Oh, so you agree with me then that they have effectively done nothing..
Let's start at the beginning..
First thing they do, is come into their new found power and try to push an anti abortion bill. A bill that 75% of the country would be against. In fact they couldn't even get their bill past the woman in their own party so it died before even being brought up to vote.. Fail.
Now the Republicans have the opportunity to show that they want to lead and work on behalf of the entire country. Yet their opening shot was just like usual narrow minded political games, meant to appease their extreme right wing religious nuts by regulating woman's bodies..
Next they move on to the Keystone pipe line. That big black bad guy in the oval office, told them from the start he will veto any bill that tries to pass the Keystone pipeline.
This gave Republicans 3 choices..
1) Work with Obama to put together something he could support. Failed..
2) Work with Democrats and put together a bill that has a veto proof majority. Once again Failed..
3) Ignore working on a pipe line deal which once again 75% of America does not want and instead show actual leadership skills to do something positive for America. Then go back and try to work with Obama & Democrats to pass a Keystone bill showing they are willing to give & take.. Again Fail..
Simply put Republicans have shown us, that they can not lead and will continue to push legislation that only benefits a very narrow segment of their base. The worst part is they are so arrogant that they pretend to be outraged when it doesn't work..
Next we will see a topic from Venzilla whining about Obama vetoing the Keystone pipeline bill and you guys will circle jerk over it when Obama does exactly what he said he would do..
Meaning Republicans have accomplished absolutely nothing during their first 30 days other than show America how arrogant they are.
