How many of those have been passed? How many have been signed into law? Care to name a single one?
The simple fact is the House is acting just the same as they did when Democrats controlled the Senate. They are pushing "shit" bills to the Senate which get turned down by the Senate. Why? Because Republicans in the House are at ends with each other due to moderates and the crazies not being able to agree with themselves, let alone Democrats.
This results in Boners sending shitty bills to the Senate which get kicked to the curb the moment they arrive. In fact the House sent the exact same bill 3 times and was kicked to the curb 3 times by the Senate, with John Boner somehow expecting a different result from the first time it was kicked.. ie the problem all along has been Republican lack of leadership in the House as everyone with any common sense has seen for a long time.
Here are some actual quotes from Republican Senators about the Republican House..

Senate Republicans, meanwhile, roll their eyes, count to 10 and wait patiently for the noise to give way to reason. “We can go through the motions, sure, but I don’t think we’re fooling anybody,” said Republican senator Jeff Flake about the prospect of another doomed vote. “Because we need [Democratic] support to get on the bill.”

“It’s not an issue of commitment, it’s a matter of math,” said the Republican senator John McCain – perhaps failing to realise that math, like science, is no competition for blind faith and bad politics.

You can try to cherry coat it all you want, but the "facts" are they have not passed a single bill that has any chance of being signed into law. They have accomplished nothing but play political games.
