Hey MSN talking heads why not point this out?

[Ichingcarpenter]

The Speaker allows time, energy and money on votes against the Affordable Care Act 42 times on any given day knowing he doesn’t have the votes, yet can’t quite seem to bring a vote to the floor to keep the nation running and not taking the economy further because he says we need to trust him that no one would vote for it.

Plus
The GOP blocked 19 requests to negotiate before the shutdown


Its not hard to report the facts.

2. The fifth estate to report the facts, that sounds

like too much work for them when talking points are so cheap and sooooooo much easier.....

3. Brilliant! Too bad I think it will

be a cold day in hell, so to speak before the US mediaheads bring up those FACTS of life.

4. Excellent!

Boehner wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. That is really what he wants. Listen to his interview with Stephanopoulos on ABC last Sunday. Tell your Republican friends to listen to it. If you can deal with video, cut the rest of the interview and just send your friends that part. It is very clear for all to hear. Boehner just got tired and let his defenses down, I think. He bared his real self. He is a lot less likely to get re-elected if his constituents hear what Boehner's real self said. I know that area of the country. Lots of people are just barely making it and only thanks to Social Security -- and right their in Boehner's home district.

10. And it wouldn't be "fair" to report the truth about the Rs.

Just look at how Mann and Ornstein were practically ostracized from the political talk shows they'd previously been frequent guests on after they published their Washington Post editorial, Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem.

6. The MSNBC hosts have been on the case,

but that's basically been it. Of course FOX would never remind their viewers about this, and both them and CNN are as busy as ever playing false equivalence.

7. If they report all the facts,

then they open themselves up to complaints of being the "liberal media" and they can't risk that.

8. Rachel Maddow did a great job last night

Going member by member, taking the member's statement, and proving that he had the vote
