So, what ever happened to the spirit of Bi-Partisanship?

Republicans, you do know that to be Bi-Partisan is to not attack, attack, attack all the time. In fact, the whole idea of Bi-Partisanship is to extend your hand across the aisle once in a while.

Now if I was president-elect Obama, I would be mighty leary of making anymore non-reciprocated acts of Bi-Partisanship.

Sir, if I may, I would cut them off at their knees and smite them while they are down. It appears you have to beat this elephant in order to make it behave.

And please, Mr. Hannity et al, contrary to what Rush to Judgement might say, being Bi-Partisan dosn't mean you have to fuck a democrat in anyway shape or form. That extends both literally and figuratively.

Have you looked around lately at what so called Bi-Partisanship has done to our country?
I'm sorry to come on strong but there is no such thing with this bunch.

Seems as though nobody has any use for it. And that's a shame, really...

So many good things could happen if we could just have a little bit of it in our lives.

But then we'd have to trust them...

And that's the tough part.

"smote" is past tense

Otherwise, great post!


:rofl:

some sort of full disclosure would be - or was - in order

Now, can we go back and clean up that little 2000 misunderstanding ... or at least that war thing?

:rofl:

on edit: Oh, and I need a little extra time on this paper I am writing. Thanks.

They are always out for themselves. They don't give a shit about America or Americans.

You reach out to the moderates in the spirit of bipartisanship.

There is always going to be the far right who will always oppose everything you do. If you reach out to the John McCain wing of the party, it will marginalize the Sarah Palins, sending the party into more infighting.

The whole time the Democrats enjoy support from the majority of the nation and get the political capital to do whatever they want.

when it comes to what has happened since 2001.

nearly half the eligible populace doesn't vote

if queried they will tell you that MONEY and POWER are the only things that matter

...that their vote is meaningless

Prove to them that they are wrong, and the Republican Party can go fuck itself

The more the republicans continue to refuse to compromise on stuff like immigration, the more they screw themselves over in the long run.

Take a look at all of these growing voting blocks, and how the GOP is screwing themselves over with each.

Hispanics: The fastest growing racial minority in America, the GOP is screwing themselves over with them by refusing to vote for any immigration reform that Hispanics could support, and some of the GOP's supporters sound outright racist towards hispanics when they shout stuff when holding antiimmigration signs.

Young voters: It's a no brainer that to stand a fighting chance in 50 years you can't keep on losing the youth vote. Yet the GOP has done things lately like openly attack pop culture and things that young people love, turning it into a war of generations. Sure that may work in the present, but in the long run you're screwing yourself over by doing that. Young voters are much more tolerant towards other persecuted/hated minority groups in America, for example I believe 2/3's of young people (people 30 and under) support gay marriage. While only around 3% of the population is gay, the GOP is screwing themselves over with the young people with their religious right crusades against stuff like gay marriage. Just like religious right people get pissed off at the thought of gays marrying, the GOP also angers those who support gay marriage with that kind of rhetoric about how horrible gay marriage is.

Bush also didn't help with young voters either, as a young 20 something person I knew prosperity under Bill Clinton, and failure and failure after Bush. The worst part for the GOP about young voters is that how someone votes the first few times they do vote is how they'll usually vote for the rest of their lives.

College educated whites who work as professionals: This group is growing because of more people then ever going to college. These white people tend be more liberal then other whites. This group of voters is also growing.

of someone who has slapped your face.
These bullies don't respect "being nice",
to them it is a sign of weakness.
I got your Bi-Partisanship right here!
(while grabbing my crotch)

the heads with later when they refuse to work to do anything constructive, as they always do.

I think its a game that has to be played just to cement the upperhand but the actual real thing is more or less a joke that means in a practical sense that you're trying to vulture a few votes to share the heat or the cover up defections.

This is how they play. It has been this way for as long as I can remember.

every potential aspect of representation and or participation in Our Government.

by 'we the people'. And that ain't going to happen, so ...oh well.

without ANY compromises by REPUKES...you should know that by now...

And bipartisanship is ALWAYS desired when Democrats WIN.

You can bet your sweet ass that if and when the repukes are back in charge, they will NEVER mention or even think of "bipartisanship"...
