven't read it either. Poor sad Mr. Limbaugh. A voice crying in the wilderness of stupidity.

          You're not supposed to actually look. You're supposed to take the Great Gasbag's word. Why do you hate America?

      Oh Rush. This from the same guy who complains about people not reading the bills. You can't read this part of the Bill, because it doesn't exist of course.

      Perhaps drugbaugh is having trouble, YET AGAIN, searching a pdf file. Pressing 'ctrl f' at the same time can be real confusing for those too stupid to get a college degree.

      I love how Rush says "we've" read it. He doesn't say "I" because HE hasn't read it. He's just spounting crap. I mean, if it is in the House bill, let's hear it? Or are you, like so many other liars on the right, just saying, "well, it may not say it directly, but that's what it means!" Which tells us more about how the RIGHT lie to govern. Its so easy to see evil in other's motives when your motives are also evil.

        Meant to say that's "how the right LIKES to govern", but lie works too...

      You would think that someone who makes the big bucks like Professor Limbaugh could afford to hire an fact checker...maybe someone who would actually read the bill before big mouth makes an ass (again) out of himself.
      Does he always fall for emails scams???

        The only reason Limbaugh would hire a fact checker was to make sure he was wrong.
