Bipartisanship is politicians of both parties joining together to screw over the American people.
How does the Truth compromise with a lie? How does good compromise with evil?
The idea that compromise is the solution to every problem is false. Sometimes you have to take a side and stick with it.
I like freedom. I'm going to stick with that side. If you want total government control, that's fine, but i sure as heck am not compromising with you.
I was reading the thread and got this far. Bipartisanship is not a good thing in politics. I don't know if I'm on Avatar's wavelength here but if I voted for a party platform and then the bastards went doggo on me and moved away from the party platform in the name of "bipartisanship" I'd be pretty bloody annoyed. If you have the numbers then knock your politicians into shape and make them vote along party lines. I reckon that might be the Dems problem, it's too sooky.
You, Sir, have hit the nail on the head.
The Dems in the gen pop are upset because NOTHING is getting done. The Reps in the gen pop is upset not only because they are no longer in power, but they don't want ANYTHING done.
The Rep politicians then tout the meme that "the American population is upset at the administration" when its true technically, but not realistically, because they aren't upset for the same thing, in fact they are upset for totally opposite reasons.
The minute something gets done the polls will change in favor of Obama. The Dems didn't get 60% in Congress for no reason, 40% CANNOT expect to run the show. It just doesn't work that way.
Dems need to pull their socks up and get their assess to work. Damn the "ramming through" BS.
