bipartisanship

Apparently there is some "possibility that there could be a narrow bipartisan path for the legislation to move ahead in the Senate and make its way to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/20/us/politics/same-sex-marriage-bill-senate.html...

Is one that I voted against last year, but am now open to voting for in 2024: Kyrsten Sinema: And she drops a nuclear bomb on the Democrats pushing to get rid of the filibuster: Looks like we have another maverick senator from Arizona. :D

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101111/ap_on_go_co/us_ap_poll_gop_agenda and it appears they do NOT have a mandate to just stand in the way of everything Obama and the Democrats want to do. the American people want more compromise, diplomacy, and working together. NOT gridlock and stagnation...

I was just reading the editorial by Paul Krugman (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/24/opinion/24krugman.html) and it reinforces my opinion that both parties are too interested in maintaining control to seriously address any problem. Krugman writes: In the last 10 years, both parties had a large...

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127117966 Obama is beating up on them a little to harshly, I guess. The fact is that as the days pass, they are finding themselves in doubt of what they thought were their chances of taking over the congress. It may happen, but this guy...

Haven't seen much of that in a while! :) Financial overhaul bill gets bipartisan push in Senate So like, if this had been in effect last time, we could just send the bill for the bailout to Goldman Sachs and the others. After all, we covered their bets with AIG. And if creditors know that...

The selection of a Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice John Paul Stevens should in no way involve the anticipated response of the Republicans in Congress. In keeping with their usual stance on any position the President takes on any issue, their response here will prove to be predetermined...

It seems like Obama has been sending flowers to republicans and calling them every day. Inviting them over to watch the Super Bowl and eat oatmeal cookies. Appointing republicans to cabinet positions. Doing a joint news conference with a republican governor to explain why we need the stimulus...

The subtle bipartisanship of Rush Limbaugh Does anyone remember if Rush was into "bipartisan compromise" when the republicans were in power? ETA: What percentage of the vote was for Rush Limbaugh again?

Pelosi Erases Gingrich's Long-Standing Fairness Rules Nancy working hard to keep the popularity of Congress near zero. I wonder if the spineless republicans will roll over and play dead.

Now that's funny, isn't it?

John McCain made some outrageous claims on CNN about peaceful Baghdad today, and got promptly debunked. McCain (to Wolf Blitzer): CNN reporter Michael Ware, who's been in Baghdad for 4 years, came back to Wolf with this: Watch the video to get the McCain in Neverland in quote...

I thought this was settled months ago. McCain even joked about it on several Sunday morning news shows. It's nice to see a politician who follows his principles even when offered a politically expedient option. McCain rejects VP overtures So who gets to be the door prize on the Kerry Ticket...

I just heard on NPR that John McCain said that if offered the VP spot by Kerry he'd have to consider it seriously. There's a ticket for ya. The guy I wish I'd had the chance to vote for in 2000 and the guy I'm going to vote for this year. I think it would be great if a Democrat or Republican...
