He gets to rely upon his perception of another's intelligence and intellectual curiousity for discerning the truth on a factual matter.<br /><br />He can make rash judgment about another's character without ever meeting them. <br /><br />He can denigrate their truthfulness without evidence.<br /><br />But, he opposes such a standard ever being applied to him or those who think like him regardless of the evidence to the contrary.Troy Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-68094234296084723592010-11-10T10:21:42.581-07:002010-11-10T10:21:42.581-07:00Maybe, just maybe you should refrain from accusing...Maybe, just maybe you should refrain from accusing someone of lying until you can prove it.<br /><br />Tim HigginsFireBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155339581279516096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-52949419316517088492010-11-09T19:13:20.754-07:002010-11-09T19:13:20.754-07:00I do not have proof.

However, if someone offered a wager and a way to verify Noem's reading status, I would bet, based on the evidence of her lack of intellectual curiosity and general intelligence, not to mention her willingness to spread lies during the campaign, that her statement about reading the entire bill, something very few Americans have done, is false. <br /><br />Perhaps we should have a national quiz on the health care bill. I bet I could beat Noem on such a quiz... and I have not read the entire thing.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-51299150879482728652010-11-09T13:22:03.912-07:002010-11-09T13:22:03.912-07:00Just how do you know she did not read the bill?

Noem may well have read the entire bill, (though I too have my doubts) but unless she is a healthcare lawyer, most of it wouldn't mean much to her. Members of Congress and their staffs have access to many hours of briefings with non-partisan professionals, committee hearings, the entire research staff of the Library of Congress, and countless personal meetings with stakeholders on important issues. It is definately possible to thoroughly understand legislation without having read every page; alternatively, you can read a bunch of legalese and come away with very little understanding. Arguing about this issue (or in the same vein, the length of bills passed by Congress) is unlikely to lead to any fruitful outcomes.<br /><br />Brett HoffmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-74334774654837879722010-11-07T11:11:43.395-07:002010-11-07T11:11:43.395-07:00Somebody should maybe give her a pop quiz.
