And here you have it by the numbers what a dictator Reid has become. I am sure there will be Democrat knives out for him up and coming. Tell me again libs how Reid has not become a tyrant?
"Through the end of June, just 41 measures have been reported as being out of committees and gone to the
Senate floor, which puts senators on pace for their worst year in more than three decades. Total bills considered are also down, as are roll-call votes on amendments.
"But it’s
Mr. Reid’s own personal record on amendments that stands out.
Before him, the most amendments any previous majority leader had been responsible for was Sen. Bill Frist, who accounted for 7.5 percent of amendments in 2006.
The average over the 25 years or so before
Mr. Reid took office was slightly more than 2 percent. Former
Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker, who passed away late last month, actually averaged less than 1 percent during his four-year tenure.
Mr. Reid’s numbers are just the opposite:
In 2007, his first year as leader, he accounted for 3.2 percent of amendments.
That jumped to 12.4 percent in 2008,
5.3 percent in 2009, 19.3 percent in 2010, 14.2 percent in 2011,
18.4 percent in 2012,
12.8 percent in 2013 and a stunning 33.6 percent so far this year.
It was actually closer to 40 percent just a few weeks ago, but
Mr. Reid agreed to allow his colleagues to offer a few amendments to a bipartisan job-training bill, which ended up passing overwhelmingly."
