"The article is technically correct by saying a single-document version of the final bill is not online - I never argued that."

As is clear to anyone who reads the article and especially anyone who takes the time to peruse your "contributions" to this thread!

You find political ideology, fear mongering, political slant, impairment, implications, falsity, trolling, personal convictions, unwillingness, lack of credibility, cluelessness where you want to, where you need to.

You make many assumptions, many incorrectly, the article was posted to call attention to the fact that the final amended version of H R 3200 was not available for regular Americans to access before heeding calls on both the right and the left for the citizenry to interact with lawmakers during the August recess. A user friendly, accessible, complete, and accurate record that could afford individuals the timely information so as to formulate their own opinion rather than the mal-information obtained through the filters of others.

Interestingly, as is not uncommon under these circumstances you "speak out of both sides of your mouth", you both defend the foot dragging of the Democrat House on the grounds of the logistical impossibility of reconciling the various versions and amendments into a final accurate and concise read; while in the next breath you poo poo that very same task which you would admittedly require as " If someone really wants to go read the 1000+ page bill and get the final version they can do so without much difficulty." So which is it; a virtual impossibility by those employed by the taxpayer, or something that can be done buy the unwashed masses "without much difficulty"? If, in fact; it can be done without much difficulty by some, why not by all? And how is something so impossible to achieve by one group not impossible for all the rest?

This discussion has never been me requesting you or anyone else for information, but it has been offered as a challenge for those who dispute the literal facts originally stated in the article to refute them. You have tried and have failed miserably; instead you have made every attempt to answer that challenge with many accusations and personal attacks only to thoroughly expose your own biases. Prior to posting the thread I had already googled, found and perused the official website of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and found that exactly as the facts in the article state, no final amended version of H. R. 3200 had been posted for access by the American people. As I have said and stand by, you have done nothing but obfuscate, you ultimately admitted albeit belatedly, "The article is technically correct by saying a single-document version of the final bill is not online - I never argued that." All your efforts have been a fearful and frantic effort to rally against and attempt to call attention to your own imagined enemies. To misquote Walter Kelly's "We have met the enemy and he is us", You have met the enemy, and it is you!

You should find at least some small comfort in that you are not alone! Even in the relatively insignificant undertaking that this thread is, you have been joined in your tizzy by some likely fellow travelers; Chas H, 450slcguy, and even the great and powerful Arse Pirate, (aka Jolly Rodger). And although their "contributions" have been, ah how shall we say "illuminating", they do not for one moment compare to the candlepower of your own!
