Why is MSNBC going nuts over McConnell's comment ....

[Tx4obama]

The talking heads on MSNBC are going nuts over McConnell saying that he is 'CONFIDENT' that there will be an agreement.

When President Obama said the same thing a couple of days ago, about being 'confident' an agreement would be reached, the media didn't go batshit crazy over his words.

MSNBC is becoming a bit too much republican lately!

1. I know, they are saying any deal that can be reached it's a good thing

2. I'm confident McConnell will look like a turtle tomorrow morning

as he shaves his face in the mirror.

3. Because the MSM

must hype a Republican to mask the disgrace that the Republican Party is.

10. A question for you ...

How come the House voted on the Reid Senate bill before the Senate did?

I thought that the Senate would have to vote first, then send it to the House.

What's up with that?

13. Copy, paste, change the title from S. to HR.

They voted a house version of his bill with an HR number attached to it as opposed to the S number.

4. Because we all know the reason there is no deal is because of irrational Republican oppostion..

they are finally sounding like they are ready to make a deal.. that is news.

5. cause it looks like it could be a breakthrough. pelosi and reid at the white house.....

not a big stretch

[kirby]

7. breakthrough == capitulation, as usual n/t

6. No idea-- just turned it on but

Is that young women who reported a few minutes ago really named Krystal Ball? Really?

[Tx4obama]

8. Yes, that is her real name.

SNIP

Ball's father, Edward Ball, was born in West Virginia and has a Ph.D. in physics. Her mother, Rose Marie Ball, is an educator in King George County.<2> The name Krystal came from her father, a physicist who did his dissertation on crystals

9. As the time limit approaches in a manufactured crisis

The elites (who own MSM) are ready for the culmination of all their effort to push their agenda.

Think TARP and the fear they used to ram through those huge payouts to corporations as an example.

The permanent crippling of social programs to free up money to leave tax rates on the wealthy and corporations forever low is their goal.

They must believe they are close to that goal if they're promoting McConnell's weak statement as "important".

12. McConnell is yanking the media's chain. He is in it for the default. nt
