I wasn't the one who brought up a call for bipartisanship. Bishop did. There's your hypocrite.
How is he a hypocrite?? His post doesn't call out one side or anything.
I didn't mention bipartisanship. I said it would be nice if both sides would govern and do what's right for the country instead of spending all their time & energy attacking each other. I realize the difference is subtle, but not hard to grasp.
I usually don't get involved in that aspect of the argument this thread is. But I just have to say, that NDakota, I can't believe you are that unsophisticated, tone deaf to the behaviors set within posts. Buster may have used a different word than I.
I was going to say something to you Bishop, about a couple of your posts. You know I respect you, but a couple of those posts were way beneath you.
I got the strong impression that you knew/know how weak the argument supporting much of what the Republicans have done in the last say 45 years is, so you wait until someone makes a comment about it, and then take a passive-aggressive swipe at the person making the comment inferring the Democrats haven't done better.
Well, duh! Neither party has much but numb-nuts as a rule. I am really surprised that posters (the ones I consider pretty enlightened, at least) don't see past ideology as a solution, and look for a candidate with a real fucking plan, and an attitude to fix things.
For any of the ideologues, fixing things is shifting things so they will be better for the like minded, everyone else be damned.
Now, Buster on the other hand, may have picked 'the wrong word,' but he puts twenty times the thought into solutions independent of political beliefs, and continues to think of the problems we discuss outside the limits of his own belief structure or his own self interest.
If you want to see how important that is, and how bad bowing to ideology is, start with my previous post, and really research the numb-nuts players that had every chance to avoid the Great Depression, but chose to let the country flounder before they would admit the failure of their ideology.
As I have said before, this I see as W's only redeeming quality. He gave up everything he worked so hard for, including his reputation (history's view of him) to save America from the ruin his administration started. It wasn't enough, because even he couldn't fathom the stupidity he wrought. But he made a small attempt at correction.
Which is a nice segue into the next administration. Watch budget, taxes, and spending, and compare it to programs cut. This will show you how fast this coming administration moves through all phases of hot mess into dumpster fire.
