You are right though the political situation in America is a disaster, but it is not one sided.

Can you name a Bipartisan bill stopped in the house by a crazed left wing minority outside it?

House Overwhelmingly Passes Audit the Fed. So, Why Won't Harry Reid Bring it to a Vote?

BY JULIE BOROWSKI
09/17/2014
As expected, the House overwhelmingly passed legislation (H.R. 24) to audit the Federal Reserve with a vote of 333-92. This goes to show that bringing transparency to the central bank is a bipartisan issue that transcends party lines. FreedomWorks will be scoring this important vote in our congressional scorecard to hold legislators accountable.

Thank you to all the activists who called their representative and urged them to vote yes!

Now, Audit the Fed moves on to the Senate. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has introduced identical Fed transparency legislation (S.209) that has 30 cosponsors. Unfortunately, there are no signs that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will bring it to a vote.

We were in the same boat two years ago.

Rep. Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill overwhelmingly passed the House but Reid refused to bring the popular bill to a vote. This is strange since Reid vocally supported an audit in the 1990’s, yet he’s now the one blocking it from happening.

Don’t believe me? Watch this from 1995:

Instead, Harry Reid is complaining that Republicans are saying no to (bad) bills that he’s tried to pass. Alright, then how about finally putting Audit the Fed to a vote? Both Republicans and Democrats should be able to support bringing accountability to the Federal Reserve.

After all, in Reid’s own words, "There is no entity in the world that controls our lives more than the Federal Reserve System.” Surely, that means the American people deserve to know what’s happening behind closed doors at the powerful institution.

It’s time for the Senate to finally vote on Audit the Fed. Harry Reid must stop blocking a vote on such a crucial matter that the majority of Americans support.

Who are you trying to kid, Pete? The point has the article makes is about Harry Reid holding up a bill that Ryan wanted passed. Now you're flopping around saying the point is something more, dare I say it--a bi-partisan criticism.

I don't think you have an honest opinion about anything. Nobody could post the idiocy you post with the consistancy that you post it without A) being a chain-yanking troll or B) having somebody come around to wipe the drool off your chin every 5 seconds. But that would mean that you're in a "home" somewhere where they would keep you medicated.

I guess you're a troll.

Oh so completely change the fucking subject why don't you?

Even a fucking nine year old knows that the speakers hold up bills as part of the bargaining process.

Now, I'll ask you the same question in the vague hope you might actually try and answer it:

Are you serious, the point here is that Harry Ried used the same exact tactic as Boehner, he let the bill lay on his desk and would not bring it up for a vote.

Both speakers block bills if they are using them to negotiate other bills with their opponents.

But AGAIN, because you appear to have reading comprehension problems - I assume it is your age - the Immigration Bill was blocked by Boehner because he was threatened with being unseated by the Teabag party.

Do you live in a fucking cave?

Quote:

Boehner adopted an extreme version of the so-called Hastert rule, named for his predecessor as Speaker, Dennis Hastert, who is now under indictment for alleged financial crimes connected to blackmail payments (he has pleaded not guilty). The Hastert rule holds that the Speaker should never allow a vote on a bill unless it’s supported by a majority of the Republican caucus. But Boehner’s approach was to keep bills off the floor that were opposed by a minority of Republicans—the Tea Party caucus, which only numbers about fifty—effectively giving them a veto over the work of the House. Nothing came to the floor without their say-so, so that meant that nothing much came to the floor except for symbolic exercises like votes to repeal Obamacare or to defund Planned Parenthood.

And more importantly:

Quote:

The outgoing Speaker on various occasions indicated that immigration reform was necessary, yet offered no timeline. This summer, the Republican leader told a Dublin audience of business executives that he would make immigration reform a top priority on his agenda — despite his own refusal to put the matter up for a vote.

Boehner shelved immigration reform simply out of fear of angering the Tea Party, struggled to push through basic legislation to increase the debt ceiling, and we now find ourselves on the brink of another government showdown.

In spite of all the resistance in Congress, he could still put an immigration bill forward, and pass it with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Boehner is still Speaker of the House of Representatives and he is still accountable to the nation. According to a Pew Research Center survey, 72 percent of Americans think undocumented immigrants should be allowed to stay in this country if they meet certain requirements.

One wonders how he manages to type unaided

Copies it off Fox News I fancy. Seems to be his only source of "news".

If all the illegals announced today, they would all be voting Republican

Obama and the democrats would start building the border fence tomorrow.

Probably.

Like the Republicans have been gerrymandering for years, cutting early voting, and so on.

Your point is?

My point is, both democrats and republicans support what is good for keeping their party in power, not what is good for the country.

Yes, you would think showing support to the anchor babies and their hardworking families would be the sensible thing to do to get their votes, wouldn't you?

Not according to the idiotic teabaggers.

Now this was a stupid decision.
Immigration officials prohibited from looking at visa applicants' social media postings

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson decided against ending a secret U.S. policy that prohibits immigration officials from reviewing social media posts of foreigners applying for U.S. visas, according to a report by ABC News.

Johnson decided to keep the prohibition in place in early 2014 because he feared a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations,” according to ABC.

“During that time period immigration officials were not allowed to use or review social media as part of the screening process,” John Cohen, a former acting under-secretary at DHS for intelligence and analysis, told ABC News.

One current and one former senior counter-terrorism official confirmed Cohen’s account to ABC.

A DHS spokesperson told ABC News that in the fall of 2014 after Cohen left, the Department began three pilot programs to include social media in vetting, but officials say it's still not a widespread policy and a review is underway.

The policy's revelation comes after U.S. officials learned that Tashfeen Malik, one of the San Bernardino shooters, posted a message on Facebook declaring allegiance to the Islamice State in Iraq and Syria during a shooting in which 14 people were killed.
