The problem with politicians..

[Conservadude]

Democrat and Republican:

While lawmakers debated a bill that would overhaul the way education is funded in Colorado and result in $1 billion in new taxes, state Sen. Evie Hudak (D-Westmister) suggested that they “finish it up real fast in two minutes” without thoroughly discussing a proposed amendment. She also told Sen. Owen Hill (R-Colorado Springs) to “flip a coin” when he asked how he could possibly vote on a major amendment he hadn’t read.

“I’m going to take a quick straw poll,” Hudak said. “How many want to finish it up real fast in two minutes, raise your hand.”

“How can I vote on it if we can’t have a little more discussion on it,” Hill replied.

“Take your best shot,” Hudak shot back.

When the roll was called, Hill again stated that he couldn’t vote on something that the legislature hadn’t read and discussed more thoroughly.

“Here’s a coin you can flip,” Hudak said.

“I didn’t knock on 20,000 doors to flip a coin,” Hill added.

“You’ll pass for now, here’s a coin if you want to flip it,” she said condescendingly.

“Unbelievable,” a stunned Hill muttered.

well maybe if your side had not destroyed the economy and cheered the war built on lies maybe you would recieve more respect for your opinions.

As it is in this country today the republican party stands for standing in the way of the people getting their way

maybe they should have read the billl when it was handed to them and NOT waited until the floor discussion to figure out what was in it?

Maybe.. Just maybe.. It was a bill sort of like Obamacare where all these things were added, and no one had really had the chance to read it! I'm proud of this State Senator.

Flip of a coin? Really? That's how we spend the peoples money?

Probably not the best way to vote on legislation, but we could save alot of money doing a coin flip for general elections. Would it really make a difference?
