The D's can have their own commission now for as long as it pleases them to keep it up, keep it up
Democrats need to be able to hide under "bipartisanship"
How do you "hide" under bipartisanship?
Bipartisan is what prevents only one side being able to influence the investigations.
It seems to me this is the GOP wanting to hide under the label of partisanship, so they won't have to deal with what happened.
"Hiding" under the label of being bipartisan isn't trying to suggest bipartisanship will take place nor does it have the intent of being bipartisan from a Democrat perspective, thus the meaning of "hiding" under the label is appropriate in the context it was written in.
So you are contending that a commission represent equally by both parties won't be bipartisan? Care to explain how you come to this conclusion?
Do you believe that a committee containing an equal number of Democrats and Republicans means they aren’t fighting it out, tooth and nail, over the outcome based upon party line interests? The “I’ll sign yours if you sign mine” strategy is bogus and should be prevented by huge fines if caught doing it.
Attack mode tactics used by the LSM and many grandstanding politicians include phrases such as “crossing party lines” like it’s an actual war. It is a war, a war of words with the truth buried somewhere under it. At what cost to the citizens and our country to continue to accept mediocre congressional playbooks?
Are the Democrats and Republicans selecting committee heads who are known to be great compromisers? Do the 2 major parties ostracize specific members who are known to “cross the aisle” a little too much? Yes, and the media even gives us their names as if they are to be considered traitors to whatever party. There are Republicans and Democrats who are known to be possible deal breakers because at times they’ve placed specific issues above strict party lines. My state reps? They vote party lines always. Even though I might back their votes personally, I still see the harm it does to the process to not consider each issue at face value.
Partisan politics wouldn’t be a bad thing if that meant keeping it clean and promoting party solutions. As most know, it’s nothing like that. There are more advertisements about how bad the other guy is to gain votes. Another purposeful divisional tactic is to keep our focus off of the government at large, with constant rants against the opposing party in order to continue to place party over country.
