The GOP and its mouthpieces constantly intone that they want to get this or that issue ‘off the table.’
It all sounds very neat and tidy but isn’t it simply another name for avoiding honest and open debate? Isn’t it capitulation, surrender and/or collaboration?
If both parties stand for the same things then why, specifically, should we support one over the other? It’s easy to say D and R are alike but why is R attempting to prove it by eliminating any distinction under the rubric of bipartisanship?
At the risk of repeating myself, I restate my “Harlem Globetrotter” theory”
In a 2-party system, the job security of the second, losing, #2 team, is exactly the same as that of the winning team. The GOP thinks it’s so damn smart, anticipating a demographic (and thus voting bloc) tipping point that will forever doom the GOP as a winning bet. That the result will be a systemic deterioration of the country, its opportunity, and everything else you and I believe it stands for, these weasels just want to get theirs before the last scrap of meat is picked off the corpse.
