So why is the MSM (including Fox) acting as though it’s in the bag?

FOX is going on how they voted months ago, before the pressure was put on these people

THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE VOTES!!

What is “O” doing on TV? WHY do we have to listen to this drivel?

This must be why they closed the building... Heard earlier that Cavuto mentioned “something was going down at 17:00”

Because the “process” is starting to smell like Gore has already won Florida, who cares what happens in the Panhandle where they’re still voting?

I got a gut feeling watching the pep rally they are having as we speak that they may not have the votes. It’s like they decided to have the honors ceremony now because they won’t be able to tomorrow. We must pray.

Although they are far better than the alternative, I think FOX is just a lighter version of “Repeaters” rather than reporters, selling rumors and speculation.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Shep Smith refer to this as “Insurance Reform”, thus buying the Dem party line talking point

It’s disinformation. Can’t have the proles gettin all uppity now. As to the “why?”: just follow the money.

Cause they're Deemocrats, and their commie slimeball media sycophants trust their commie slimeball overlords to pull some shenanigan and get it done.

Honestly, I think FOX is grandstanding and wants the drama.

SHAME on them...leave the sleazy grandstanding and campaigning to two bit sleazeballs like PMSNBC...

Two reasons come to mind. Ratings; they like the horse race scenario predicting it for the Dems to win. See Dems, Fox News ain't so bad so don't restrict access to us.

Because the left wing media—and YES, FOX is included—is simply reporting whatever it is told by its friends in the democrat party. And the DC left figures calling it a done deal will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Its better for the show!! If they were reporting it DEAD! they wouldn’t have their bases in a complete frenzy! We would back off if we knew it was Dead and the RATS would start abandoning their SH*t(correction: Ship) if they knew they were loosing. The loosing team has to beleive they can make it over the line up until its over. Even if they get this over by one freaking vote or two, thats a disterous statement and as the Stench of this Mess sees sunlight, people are going to freak out. They plan on hiring 16,000 new IRS Agents to come after John Q. Public for their freakin Healthcare, bad enough it was just for our taxes!
The bureacracies will be humongous and not a cent of those costs are shown in the CBO numbers. As Boehner said today: This is Armeggeddon for America, it will destroy her!

So they can claim that some Dems were bought off by Insurance companies to vote "No!", when in fact they did so because of constituents.

Its the old, " WHE SHOULD HAVE WON BUT FOR THE DIRTY CRIMINAL CONSERBATIVES!" when in fact the Dems have been the thugs and criminals in this. We have been seeing it since 2000 and the Florida chad issue.

BTW, they are no longer "Dems". They are effing nationalist socialists , yes, FASCISTS!One look at the IRS provisions in this bill would lead any historian to that conclusion.

If they have the votes and this passes I want a tax refund for the extra taxes I am paying in Alameda County CA
In the mid term elections several years back they raised the sales tax 1/2% than the gov raised it again because we are in debt up to our eyeballs we pay in my Country 9.75% sales tax the 1/2% increase was to give everyone in Alameda county health care that does not have it I want my money back if this things passes I feel like I will be double, triple and more taxed.
