So much for "bipartisanship"...

How do you work with a political party whose members believe "compromise" is a cardinal sin?

How do you work with a party whose Senators vow to "break" you?

How do you work with a party of shameless, completely shameless hypocrites, who defended the previous administration's use of executive privilege to the bitter end?

How do you work with a party whose members believe that you are a "radical Islamist socialist" from Kenya?

How do you work with a party whose fundamental goals are oppositional to the government's mission, to the interests of the American people?

How do you work with a party that refuses to negotiate in good faith?

The answer is...You don't.

It's about time the Democrats really begin to fight back. Attempts to be "bipartisan" just enable the irrational demagogues of the Right. No more.

Liars. Cheaters. Thieves. Charlatans. Anti-democratic fascists.

You don't work with these people, you defeat them for the common good.

Unfortunately, 'our' money is the only way we can defeat them.
