Why in the hell are we not hearing about...

[butterfly77]

how the republiCONS are playing games on the floor and blocking the extension of unemployment benefits?

Why aren't the media showing clips of them talking nonsense on the floor..

1. My guess

It's not a "legacy builder".

3. Cons and the media seem to think this is a game..

xmas is coming up and they may get more than they bargained for they also don't report the real crime statistics but many people can see what is really going on..

2. It makes them look really petty and vile...

So the "librul media" isn't about to show that.

4. Some of these people in the media really think this is a joke..

they don't realize that we aren't dealing with the generation of the past.This generation is used to having their ipods,video games,the latest clothes they keep looking at elections and other incidents of the past people are not like they were in the past and a lot of them just don't give a damn..

6. We are in uncharted waters on a lot of levels...

You're very right... we can't look backward and try to figure out the future. It's a game to the media these days... and that's a pity. The press, which includes broadcast journalism, is the only industry mentioned in our constitution... it's a sacred trust, really. And it's being squandered. For every really good journalist we have now, we have 20 truly horrid ones.

8. No,tell me about it...

10. It isn't news that the republicans are holding up a bill like this, they always do.

Had they let it sail through without a lot of bullshit, that would be news.
