I congratulate them on their victory last Saturday night in the Senate, and while I can't quite wish them success on the course they are following, I'm ...

Obama has given Repubs every opportunity to join in a 'bipartisan' way to address the great problems afflicking our country. Repubs have always played the bipartisanship card as a bluff, always intending(and in fact voting) NO to every effort by Democrats. Reality is everything will have to pass with just Democratic votes. So the real opposition is coming from the ...

snip We have now regressed. Rarely in our history has partisanship been more narrow and rigid. The Republican Party is frozen in an obstructionist, anti-Obama posture, while offering no counterproposals. Our vaunted democratic process is dysfunctional. Party comity and bipartisanship are at an ebb. As a result, the process of nominating and confirming federal judges has ...

turn, because even then, things go their way most of the time. You try appealing to their sense of fairness and bipartisanship and you get screwed every time and things settle in the center right at best. I'm so fucking sick of the ignorant, science denying, racist, bigoted, simple-minded outlook being accepted as mainstream I could scream. But that would make me an extremist. Ah, WTF: ...

1. We do not really know because polls cannot be trusted. 2. A focus on the negative by the socalled mainstream media. 3. The perception that the Obama Administration has done more for Wall Street than it has for mainstreet. 4. Progressives are pizzed that Obama still is willing to seek some "mythical" bipartisanship. 5. Progressives are pizzed that Obama does not seem to be willing...

Bipartisanship is supposed to be negotiated between the party members from both parties....the Dems have chosen a "shut the Republicans out" strategy.....THAT'S ...

You're being a bit unfair. Bush and Obama both pledged to appoint at least one member of the opposite party to their cabinet. Bush appointed Norman Mineta. Bush also split from his party on major legislation. He voted for bailouts widely opposed by his own party. Remember, though, that everyone was wary of Bush's bipartisanship back in 2000. Democrats demanded it, but at the same ...
