Sen. Reid (D): rw Fringers have brought Senate to standstill

[Dot Com]

seems they're everywhere these days, rw Fringers/corp fluffers.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday said “anarchists” have taken over Congress.

Reid (D-Nev.) said Tea Party Republicans are preventing progress on an energy efficiency bill by offering amendments on ObamaCare and other unrelated issues.

“We’re diverted totally from what this bill is about. Why? Because the anarchists have taken over,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “They’ve taken over the House and now they’ve taken over the Senate.

Harry Reid is a total moron. Why don't you ask him how many bills has passed the House and now reside in a file in the bottom of his desk. How many bills has HE prevented discussion, debate & votes on? Then we can talk about who is gridlocking the govt.

******* partisan hypocrites

thats all you two have to offer? Thanks for sharing I guess.

There is nothing worthy of offering to such blatant disregard for reality.

You need a reality check. I offered substantive FACTS while your own op offered NOTHING of your own opinion, but rather just some silly name calling.

Taken over the senate? When did that happen? I know that two democrats in Colorado have been replace by republicans, but that still doesn't give the republicans a majority. If they were, bills would be flowing out of the senate as realistic laws get passed and obamacare gets repealed.

Someone should tell Harry 'pass the cheddar' Reid that all he has to do is work with the Republicans (in good faith) to clear up the log jam that he [Reid] has created which has brought the Senate to the dysfunctional institution is has now become.

Uninformed or misinformed? Those two Democrat seats were at the state level. Thanks for playing.

Okay then. Just start voting democrats out at the state and federal level. Problem solved.

It was fine with Sen. Harry Reid when the Liberals took over the House and Senate but now they are starting to lose their power, Conservatives are now anarchists.

He thinks it's a shame that people want their freedom from an out of control and way to powerful Federal Government.

That's pretty funny because the Founders were called anarchists too.

Katz, this is about Senator Reid's complaint about Tea Party Senators in the Senate.
It isn't about legislators at the State level.

Summary of S. 1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act

Summary of S. 1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act | Alliance to Save Energy

Essentially, this bill adds further coding to model buildings, tracks it and asks for compliance. Essentially, you're asknig a sluggish economiy to spend money on state/local/federal code enforcement and implementation. A 200 million appropriation.

Furthermore,

Subtitle A – Manufacturing Energy Efficiency

Section 201. Purposes
This section aims to reform and reorient DOE's industrial efficiency programs, establish a clear authority for these programs, accelerate the deployment of technologies and practices that will increase industrial efficiency and manufacturing efficiency, stimulate economic growth and industrial productivity and competitiveness, and strengthen partnerships among the government agencies and private and academic sectors.

No thanks. This is the type of thing that only encourages more corporatism, syphoning of taxpayer money and does not help, but actually hinders competition. (the government HATES competition).

This bill is a piece of shit. As with most bills passed these days

Harry Reid has himself to blame

He knew what assholes the Republicans in the Senate are yet he lacks the balls to change the filibuster rules. He has a 55-45 advantage and allows the 45% to stonewall the Senate
