Because they have lost the nerve-endings in their probative fingers; they have lost sight in the corner of their eye and can see only what is straight ahead on the presidential podium; their ears hear only certain voices in certain moments (and don't hold those voices accountable when the tables turn); and their collective conscience has been seared by repeatedly ignoring the high-minded hypocrisy of the hands that feed them.
I doubt the networks will show any of these clips of their learned Democrat talking heads in the senate. Like liberals, the network news has a short attention span, but on Tuesday when "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) seemed particularly irked by the question about "reconciliation," they should have laughed in his face when he said abruptly.
"... I have been told that my Republican friends are lamenting reconciliation. I would recommend to them to go back and look at history. Since 1981, reconciliation has been used 21 times—the vast majority of those reconciliation efforts have been by Republicans. So ... they should stop crying about reconciliation."
After laughing, the reporters should have said, "Well, if they are crying about it, they are doing so much quieter than you and your peers did just a few years ago." Here are clips of the Dems crying about the dangers of passing any bill with only a 51% vote, and I might add, making a pretty good case about the founding father's intent, which they are now eager to ignore.
If the Liberals choose to force Obamacare through with a mere 51% vote (with what they dubbed "the nuclear option" five years ago) when only 25% of the voters want it, they will stir a revolution unlike anything seen in 200 years. The vote would be like a spoiled child deliberately spilling a box of BBs because they know it will be impossible to pick all of them up. It will be like that same child spilling grape juice on the flag, setting a stain in the fabric of the Republic just to watch the new Republican majority in 2010 try to get the stain out. Such an act of desperation will be done TO America not FOR America.

UPDATE: And one week later my post is proven by Matt Lauer. Listen to this so-called news man get the facts wrong on many accounts. Matt filled that same seat in front of the camera when all of the above statements were made, and yet his short term memory (AKA deliberate revision of history) allows him to act as it the term "Nuclear Option" was recently coined by Republicans and to act as if none of the key leaders from Obama to Clinton to Reid to Dodd to Schumer were not making strong arguments against this "undemocratic" process.
