So when Reid blocks bills he's doing what he was elected to di.Reid is simply doing what he was elected to do as Senate Majority Leader.
all you keep on doing is backing up what im saying about you.....you cant back up what you say about other people or even yourself.....you are a fraud Lakota.....you and your right wing brother shootpeeders should get together...you both have one thing in common...do a lot of talking but cant back up the shit you say about people....a right and left dipshit....Any one that isn't a partisan hack knows the obstructionist in the Senate is Reid. His own party is pissed at Reid for blocking key pieces of bi partisan legislation.
This is on record. Over 300 bills are sitting on his desk.
I'm never sure if you are intellectually dishonest, or genuinely uninformed. I tend to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are uninformed.
When the House sends an infrastructure Bill to the Senate that has a provision that outlaws all abortions - which has nothing to do with infrastructure - should Harry Reid dignify that with a vote?
She is a fucking idiot - a dumb person who pretends to be smart.
if you voted more Republican at one time you would today still show some Republican/Conservative whatever leanings.....you NEVER have anything half assed decent to say about anything thats on the right.....never.....even if a moderate righty here says something that aint to bad....you are against it....ANYTHING by anyone on the left you are right there defending it....as a person who "used" to vote Republican a lot, you should be here saying shit when people like Dean posts some of the shit he posts about how Republicans are,because you would know a lot of what he says aint true.....but you thank the guy and agree with him no matter what he says....you not only cant back up what you said about me you cant back up what you say about yourself.....I'm 68, and used to vote more Republican than Democrat.I agree. However, I certainly consider Reid by far the lesser of two evils. I'm 68, and used to vote more Republican than Democrat. However, I've never seen such OBSTRUCTION as exhibited by Boehner and McConnell. I know it isn't technically treason - but I consider it treason against the American people.
yea sure you did.....people who switch parties are usually fairly moderate......you are pretty far left...."i used to vote more Republican than Democrat"....dont make me laugh....oh no to late....
I never switched parties. I've always been a registered Democrat. However, since the Reagan holocaust - I've voted mostly for Democrats.
You obviously need help. Try the Fox News shrink...

When Republicans block bills they're being obstructionist.
Got it.
If you didnt have a double standard you'd have no standard at all.
Reid is simply doing what he was elected to do as Senate Majority Leader.
Reid is simply doing what he was elected to do as Senate Majority Leader.
...and yet we put the Repubs in charge of the House in 2010 to do what they are doing....but that's NOT ok?

They are blocking America - not Obama.
The article you are citing is about the frustration of the Senate Republicans who can't get amendments attached to Senate Bills.Any one that isn't a partisan hack knows the obstructionist in the Senate is Reid. His own party is pissed at Reid for blocking key pieces of bi partisan legislation.

He dignifies nothing with a vote these days. So WTF do they do these days in the Senate? Think about it.
It's his job to bring the House bills to a vote whether you like or I like or anyone else likes it or not.
New York Times again with the stats.
"Absent those votes, Republicans were given 37 votes last year, 51 percent of the total.
And Senate votes are trending downward. Exempting nonbinding budget amendments, total amendment votes reached 218 in 2007
, Mr. Reid’s first year in control, to 175 in 2009, to 123 in 2012, to 67 last year, by Reid staff calculations. Since mid-July, Republicans have gotten four amendment votes."

It's not about the frustration of House Republicans who can't get their House Bills to the Senate floor.
From your link:
To Democrats, it was a typical Reid show of force in the face of unfair Republican amendments.Also from your link:
In his time as leader, he has allowed votes on almost 95 Republican amendments a year, 75 percent of the total. That is fewer than former Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee gave Democrats when he was majority leader — 117, or 76 percent — but more than Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi gave minority Democrats, 90 votes a year, 54 percent of the total.
Reid aides accept that power has drastically concentrated in Mr. Reid’s office, but counter that is because of the unprecedented obstruction by Republicans to derail President Obama. Dueling with Senator Dan Coats, Republican of Indiana, Mr. Reid made the case that “every amendment offered, with rare exception, is a gotcha amendment,” adding, “That isn’t what we do here.”
No. I already explained why in post #32The article you are citing is about the frustration of the Senate Republicans who can't get amendments attached to Senate Bills.Any one that isn't a partisan hack knows the obstructionist in the Senate is Reid.

So you are saying Reid has indeed brought most of the House Bills to the floor?
She's still going to lose. On the other hand, Democrats might have an outside shot in Georgia now. Nunn seems to have gotten some momentum in the last week, likely due to Perdue's asinine outsourcing remark.
Although I hope Democrats retain the Senate - I'm not sure how much difference it will make over the next two years - regardless of the outcome.
Only nine more days until Election Day. It looks really close for the U.S. Senate.
