Why can't reid allow all the bills to come to the floor and be voted on. If the Democrats have a majority in he Senate, then ten will fail but at least they have been voted on. I don't like the fact that he can pick and choose and run the Senate like a dictator ship .

Why not ask the same about Boehner and the clusterfuck that is the House?

Senator Reid is the captain of the Dictator Ship....and the House is the S.S. Minnow.

Stay on point, lets try to solve the problem that is Harry Reid. Perhaps you could start a thead about Boehner and we can discuss his short commings
It is a valid point to ask why focus on Reid as if he were the only politician in D.C. not bringing things up for a vote. Boehner's House is well known to be one in which nothing is brought up for a vote unless Boehner is assured that he has 218 votes to get it to pass. One would think that anyone regardless of party would feel that it is wrong to not allow items to be voted on unless all members of a particular party fall in line.

After reading up on some of the bills not brought up before the Senate it makes sense why no time was wasted on them. They were primarily bills weakening or eliminating regulations on drilling, in fact most of those bills were just the same but with different names.

And lightining, try creating threads that aren't removed for violating the TOS:rolleyes:

I agree that both should do the same thing. I just think that all the bill need to be brought up for a vote - either up or down in both the house and Senate. Both have too much power and should allow the bills to be voted on Period! If it passes. it passes if it does not - then it does not. A simple up or down vote. At least all the bills will be heard and no one can complain that they are stonewalling.

Our GOP and Senators need to vote their conscience not just fall in line with what ever party they are with. IF a Dem agrees with the GOP then vote that way, if a GOP supports a dem then vote that way. All of them need to grow a pair and vote the way the people want them to vote and not what the head honchos tell them to vote. No one up there had any ^^^^S.

I'm going to bet you can't name one bill the senator has withheld
