New Dem Tactic: Appear To Be Open To Bipartisanship

[CrusaderFrank]

If my Republicans would get into the mix of fashioning some legislation, they will be able to pull enough blue dogs to fashion some decent consensus legislation. To suggest we have been offering worthwhile insurance reform bills over the years is a falsehood. Business is going to have step up, the corporatists are going to have to step off, and America is going to have be served for a change.

If the dems wanted bipartisanship why did they do their dirt in secret, behind closed doors and with Republicans???? I call BS..

Willow, The Dems are not looking for bipartisanship. They're looking for political cover. If they can talk a few republicans into voting for bad legislation then they can go back to their districts and whine, "well THEY did it too."

 

[Avatar4321]

bipartisanship means that the politicians are joining together to screw over the people. Just look at McCain-Fiengold

 

[JakeStarkey]

Avatar is failing to nuance and place matters into context. Bi-partisanship means "the center path", son, which is good for the country. Too far to the left or too far to the path, and the country runs off the road. No wonder our party got whacked in the last election with fools like you opining about what this nation needs.

 

[mudwhistle]

Why on earth should we cooperate with arrogant pricks whose policies make the country worse off?

Worse off than what?

8 trillion in debt?
Two wars?
A health care system that is the number one cause of bankruptcy?
A Dow Jones that fell from 11,500 to 6,500?
A ruined economy?
Foreign money in our politics?

Oh, I forgot, THOSE ARE THE REPUBLICANS SUCCESSES!

The Republicans still think they are in the majority.

Republicans say Democrats won't work with them. Lindsey Graham found out the hard way. You can't call your opponents "arrogant pricks", and that's one of the "nicer" things Republicans have said.

Tell your base Democrats want to destroy the country. Then, if you do work with them, it's not Democrats who complain, it's the Republican Base complaining that Republicans want to work with people WHO WANT TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY. Couldn't ya just die?

See, they paint themselves into a corner and then complain about everything BUT THE PAINT! Could they be bigger fools? Seriously?

Hey, anyone know a "Nazi/Fascist/Socialist/Communist who wants to destroy America"? Republicans do. Just ask them.

They haven't called them arrogant pricks. We did.

The Repugs have been asking for a year for a seat at the table and had the GD door slammed in their faces.

You talk about 8 trillion.....now we're at $12.9 trillion and fixin to be $14.5 in a couple of months. The DOW fell from 13,000 to around 5000. Get your numbers right dumb-ass.

Speaking of foreign money....let's talk about that Jew George Soros funding Hillary and Obama to the gills.

And the cherry on the top is that every damned economist that isn't on the take knows that Obama's fucked up policies will ruin the country. That's why they claim that's what he's up to.....not because of any political agenda.

Yeah, too bad you guys lost "Kennedy's seat"

and how did obama run the center path? how has he run down it since his election ""gop"" jake?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yurt, until the Republicans (that's not you, you are a corporationist along with Rab and most of the others here) get into the mix and be part of the governing, Obama will be dragged left by the far fringe of his party. We have to be part of the solution. We are in the minority, son, for a reason. We cannot dictate but we can participate.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

LOL

How can anyone drag a Marxist Ideologue Leftward? It's like saying "my dog was dragged into licking its balls"

Obama treats anyone who doesn't kiss his behind like the enemy.

Figure the odds he's ever gonna work with them....or properly represent any of us.

Posting While Under The Influence of Right Wing Lunacy Alert!​

The Democrats and the President have been telling us all year that they won the election so what they say goes. What we want doesn't matter.

Who the heck is this 'We' and 'They' you speak of?

If you in your madness can find the quotes ''what we say goes. '' ''What they want doesn't matter.'' made by a rational and reliable Deomocratic Leader, I'll eat my hat and pen a poem.

You people need help.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Wherever did you come up with that? Yurt, Obama has never been overly rude. He won't be disrespected, for sure. McConnell and Alito and the bozo from the House found that out. We won't know until we try. And if it won't work, then we have some solid grounds for the fall. Right now, we have nothing.

He is the far left fringe of his party. A moderate doesnt surround himself with extremists as advisors. A moderate doesnt have extremists write the legislation that no one is allowed to read before they have to pass it.

There is nothing moderate about Barrack Obama.

Now, as for Republicans governing, they are doing exactly what we sent them to Washington to do. They are getting government out of our lives and letting us govern our own lives. I, frankly, don't have a problem with that.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Avatar, none of that is true. What loony world are you living in? Fringe of his party? But you are the whacky fringe of our party.

You arent in my party. So what's it to you?

 

[JakeStarkey]

You are not pretending you are Republican? Thank goodness, then.

I love the way our Democrats are so accommodating to our foes.

Now Obama wants to turn control of the internet over to someone else....preferally China.

Obama Surrendering Internet to Foreign Powers

Sunday, 31 Jan 2010
By: Bradley A. Blakeman

Without the ingenuity of America’s brightest minds and the investment of
U.S. Taxpayer dollars, there would be no Internet, as we now know it today.

Now, the Obama administration has quietly moved to cede control of the web from the United States to foreign powers.

Some background. The Internet came into being thanks to the genius work ofAmerican's, Dr.Robert E. Kahn and Dr. Vinton G. Cerf. These men while employed by the Department of Defense in the DARPA office, (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), in the early 1970’s, went to work conceiving, designing and implementing the idea of ‘open-architecture networking’. This breakthrough in connectivity and networking was the birth of the Internet.

These two gentlemen had the vision and the brainpower to create a worldwide computer Internet communications network that forever changed the world and how we communicate in it.

For years the International Community has been pressuring the United States
to surrender its control and management of the Internet. They want an International body such as the United Nations or even the International
Telecommunications Union, (an entity that coordinates international telephone communications), to manage all aspects of the Internet in behalf of all nations.

The argument advanced for those seeking International control of the Internet is that the Internet has become such a 'powerful', 'pervasive', and a 'dependent' form of international communications, that it would be dangerous and inequitable for any one nation to control and manage it.

Just this past spring within months of Obama taking office, his administration, through the Department of Commerce, agreed to relinquish some control over IANA and their governance. The Obama Administration has agreed to give greater representation to foreign companies and countries on IANA.

This amounts to one small step for Internationalism and one giant leap for surrendering America¹s control over an invention we have every right and responsibility to control and manage. It is in America¹s economic and national security interests NOT to relinquish any control we currently are responsible for regarding the control, operation and functionality of one of
the modern world's greatest inventions and most powerful communications
network.

Look no further than the recent move by China against Google to censor the
Internet and you can envision what can happen when other nations less free
than the U.S. seek to control the Internet beyond even their own borders.

America needs to wake-up. If we lose control over the management of the
Internet, we have given away one of our Nations greatest assets with nothing
in return to show for it. The Obama Administration¹s current actions will
set in motion a slow and complete take-over of the Internet by the U.N. or
some other equally U.S. hostile and unfriendly international body. And, once
it is gone, it will be gone forever.
