Just a Little Reminder of Who the Repukes Serve

Sal wrote:Republican senators blocked an election-year bill Wednesday to limit tax breaks for U.S. companies that move operations overseas.

The bill would have prohibited companies from deducting expenses related to moving their operations to a foreign country. It also would have offered tax credits to companies that move operations to the U.S. from a foreign country.

The Senate voted 54-42 to end debate on the bill, six short of the 60 votes needed to advance it. The White House says President Barack Obama supports the legislation.

"Today in the United States, any time an American company closes a factory or plant in America and moves operations to another country, the American taxpayers pick up part of that moving bill," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "Frankly, a vote against this bill is a vote against American jobs."

Republicans called the bill an election-year stunt. They noted that Democrats tried to pass a similar bill two years ago, right before the last congressional elections.

Let's remind everyone the Senate's party affiliation:

Democrats  - 53
Republicans - 45
Independent - 2

Seems like the Democrats could've passed this - if they wanted to...

I imagine even some of them would even delight in another mass-killing terrorist event on American soil just to prove their point.

I know how the senate works. I also know what you and Sal have said so far.

Therefore it's all the Democrats fault as to why the bill was laid to rest according to the two of you.

After all according to the two of you 51 Dem's voted to end the debate.

Here in this very comment, you are leaving absolutely no doubt at all that you haven't the slightest clue how the senate works.

I'm beginning to understand how the tea partiers got elected in the first place.
