Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid yet again stymied a Republican attempt to vote on repealing the healthcare reform law Thursday evening.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed that the Senate vote on repeal of Obamacare soon after it returns from vacation in September, The Hill reports. “Let’s have a vote,” McConnell said on the floor. “Is Obamacare making things better or worse? Let’s show the American people what they want. It’s a vote they deserve.”

But Reid denied that possibility. “Republicans are hopelessly stuck in the past,” he said. “They’re stuck in the past when insurance companies were king.”

Now, someone else is king. Neat how that works.

It matters who the Senate majority leader is. We aren’t even getting votes on all the House passed measures because we allowed the Democrats to hold on as the majority. No more joke candidates like Christine O’ Donnell and Sharon Angle going forward please. Buck and McMahon weren’t much better either. In 2010, we should have won Delaware, Nevada and Colorado at least, and instead we threw them away by nominating mediocre to outright lousy candidates.

Well I guess we’ll have to get the Senate back.

I think that will happen.

Dems defend 22, Repubs defend 11.

The state-run media will report this as “those nasty obstructionist Republicans stopped the black jesus for doing the will of the people”.
