Can any of you who call the GOP "the party of no" list the bills that the senate sent to Obama over the past 4 years? (Harry Reid, house of representatives)

Bills which reek of the stench of rich-only supporting Republican goals are NOT what's good for this country. This is why these smelly bills weren't addressed in the Senate. The trickle-down stench of those bills shouldn't see the light of day. Now that Republicans control the Senate, this country will be subjected to the stench of these bills, before they are VETOED. It will be two years of Republicans in Congress wasting the taxpayers time and money, without getting a damn thing done for the benefit of all, not just the rich.
The GOP has been nothing but an obstructionist party. Dems must emphasize this going forward.

Thank you for continuing to post on this forum. I, for one, enjoy laughing at you.
"First, a technical problem. It’s an oversimplification to say that these bills are "sitting on Harry Reid’s desk." Many have been assigned to committees, where they would need to be approved before being taken up on the floor. While Reid has influence over what committee chairs do, a chair can -- using their own powers -- decide to either fast-track or stall a bill coming over from the House.
Another complication: In at least some cases, the Senate is working on a bill on the same topic, but without using the House bill as a starting point. "The disposition of a House bill is not particularly relevant to measuring Senate legislative activity," said Steven Smith, political scientist and Senate specialist at Washington University in St. Louis.
