    Harry Reid is a jackass.

    They have a 30 day extension passed by the house but he wants 60. He has a 5 year reauthorization sitting around for 10 months and hasn’t brought it to the floor.

    He is playing political games instead of doing his job.

      Wayne, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Dirty Harry should have been out of there a long time ago. How many bills have the House sent over only to have him pronounce them DOA? The Senate has not done anything meaningful in the past 2 years. The last time they passed something of consequence was Obamacare in the middle of the night without reading it and we know how that turned out for the country. Perhaps in November when we change out the Senate, he can move to the back of the room or maybe he will just retire to his Pomegranate garden.

    And this differs from the other 564 members of Congress exactly how?

      And how did we pick up the additional 29 members of Congress? The last time I checked, we had 435 in the House and 100 in the Senate.

        Oops. Typo. Sorry about that.

      It appears you know very little about how the government fuctions. Since it was already pointed out that your count was off, I won’t belabor that but simply answer your question: it differs because Harry Reid has the power, ability and obligation to bring issues to a vote on the floor of the Senate in his position as President of the Senate. No other person in the Senate can bring an item to the floor for a vote except him.

        I agree Wayne. That points out the problem we have with Dirty Harry. He does not permit legislation coming from the House to be debated or voted on. Where are the other 99 Senators, hiding in the cloak room? It seems to me that even his Democratic colleagues would have enough of this and get him out of there. Many of their seats are up for grabs in November and they will be judged as well. Time for them and their RINO buddies to retire.
