Hosts At MSMBC Still Claim They Do Not Understand Why Republicans Act As They Do

MSNBC's evening shows should look to "PolitiDose" for the answer, it is there in plain sight.  Their hosts over a period of time have asked that question over and over.  It is not really hard to understand the republican's M.O.:  Personal attacks, lies, false information, hate, their trumped up scandals and constant accusations toward President Obama and the democratic party in general.

The answer is republicans have no record of accomplishments that move the country and its people forward.  They also do not have any policy plans or ideas to introduce or explain to the people on the issues.  They know the news media is a sucker for any story so they keep feeding the media their crud.  And like an obedient child the news media waste time by giving this crud exposure and never hold the republicans responsible for their lack of informing the people of a policy.

Its the old shell game.   Keep the news media busy with the republican crud with little time left to expose the republicans ideology and lack of policy or ideas.  The ACA is a good example.  The news media spent a great deal of time allowing republicans to lambaste the ACA but spent almost zero time asking them to articulate details of their own health plan they said they have to replace the ACA.  It must be written in invisible ink.

The republican M.O. is easy to understand if you pay attention because it goes back to the Reagan years.  Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 ran the country a total of 20 years.  Yet during that time Rush Limbaugh and the conservative news media used the same M.O. crud tactic against democrats while those 3 President ran the show.  Why would the media do that while they ran the country?  Well, it was because other than a failed trickle down economic policy, there was no other policy to articulate for the republican party.  And that my friends really says it all.
