The Republican Definition of Bipartisanship

[AUYellowDog]

Is it just me or does the Republican definition of bipartisanship seem to be "Become a republican or be labeled as partisan."

1. That's pretty much it.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

2. Bipartisanship = monopartisanship.

War is peace.
Up is down.
Black is white.

3. Slight modification: become a puke or be labeled "unamerican", "traitor",

etc. (maybe "French")

4. Some more defintions I've learned recently:

Republicans believe Filibusters are bad, except when they do it.
Republicans believe all judicial nominees deserve an up and down vote, except then a Democrat President does the nominating.
Republicans believe anonymous sources are bad, unless the anonymous source provides information they like.
Republicans believe in a free press, as long as the "free press" publishes things they condone.

5. We found out when Trent Lott was majority leader

that it only takes one Democrat to officially make something bipartisan. Everytime they had Zell Miller's vote, they said the issue had bipartisan support.

7. They should just have 3 or 4 members switch to minor parties

That way they can say that their legislation has "multiparty" support.

6. didn't a notorious republican describe it as "date rape"?

Seems to be accurate, judging from their actions.
