Response to Original message |
| 21. Pelosi has been a tiger for years; it was the spineless senate that failed to act |
|
Under the leadership of Pelosi, the Democratically controlled House passed over 400 Progressive pieces of legislation.
Then Harry Reid let "his friends on the other side of the aisle" control the agenda in the Senate and none of those went anywhere. A few got through in name only -- only after being watered down by Corporate Lobbyist rewrites till it was hardly worth signing.
If we had Nancy Pelosi running the House *and* the Senate we'd have gotten a million times more good stuff done.
Can we *PLEASE* get a Progressive Dem in Harry Reid's chair.
