They wont. If they do, some other stupid **** will be attached to it. That is the problem; Republicans won't pass a bill without something outrageous in it.

That is true of both parties. Personally, I'd love a constitutional amendment requiring an individual vote for every item in a bill which costs money at any level of government. We'd no longer see "bridges to nowhere" legislation.

As would I. Just not the porkster passed by the senate that also happens to reward criminals for breaking our laws.

Talking Can't put all blame on GOP for nothing getting done in DC...Reid blocks votes

I wouldn't be surprised if Reid blocked votes on those 54 house bills to repeal the ACA.

The House has voted 54 times in four years on Obamacare. Here’s the full list. - The Washington Post


Call it what you want.

What it really is, is blocking idiocy.

Carry on.

"Reid blocked it!"

Repeat X 240
Please stop listening to what people want you to think. Go to GovTrack and actually look at the bills. This is the Congressional site and shows each entire bill, every amendment, every vote, everything. This is where you can actually read the entire Immigration Bill and make up your own mind on whether it should be passed "as is" (with no border security reform) or not. (The Immigration Bill is Senate 744.)

Most of the bills have something about defunding Obamacare. The ones that dont have the equivalent of subsidies for carrot farmers. After that Republicans dont have diddly unless its banning abortions or defunding NPR.

I still can not fathom how any Democrat can support Harry Reid. The outright lies he tells and then this. Put aside your politics for a moment and stand up to this dirtbag.
1.Which one of those bills do you actually think would pass the senate ????

Without quoting a single bill where you believe it would pass, all you have shown me is that Harry Reid inst interested in wasting the time and money of the American people.

2. What happened to "the Government that governs least governs best"???
