Re: Bipartisanship, know your enemy, * is still the same LIAR
thief, cheat, and arrogant evildoer that he has always been. There's a saying, when you sober up a horse thief all you got is a sober horse thief. In other words, nothing has changed about his character, his personality, his habits, etc.

I am all for working with others, even others who disagree with me/us - I think the Country desperately needs this right now; it was modeled by our forefathers who were smart enough to put the good of the whole ahead of personal differences. We need to get smart and have debates on the issues, the facts and we need to do it while working with others who hold different opinions. Democrats have been willing to do this for years now but these Rethugs wouldn't have it, they preferred not to have a direct discussion on the facts.

This administration has demonstrated zero ability to respect those who disagree, who dissent, who hold different opinions or have different ideas. Currently, * has no choice but to appear willing to work with the Democrats...not so fast. And, I hope that the Democrats will embrace the "know thy enemy" phrase and take it to heart. I actually think they have been doing this for quite some time now. It took them awhile to "get it" but they finally did. It's important that they don't stop now.

I have a rule, I never vote for the son of a Bush and I never trust them either. This man may smile and smile and be the villain. Another phrase to keep handy in dealing with * comes from the Bible, I can't quote it verbatim but it's something like, "...be wise as the serpent and gentle as the lamb."

Not so fast...I'm not ready to make nice but we have work to do on behalf of this Country and its people so let's do it and let's work with others who will work with us but let's not turn a blind eye to the enemy.

1. He Knows That He Can Say Anything - It Has No Significance
Edited on Fri Nov-10-06 12:43 AM by MannyGoldstein
Since he rules absolutely through Executive Orders and Signing Statements, the Congress has almost no significance. He's purely paying lip service to calm the rabble while he destroys the Constitution.

(When will people understand how incredibly dangerous this is - it's precisely how Germany went from being the most Liberal Democracy on earth, to the Third Reich, in just a few years... SO FRUSTRATING!!!)

5. "...let's not turn a blind eye to the enemy." Good advice.


Never, Ever Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq .... and, now he willfully provided nuke-making instructions to terrorists -- if you doubt it, just check 'the google' ....
