Bills Republicans Have Blocked
Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas
Subpoena Power for the Committee investigating the BP Oil Spill (I remember when I pointed this out the number of Republicans on this very board called me a liar again and again).
Repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell
Benefits for Homeless Veterans
Health Care for the 9/11 First Responders who got sick from being at Ground Zero
The Jobs Bill
Oil Spill Liability
Politics Plus
Since 2007, Democrats have been forced to try to break Republican filibusters 360 times by far the highest rate in Congressional history. Ending them requires Democrats to get over a 60-vote hurdle. If Mr. Reid helped enact the proposal of the two senators, he would instantly make Congress more efficient and more democratic.
-----------------------
Remember, Democrats always have a couple of Blue Dog conservatives that vote Republican. Why they aren't Republican? I don't know.
So when Republicans say Democrats had "total control" of the government, the facts make you wonder if they understand what their leaders are doing? Or are they stupid? I suspect it's one or the other.
