There are 350+ republican/bipartisan bills sitting on Reids desk

[BluesLegend]

Where did the Democrats brilliant plan go wrong? Republicans passed hundreds of bills in the House, Democrats refuse to let them come up for a vote in the senate and with the help of the corrupt MSM they paint the Republicans as the obstructionists. Pretty good plan so why did voters bitch slap the Democrats?

 

[Roadrunner]

From this thread I deduce that the Republicans are going to do nothing but whine.

The whining is coming from Dems; nice Alinskyesque deflection though.

Does anyone have a link to a list of these bills?

Democrats let all those Republicans get elected so Obama can make them look bad.

It was a great victory for the Dems.

Thanks.

From that piece:

Ultimately, Jenkins places all the blame on the Democrats and the Senate, but experts agree that it takes two to tango. Both parties and chambers have played a role in creating the current legislative dysfunction.

As usual.

So stop fucking asking what republicans are going to do or what they stand for.

Pull your liberal heads out of Obamas ass and look them up. Stop demanding links from everyone else & do some research for yourselves.

Prove you have a brain and that you're not just part of the flock.

To those of you who might be sane enough to give a shit, here's a good explanation of this so-called controversy.

Rep. Lynn Jenkins blames Harry Reid for do-nothing Senate PolitiFact

Reid was the acknowledged obstructionist in chief. The New York Times even did a hit piece on him.

Harry cost a lot of dems their seats.

Sen Reid held back the republican/teaparty slash & burn hordes. He's a hero tinydancer

From what I've read Reid won't allow amendments by either party reps.

Here's a great example of the difference between the House and the Senate. Please note the bastard has fucked over his own party.

"The results of the gridlock are stark.

Since the beginning of this year, Republicans have been granted roll-call votes on just seven amendments, or an average of one per month. Democrats are doing even worse, at just five.

By contrast, in the House, where the minority is supposed to be at an even bigger disadvantage, there have been roll-call votes on 163 amendments, and a majority of those have been on proposals from Democrats.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, has had roll-call votes on nine of her amendments — or more than all 45 Senate Republicans combined. She did lose every one of those votes."

Senate Democrats need to break the Republican s record for... US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

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."

Here are 10 bi-partisan job creation bills coming out of the House that Reid obstructed:

[Politico]

The point of the OP was pointing out that the republicans have an agenda as represented by bills they have passed with particular emphasis on the fact there are over 350 of them. That number is somewhat misguiding when there are dozens that cover one single 'agenda' and even more so when that agenda is simply not going to come to pass.

They need MORE than that if they want to be in a decent position come 2016.

Their agenda doesn't matter. They either have the votes or they don't. Reid says they don't. So there's no reason not to put them up.

Has the U.S. House passed zero bills in past 3 years Fact Checker
Once again, the Dem leadership has lied. There have even been 943 bills the House has passed that Obama has signed, but never mentioned. That was as of 10/13. Here is a fact check from that date at my link, with the facts.

So stop fucking asking what republicans are going to do or what they stand for.

Pull your liberal heads out of Obamas ass and look them up. Stop demanding links from everyone else & do some research for yourselves.
