we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.
Why does Dirty Harry table bills, instead of bringing them up for a vote on the Senate floor?
Is he trying to obstruct congresses job? Is he afraid they will pass? Placing them on Obama's table, to make a fool of the President?
It's called "projection". Harry Reid is projecting the failings of himself and the Democrat majority Senate on to the Republicans. He doesn't like what the House sends to the Senate? Just say it's the Republican's fault.

Yes, projection it is! They do it with every slimy thing they do.

Reid thinks he can refuse to debate or vote on bills coming from the congress, and fool people into thinking the lack of legislative progress can be blamed on republicans.

It is clear that the center of gravity in the Republican Party has shifted sharply to the right. Its once-legendary moderate and center-right legislators in the House and the Senate — think Bob Michel, Mickey Edwards, John Danforth, Chuck Hagel — are virtually extinct.

The post-McGovern Democratic Party, by contrast, while losing the bulk of its conservative Dixiecrat contingent in the decades after the civil rights revolution, has retained a more diverse base. Since the Clinton presidency, it has hewed to the center-left on issues from welfare reform to fiscal policy. While the Democrats may have moved from their 40-yard line to their 25, the Republicans have gone from their 40 to somewhere behind their goal post.
To answer your question, because the Republicans have become extremists!

It is disingenuous to imply that everything that gets passed by the House is "extremist". But even that doesn't explain why Harry Reid will not let anything get to the floor of the Senate. Is he afraid of something actually getting passed?

Exactly. The GOP has gone completely off the deep end to the extreme right.
Hell even that nutcase pat robertson agrees, and that's really saying something.

Exactly. It is one of Liberal's most-commonly (albeit, "pathetically") used tactics.
