What do you think about this bipartisanship...
I see every republiCON showing up on these shows spouting bipartisanship and then all of their talking points afterwards is that that are on the same old message about stay the course on Iraq and other matters. They claim that they are fighting a war on terror as though there aren't problems here and the rest of the world...The main thing I see is that they want to say that they have WON or that there is going to be some type of VICTORY...I can't wait to see what will happen in January...

2. I'd like to smack the next person who says bipartisan
It's a Republic buzz word. It means absolutely nothing. They'd claim they're being "bipartisan" by shutting Democrats out of any meetings, votes, deliberations, anything, and the sheeple would nod their heads and say, "Isn't it nice how the Republics are being so bipartisan?"

3. They seem to think that we will forget what has been going on...
for the last six years... We won't forget. When looking at the repugs showing up on theses shows they seem to want to force a show down between them and the american people...

4. Losers want the winners to share. No group has refused to share
in bipartisanship more than the R's during the last 4 years. No group deserves more of its own medicine.

6. Pick the reasonable ones, like Specter and Hagel
Kick the rest to the curb and let the decent ones get a bunch of credit. The wingnuts will howl, but if you have, say, Lugar, appearing on stage with, say, Obama or Clinton, we win, they lose.

13. We have to watch which senators...
congressmen and women get behind what issues, or seem to be forgetting about the thievery and lies that have taken place over the past six years...there needs to be investigations and some light shown on the cockroaches that have been destroying this country. The people voted for change...

14. Oh ok...I was simply referring to the bare minimum that Democrats should expect from Republican
members of Congress before they even think about being bipartisan come January.

9. Neocon Bipartisanship means,
both parties agree to do whatever the neocons say. I hate to say this, but while we may get some domestic things done after the Dems take over in Jan, I don't see anything good happening in Iraq till Bush is gone.
