Daily Kos: A Reminder Of How The GOP Spent Its Last 4 Years

One might think, after reading this listing , that the Republican party is actually the Communist party..........
GOP blocked bills:
Blocked bill to aid Small Business
Blocked Unemployment extension
Blocked Bank Reform Bills
Blocked Campaign Finance Reform and open Contributions Law
Blocked MULTIPLE Jobs Bills
Blocked Infrastructure Bill
Blocked Ending Tax Breaks for companies that Outsource Jobs
Blocked Wall Street Reform
Blocked Energy Legislation
Blocked Mine Safety Bill
Blocked Oil Spill Liability Cap increase
Blocked Bill to lower Oil Company Tax Breaks
Blocked Bill to impose charging American Oil Companies on Oil achieved in the Gulf
Number of TRUE Jobs Bills even allowed to come to a vote in the House....NONE.

Stop posting this stuff. Before long I am going to be a fan of the GOP.

Your refusal to read period speaks volumes to your lack of being intellectually honest. Don't dirty yourself rolling on the floor laughing, we're going over the cliff because your party has pledged to a nobody.

You call posting a "Blog" as facts? Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hopefully the GOP has spent the last EIGHT YEARS obstructing enough legislation designed to aid most of us instead of the financial elites to make the Republican Party UNELECTABLE anywhere at any time.

First, Obamacare doesn't do anything to the "medical complex." Obamacare is insurance regulation. People will still go to their private doctors and visit private hospitals. The difference is that millions of previously uninsured will now have coverage, my kids can stay on my health plan until 26 and insurance companies can't drop you if you have a pre-existing condition. Oh, and it seems that those state exchanges are really starting to keep costs down.

Second, Democrats didn't have two years of completely control. In the Senate, Al Franken was seated nearly eight months after winning his Senate seat. Even if the Senate was controlled by Democrats (e.g. 50 seats), the statement ignores two other facts. a) there were Democrats in the Senate that vote as if they were Republicans. b) Republicans liberally used the filibuster to block legislation.

The Dems never had 60 Senate seats post-2008. They had between 56 and 58 seats. For that very brief period they had 58 seats with consistent support from Bernie Sanders and inconsistent support from Joe Lieberman. The Democrats hardly had 60 Dem seats, and hardly 60 reliable Dem votes. Then in a special election the following January, Scott Brown won Teddy Kennedy’s old seat, and was sworn in on February 4th.

I just love reading posts by those who hold conservative fringe views call liberals, who have views tethered to reality, idiotic insults.

Opinions are like a.sh..l.s.

Do you think the Daily Kos is opinionated or are they unbiased?

IMO, I would say the GOP has thwarted the ramrod actions of the dem controlled Senate and White House.

I started to read your sites but, quit after the first one.

A blog, "a common sense look at progressive politics. Truth has a liberal bias. Use it." "Facts", I don't think so. just biased opinion.

I don't see the 38 attempts to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act in that list of non jobs bills.
