Will Bipartisanship Work?

[erpowers]

As of late many people in the media and across the country are asking if can bipartisanship will be able to work. The answer to that question is no. The reason is Bush does not really want bipartisanship and never has wanted bipartisanship. Bush does not use the same definition for bipartisanship that most people use. For most people bipartisanship is working together and making compromises in order to get things done. In most cases politicans try to do what is best for the country. For Bush bipartisanship is he coming up a policy and the Democrats just nodding their heads and doing what he said. For Bush bipartisanship is he telling the Democrats to jump and then the Democrats asking how high. Bipartisanship for Bush is the Democrats rolling over and giving him supreme power. None of the previously mentioned things are going to happen this time around so bipartisanship will dissolve very soon.

This time around the Democrats will ask questions about Bush's handling of the Iraq War, the economy, and other issues. This time around the Democrats will push a policy that helps middle class Americans. They will also stand up to Bush's horrible policies that have caused trouble for this country. Very shortly Bush will begin to claim that Democrats are holding up the Democratic process for partisan reasons. Very soon he will resort back to the smear politics he used in 2003 when Democrats first tried to question him. Bipartisanship will not last.

1. Bush only does what he wants to do

He doesn't know the real meaning of compromise so he can't function in a Bipartisanship manner. To him it is ether his way or the highway. He tells everyone what he wants to do and they come out with spin in order to force those who disagree with him.

You are very accurate in your post. I just hope the Democratic leaders catch on to him.

3. Sure. Just like fire and ice; oil and water; heaven and hell.

I'm sure 'WE' will find a way to work together (wink-wink).
