Transcript of Gretta interviewing Marsh Blackburn R-TN
quote:

BLACKBURN: And he needs to go because he will not do his job. There are 356 bills as of tonight that we have passed in the house, 98 percent of those are with bipartisan votes. And the bulk of them, two-thirds of them have had a two-thirds majority in the house and Harry Reid won't take them up.
Someone refresh me on "how a bill becomes a law". How does something pass the House and never get brought up for a vote in the Senate? Does it die in Senate committee or on Harry Reid's desk?

It dies when the PR ineptitude of GOP House leaders collides with an intransigently liberal press.

Reid's pandering and lies aside, I am most frustrated with him on this note. He has let numerous house bills die since republicans took it in 2010 and then he and Obama go on tirades about how the republicans don't do anything, when Reid stops them from seeing the light of day.

He lets them die so he can say the Republicans won't do anything.

It is amazing to me that NBC runs this video of Harry Reid bad mouthing republican senators yet they report nothing of him keeping bills from coming to the floor. Reid calls R's senators do nothings

Framing and Agenda Setting. Poli Sci 101.

And the Democrats are killing Republicans at it. A lot of that has to do with the media and their agenda setting practices.

And people harp on Fox, they are the only tool Republicans have, Dems have everything else (aside from radio).

They also don't report anything regarding his history as a pederast.

Are you just now waking up to the fact that Harry Reid is the primary piece of shite in Congress that keeps legislation at a standstill.

The guy is fricking worthless.

I know he is a TPOS, but I didn't realize there were that many pieces of legislation sitting on his desk. One man able to stop the wheels of this country moving forward.

Yep, Harry has never taken to the floor of Congress to denounce his pederast history. Really makes you think, huh?

I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill

It also, much like Senator Obama, prevents democrats from being on record for suppporting or opposing legislation.
As long as the press keeps blaming "Congress" and Obama has the bully pulpit, it will continue.
