"Bipartisanship"
Edited on Fri Mar-02-07 10:01 AM by ck4829
After the election, Bush pledged to work with the new Democratic majority.

Actions speak louder than words however, and since the election, Bush and the Republicans have have not been bipartisan, but have demanded that Democrats support the Bush Administration's military policies along with other things, and we have seen very little support from the Republicans to give the Democrats what we have voted them in for.

There are many qualities one could use to describe "Bipartisanship", one of these being "give and take", but that does NOT mean "you give and we take".

I say we withhold support from the Bush Administration and Republican Agendas until they agree to support a plethora of socially liberal policies.

Fair deal, no?

2. I don't understand the push for bipartisanship by either party
Partisanship is the heart of a free country, I would think. The evil hateful entity which is the republican party toss that word around only so they can hammer dems at a future date. Bipartisanship, or no partisanship, thrives under a theocracy which christian conservatives want for our country since they can't seem to wrap their heads around the concept of constitutional liberty for all.

Long live partisanship.
