Well I guess you won't be seeing a bunch of poorly written right wing bills getting voted on in the Senate....maybe if the House wants their bills to be voted on in the Senate, they should send them bi-partisan bills.

Are you kidding me? You DO know we have a house, a senate, and a president for a reason, and that the president doesnt decide what passes the senate?

The topic title is just insane.

Slow down!

This democratic senate is in the front pocket of Barry's golf shirt (blue, unlike Tiger's usual red). They won't do anything unless it fits the narrative of whatever crapola he wants to shove off onto us. If he says black guns are bad they will all toe that line and try to push illegal bills through to the house to be turned down. The POTUS owns the sitting senate. Ask a republican stuck in that insane asylum.

No, I want them to send bills that both Republicans and Democrats agree on in the House. Not everything has to be this hyper partisan bulls**t that you guys keep going on about.

Which ones?

Your hero spent money like a drunken sailor because he had both sides of the aisle. Partisan.

Obamacare, partisan.

I could go on all day.

Do you think Obamacare was "BI-partisan? If you do, it's time to wake up from Obamamania.

You realize dear leader has increased the divide between rich and poor greater than any of his predecessors.

No, I don't think ACA was partisan, though I do think it was modeled after a Republican idea and I would wager that if it was named McCainCare or something like that, you guys would be all for this bill and it would have gotten bipartisan support.
