Is this Republican led Senate the most inept in American history?

[Dad2three]

Republicans have a two year window when they control Congress

Looks like they are content to celebrate their 2014 victories and do nothing

Meanwhile, Obama has no political pressure on him and is the only one in town who is actually accomplishing things

Very true winger, and everything that obama is "accomplishing" is hurting american citizens. But we understand, you are not allowed to criticize your messiah.

Look

I understand Republicans want to accomplish conservative things and Democrats want to accomplish liberal things...There is nothing that Obama can do that Republicans would classify as an accomplishment

But Obama is accomplishing his liberal things in spite of being a lame duck president. The Republicans have been unable to mark a single major accomplishment

That is the difference

Yes, you are correct. and the american people are the victims of obama and his accomplishments.

But since you keep bringing it up. give us a list of the things he has personally done that help average americans.

Kept US out of a SECOND GOP GREAT DEPRESSION after 8 years of Dubya/GOP "job creator" policies!!!

 

[rightwinger]

McConnell is unable to accomplish anything because he does not have the authority to compromise

what exactly do you mean he does not have the AUTHORITY....?
he is the R leader in the senate...!!

Actually, he is more than just the Republican Leader. He runs the whole Senate. He is responsible for brokering deals with the other party. He is responsible for finding a way to get it done.

McConnell, as well as Boehner are failing miserably

HEALTH CARE!!!!

Oh, yeah. lets talk about obozocare.

Great.

Premiums, for those paying, have doubled
Deductibles are up
coverage is down
doctors are leaving medicine
hospitals are closing
the website doesn't work
Yes, for those who get it free, its great. But those people always got free medical care.

No one in the USA was denied medical care before obamacare. NO ONE.

This terrible law was not passed by dems to fix medical care, it was passed as the first step to nationalizing (socializing) medicine.

To call the worst legislation in the history of our nation an accomplishment just shows how indoctrinated with bullshit that you are.

Harvard Medical Study Links Lack of Insurance to 45,000 U.S. Deaths a Year

The Harvard study found that people without health insurance had a 40 percent higher risk of death than those with private health insurance — as a result of being unable to obtain necessary medical care. The risk appears to have increased since 1993, when a similar study found the risk of death was 25 percent greater for the uninsured.

The increase in risk, according to the study, is likely to be a result of at least two factors. One is the greater difficulty the uninsured have today in finding care, as public hospitals have closed or cut back on services. The other is improvements in medical care for insured people with treatable chronic conditions like high blood pressure.

“As health care for the insured gets better, the gap between the insured and uninsured widens,” Dr. Woolhandler said.

The researchers also concluded that other ways of delivering care to the uninsured, like providing them with community health centers, are not adequate substitutes for health insurance. Individuals need the access to hospitals and specialists that comes only with adequate insurance coverage, Dr. Woolhander said.

Jroc simply thinks he can say things and people will believe it.

Premiums, for those paying, have doubled prove it
Deductibles are up how much
coverage is down for who
doctors are leaving medicine they all do eventually
hospitals are closing how many are opening
the website doesn't work that's a lie
Yes, for those who get it free, its great. But those people always got free medical care. no, they don't

No one in the USA was denied medical care before obamacare. NO ONE. that's a lie

And the far right wonders why they can't tear down the world

So Fakey, is Jroc a member of the mystical far right you are so afraid of?

If so, does Jroc have power over you?

I have insurance now when nobody would sell it to me before because of a
pre- existing condition. THANKS OBAMA!!!

Well good for you. Were you denied treatment before ACA? Did you go to a hospital and get sent home to die? Are you paying for your obozo insurance or getting it free?

1. Yes. Emergency rooms will care for you when you are bleeding, or in the middle of a heart attack, but things like monitoring a pace maker or any kind of regular care or test is not their job.
2. yes
3. Yes. I pay every penny for my policy that allows regular visits to a cardiologist.

again THANKS OBAMA!!!!

1. where did you get the pacemaker? You obviously got it before obamacare, so how did you get it under the terrible medical system pre-ACA?

2. I don't believe you

3. There were two things that needed fixing: insurance companies should have been required to take people with pre-existing conditions at a reasonable premium. there should have been no lifetime maximums in policies. Those two fixes could have been made with a one page bill that would have not disrupted the entire medical system and increased the cost for taxpayers and everyone who pays for insurance.

4. since you say you now pay for your policy, why were you unable to afford a policy before ACA? Having a pre-existing condition did not prevent you from getting coverage, it just made it cost more.

 

[whitehall]

You have a slim majority of republicans in the senate including a couple of rinos and a radical angry minority as well as a president who is off the charts and determined to ruin this Country. Democrats whined about filibuster on simple issues like appointments when they were in the majority and they even (illegally?) changed the rules. Now they invoke filibuster when the future of the world is at stake with Iraq as a nuclear power and you think the GOP is the problem? When you factor in the liberal media that never saw a democrat they didn't like and blame the GOP for shutting down the government when democrats won't budge on funding nazis who sell human body parts you must be crazy if you blame senate republicans for the mess the administration has made of this Country and the freaking world.

ANOTHER right winger who doesn't understand without 60 votes to push through legislation AND 67 to override a Obama veto of stupid right wing bills like "repealing" ACA? lol

You know "power" in the Senate that ONLY means you have majority, NOT EXECUTIVE BRANCH SUPER DUPER POWERS (day to day running of Gov't!!!)

LOL, except when Reid changed the rules to pass obozocare with 60 votes. you libs are such hypocrites.

How Many Die From Medical Mistakes In U.S. Hospitals?

Now comes a study in the current issue of the Journal of Patient Safety that says the numbers may be much higher — between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death.
why do the liberals hate poor people? Statistically, you have less of a chance of dying without care than you do with.

5 negative quarters of GDP, losing 700,000 jobs a month, stock market dropping 7000 points is just a "correction"?

 

[candycorn]

An R senate is no different than a D senate.

Any fool should be able to recognize this.

No, the R's are much easier for Obama to destroy. The Democrats put up a fight sometimes. The GOP "leadership" is the world's shortest speed bump.

The term “Great Recession” applies to both the U.S. recession – officially lasting from December 2007 to June 2009 – and the ensuing global recession in 2009.

I don't think we're seeing anything unusual. Reagan was domestically emasculated his final two years, as was Slick and so is Obama. But, Reagan stunned his own party on the cold war and the econ was humming along, Slick nearly outdid Jimmah on the ME and the econ was humming along, and Obama has stymied the neocons whose longterm goal has always been war with Iran and the econ is limping along.

The one real game changer was Gary Hart self-destructing and becoming perhaps the best prepared guy to screw up an unscrewupable portus run.
