Who here doesn't care about "bipartisanship"?
Edited on Wed Jan-20-10 07:17 PM by Ardent15
I don't. In fact, I would rather this bill be as partisan as possible, because any GOP influence is almost certainly for the worse.

The GOP is bad news. But they're also a minority.

So why the fuck are we catering to them? To appease some group of "moderates" somewhere? To appease corporate stooges?

It's sickening that a Congress can be bought and paid for by a bunch of lobbyists-often the SAME lobbyists on both the Republican and the Democratic sides.

1. I wouldn't
give you two shits in a bucket for it.

I don't know why the Dems are so afraid of a filibuster anyway. Let the GOP be a month long billboard for obstructionism, arrogance, and callous disregard for the people. While they dig in their heels, the Dems can bang away at them for it.

But maybe I'm being naive.
