Eh...
their purpose is to do as their constituents demand of them. You think they should just stop because the Democrats in the Senate are going to be so obstinate that nothing will ever get passed?This is absolutely incorrect. If the republicans thought it was a useless exercise, it is because the Democrats informed them that they would be obstructing those bills, and they have.
It is not incumbent upon the House to only vote on and pass legislation that the Senate will approve of. That would defeat the entire purpose of having a Senate and a House.
The Democrats in the Senate are the obstructionists, particularly Harry "Pass the cheddar" Reid, who is so uncertain of his fellow Senators that he fears bringing to a vote, any of those bills.
Sorry, but one half of the Congress does not stop just because the other half are petulant children.
The Senate and the Democrats are the obstructionists, and they show no good faith whatever by allowing bills to languish without a vote.
So what's the purpose of voting on the same bill they know won't go anywhere 33 times?
I wonder just how many on the left would be screaming bloody murder and yelling from every rooftop, Obstructionist, if it was the GOP that stopped every bill from being debated and voted upon.
Why is it that you and the rest of the crowd are not screaming for Reid to just being the bills to a vote? After all, if they are wrong for America, then the Senate will vote appropriately.
And while your at it, demand that the Democrats vote on a fucking budget.
33 times.
Oh, and btw, we have been shouting from the rooftops about how the GOP has been obstructing, pretty much because they have. And you know it. You're not entirely wrong about the Senate Dems but don't talk like your side's shit doesn't stink in this because it stinks to high heaven.
