Suddenly, the word of the day is "bi-partisan".
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 10:15 PM by Patsy Stone
Every wingnut is calling for bi-partisanship. Hoping Nancy Pelosi will be a "small d" Democrat.

"Please, Nancy!" they cry, "Please don't make us hold meetings in the basement."
"Please, Nancy!" they implore, "Please don't be as petty and small and as bullying as we were."
"Please, Nancy!" they wail hopefully, "Please don't make us present out bills at 3 a.m. on Tuesday mornings."

:eyes:

Yes...now they're ALL interested in the good of America.

What a difference a day makes.

p.s. My word of the day is "screwn".

1. Yeah.
And "divided" and "deadlock". None of that "mandate" stuff now.

2. Bipartisanship with Repukes is date-rape.
Common GOOD.... NOT Common Ground!

5. No--only interested in making themselves look good.
We can't let them have this talking point.

They say "bi-partisan?" We say "good of the country."

They say "obstructionist?" We say THANK YOU!

I'm ready to sleep for a long time; and, when I wake up, the Dems will STILL be in control and charting a direction for us on a wise and wonderful course!

10. "Can't we all just get along?"
"I mean, now that we can't kick sand in your faces and laugh because the lifeguard is our friend?"

But: we're better than that. We want the government to work, and to work the way it is supposed to.

So, the bullies are in fact "screwn". But we believe in the two-party system, even if it's something they don't understand, and have tried to destroy.

14. Oh, and while we're at it?
We should have a paper trail so we can verify the votes. Did you know you can't do a real recount even if we all think Allen won? Maybe there's a problem with the election system?

Look, we all just need to put these little differences aside, but Nancy should apologize for her mean remarks about Bush, don'tcha think?

Let's not get into impeachment either. The country doesn't need that right now. I'm just looking out for what's best for the country and what's best is to not dwell on how much Bush sucks.

Screwn, screwn and screwn.

11. I love Nancy
I got to say I am so proud of Speaker Pelosi.
Don't be fooled by her elegence and dignity, I
know women, she is tough as nails and I wouldn't
want to cross her.

Once this BS about bush working with dems
passes, he f'ks us a few times more, lies and
doublecrosses us and goes on f'king up
everything he touches, Nancy is going to get her
mother of five voice on and kick some serious
ass.

I say drain the swamp.
When they see what's she's made of, she
may be the next president.

Also very proud of our Howard Dean, I'm proud
to be a democrat all my life, even when we
were down I never gave up. I knew the proud and
dignified democrats that built this country, and
I am now immersed in the whiney spoiled lazy
rednecks that stole it and dismantled it.
The contrast is clear.
It wouldn't stand.

I knew all the
way that the lying borrowing waring spending
hollier than thou scum were going down under
the weight of their own hypocricy.

The question is now can it be restored from
generations deep bankruptcy and despair.

22. Welcome to DU, TJtheDem!
I agree: Nancy is very tough, very smart, and she is going to do a great job as the first female Speaker of the House (and first Italian-American, and first Californian).

Thanks for joining us.

27. Thank you
Thank you for the welcome.

I'm a keen observer in all things and
have watched the whole story written since
reagan.

It was all planned out and it could not
stand. The iraq plan by the PNAC authors
was actually first written from inside
the reagan white house.

I've been around the rednecks for many years
immersed in their lies. At work they pass
around email articles of fear and terror and
hype up the war on terror to justify their
declining pitiful existence.

They are highly networked to pass around lies
and demonization about their opponents.

I could write a book about their dillusions.

I think the 30-35% that produce hitlers will never
change. Forget them but that doesn't leave any
room for error to govern effectively and retain
the loyalty of the margin.

13. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the word "bipartisan"
It's faded from our culture and language over the last two decades.

15. It's from Aramaic
It means reasonable discourse and sane discussion of issues. I haven't experienced it either myself, but I hear it's lovely.

18. Hmmmmm.
I thought it was some kind of sexual proclivity the GOP outlawed decades ago (except for the closet, of course).

29. Don't worry. Every person in elected office has to say the word "bi-partisan"...
...three times in the 24 hours following the election. It's like a law or sumpin'.

Then, in the 25th hour, it's "Up Against the Wall, Red-State Mutha!!"
