BALONEY! Pelosi deliberately side-stepped the question. Why didn’t she give an honest answer if she’s so nice?

And why did Coburn take two cheap shots at Fox, but not at any lib media? C;mon, get real.

Media Matters has documented several instances where FOX personalities claimed that jail time was a possibility for those who chose not to pay the individual mandate tax described in the ObamaCare bill.

What Media Matters failed to disclose is that at the time many (if not all) of these allegations were made, H.R.3962 provided for numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

November 5, 2009 letter from the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation:

So you don’t think that failing to pay what the IRS demands, jail time is not a possibility?!! There are a lot of folks in prison who would disagree with you! What universe is AIM in?

Yes indeed it did call for Civil penalties with fines up to $250,000 and five years in jail if you didn’t pay.
