Basically ANYTHING that he didn't agree with in any way...he shelved.
People saw through that shit after a while.
Perhaps now some things will FINALLY make it past the Senate and to the President's desk for him to either sign or veto.
Anything is better than what Reid did as majority leader.  |
It's funny Robbie, that John Boner did the exact same things you just complained Reid did, yet over and over you always excused away him and never once complained about him not bringing votes to the floor and blocking anything he didn't want.
Why is it different when the house does it vs the senate? When I brought this up to you in the past, you always used the excuse that congress had no power or that Republicans were the minority (despite they controlled the house where they did this)
When I showed you that Boner wouldn't bring the budget to a vote and he blocked it in the house, you excused it away every time.. Now you complain about Reid doing the same things Boner was doing.. Why is it ok for one side to do it, but not the other?
You always claim to have no side and talk down about people whom choose a side, but time and time again, you explain away one side and condemn the others yet claim you don't take sides..
