Bipartisan? Why?

A question: how come the MSM keeps saying that the Democratic Congress should be "bipartisan"?

The Democrats campaigned specifically and blatantly on a platform of opposing Bush and on stopping the Republicans.

That's what they campaigned on, that's what they won on, and THAT is what they have a mandate to do.

The Republicans can piss and whine from now until doomsday, but the American People voted to stop them from pursuing their agenda, and they should just suck that up.

Pardon me, sir, but correct phrase is "Eat shit and die."

And I intend to do all three.

An I'm sorry to see that you are so terribly upset over the fact that you will no long be able to fuck up the country and harm America, but that's just the way it is.

So suck it up.

Iggy, if you Dems expect to accomplish ANYTHING in the next two years, working with the other
party is the ONLY WAY.

So, I guess you are saying that the Republicans accomplished NOTHING, since they certainly didn't work with the other party.

The fact is that it is the Republicans who are partisan and the Republicans who are obstructionist, as the Democrats' agenda is WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT.

If you clowns want to block what the American people want, go for it. But don't expect the Democrats to refuse to obey their mandate just to please a small pack of ideological extremists.

The American People are OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of raising the minimum wage. They are OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of regulating the drug companies. They are OVERWHELMINGLY opposed to privatizing Social Security. They are OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of an orderly, reasonable withdrawal from Iraq.

If you want to block all that, you go right ahead. But the Democrats should vote it through, and force you clowns to go on the RECORD as blocking all of that, and as obstructing what they OVERWHELMINGLY want. Bush can veto it? Well, LET him. Let him use his ONLY vetoes vetoing what America WANTS. How do you think THAT will play in Peoria?

It sounds like a good way to guarantee a Democratic President in 2008.

It's called building a narrative, and forcing you to go on record as the out-of-touch extremists that you are.

And I think the Democrats now have the votes to override some Bushian vetoes. Especially since Bush is politically radioactive, and the Republicans don't want to be too close to him, either. Like stem-cell research maybe? What do you think Bush's reaction will be to having a veto over-ridden? Do you think he'll throw a temper tantrum?
