Category — bipartisanship

The flood of articles extolling the virtues of civility and bipartisanship are starting to make me ill.  The last “shamnesty” bill was a bipartisan effort that stopped just short of making the nation of Mexico eligible for welfare.  But hey, some dopey Republicans supported it, so it was “bipartisan”.

But I don’t vote for Republicans so they can get friendly with Ted Kennedy.  I want principled people who know how to fight.  I want stark contrasts and choices.  Make it a choice between a 100% beef hamburger and a veggie burger I say. 

However, homogenized, flavorless politics are all the rage today.  Well, at least the media is in love with the idea.  Of course, the media’s idea of bipartisan is RINOs voting with Democrats. 

And speaking of RINOs, Bill Clinton thinks that John McCain has the bipartisan bug too: 

“She and John McCain are very close,” Clinton said. “They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they’re afraid they’d put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other.”

Those Clintons sure are nice people.  Just ask Barack Obama how “civilized” they are when somebody stands between them and elective office.  Their idea of civilized is hitting someone upside the head with a 2 x 4.  John McCain won’t know what hit him when these 2 smack him during the general election. 

And although I don’t admire the Clintons, I certainly do admire their tenacity, and wish we had some stronger conservatives on our team.  Look at the Democratic choices for just a second and you see 3 committed socialists.  I don’t see one committed conservative on the Republican side.
