That should tell you who the more mature party is right there.

1. No. That should tell you how BFEE/media is framing the power.

Helen Thomas: Also, why does he think this mandate from the voters doesn't mean to pull out?
Snow: Because I don't think that's a majority opinion.


Bypartisanship is a myth, like the tooth fairy. Or the war on Christmas.

2. I noticed that, too.
How come it's divine retribution time when they come into power but, when we do, bipartisanship and reconciliation are the orders of the day?

3. Remember the "political capital" that GWB had gained in the last election
That gave him the authority to overturn our Social Security tradition?

4. BIpartisanship is for Dems
Repubs don't want it. THey want CONTROL BACK!
And if we don't give it to them, they will take it.

Watch for the new and improved 911. After all, now when they LIHOP or MIHOP
it will be the dems they can point the finger at.
Don't unload your guns.
