Good luck with that.

I recall all too well the results of Carter and his advisors during the dark days between January 20, 1977 and January 20, 1981.

Thanks but no thanks.

The only thing worse than partisanship is bipartisanship. You want them fighting each other so that they keep looking out for your interests, even if only one party is concerned about your interests at any given time. At least you have a chance. When they are agreeing then NO ONE is caring about you. It becomes all about power and control and incoherence. Yes you move "forward" of sorts. But the baby is dead.

Partisanship is what representative government looks like. Imagine a court without a prosecutor and a defense. They just negotiate together and come up with some middle ground. Now imagine that YOU are the one on trial. That's what you get. It may appear peaceful on the surface, but the truth and justice are the biggest losers next to you.

Anything that has even a peripheral relationship to Jimmy Peanut is evil. No thanks.

We all know what Ayn Rand said about the middle.

This is just a ruse folks. Nothing more than a pathetic John Anderson attempt to split the vote for the Dims. Conservatism is a winner, and the GOP candidate should stick to a strong conservative-libertarian message.

Usually when some group complains about partisanship the goal is to browbeat Republicans to rubberstamp whatever the Democrats want.

Good. With any luck the Deaniacs will spin off from the Rat party. BTW, is Ralph Nader running?

[GitmoSailor]

Just what Hillary is looking for to be elected!!!!....A THRID PARTY VOTE!!!!!.............

[Phlap]

A bipartisan ticket? No!! I could see a nonpartisan ticket but I won't.

[wodinoneeye]

Pretty dim. And WHO do they propose the President to be (could they possibly think ....... SATAN !!!!!!) ???

A Dem no doubt (the VP is usually relatively powerless and so they obviously wouldnt want the Dem to have that position....).

Dual Presidents ???? Sorry you could spend several terms just debating the Constitutional problems with that.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yes exactly.

[since 1854]

In 1864, the Republican Party nominated a bipartisan ticket, with a Democrat for the vice presidency, and thanks to John Wilkes Booth the country got its worst President ever, Andrew Johnson.

I'd slide down a 50 foot razor blade and fall into a cool pool of alcohol before I would EVER vote for a damn dim!

Paid for by Hillary Clinton I bet.

Here is a bipartisan ticket. Fred Thompson and Rudy Guiliani.

[goldstategop]

Let me see: I want to vote for a GOP liberal AKA RINO and a Democrat liberal bipartisan ticket? Thanks but no thanks.

[spikeytx86]

Did Johnson leave over a hundred Americans hostage to third world douche bags for over a year? Were interest rates at 22% or inflation at 13%?

[since 1854]

Worse. He blocked for two years after Appomattox the Republican Party's agenda for the post-Civil War South.
