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..

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

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.

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.
