I've heard enough of the word "bi-partisan".


The first darn thing I heard as I turned on the evening news was our new governor(R) spouting the word.
I'm tired of it, and feel it is not worth the breath it takes to say it. The word and actions associated with it may have been, in my opinion, one of the things that got us into trouble during this election.

Phooey. I think it is time-in fact I know it is- to fight like the devil against Boehner, Mitch and the other cronies who are also spouting this word.

To take a little license, I may sound:

Like an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Obama said he was eager to find common ground with Speaker of the House John Boehner and new Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“I would enjoy having some Kentucky Bourbon with Mitch McConnell,” the president said. “I think we can have a productive relationship.”
