Actually, and in reality, (as opposed to blinded partisan ideology), those who know how Government works, minus the emotional rantings, knows that when a bill is submitted from the House to the Senate, the Senate either accepts it or rejects it, by a VOTE. If its rejected, the bill then goes to conference committee. Reid not only didn't send any Dems to committee, he didn't even allow the bill to be voted on
ergo, Reid's the moron shutting down the government to boost his own idiotic ego
