The liberals are as passionate in their misguided socialist beliefs as I am in my conservative beliefs. I can guarantee that none of them want this Utopian concept of "bi-partisanship" any more than my conservative friends do on our side. We believe in what we believe in on principle. We elect "representatives" to represent our set of beliefs, not to crumble and compromise. Frankly, the concept of bi-partisanship would constitute a one-party tyranny, with no opposition. Our founding fathers specifically set up "seperate but equal" branches of government in order that they would oppose each other and create "checks and balances," not rubber stamp bad ideas. So, our system of government is based on opposition based on principles. We have two major parties because we have two opposing ideological belief systems. Republicans need to remember that the New York Times doesn't vote them in or out of office, so attempting to curry favors from the Times won't help their careers. Most of us who vote them in or out of office already despise (or at the very least, don't trust) the mainstream media. Better to have Republican voters on your side than the mainstream media. Who, besides the mainstream media and media-whore RINO’s like John McCain, has EVER felt that bi-partisanship is somehow a good thing?

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:54:06 +0000 http://www.brightandearlyblog.com/?p=4449#comment-68443 Bipartisanship is a pipe dream. When the two parties are diametrically opposed on the most basic issue, the role of government, there is no reason the Republicans should stand down. I admire the likes of John Boehner in his attempt to enlighten the House to the largest fleecing this country has ever seen. I admonish the mainstream media and the average American for being more concerned about who made the top twenty-four on American Idol. Conservative politicians need to put themselves "out there" by criticizing government meddling and talking tough about breaking away from the nanny state. Bipartisanship is a pipe dream.
