McCain says neither party is being bipartisan
Politico ^ | 2009-03-29

Posted on 03/29/2009 10:24:36 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

Asked if Democrats and Republicans have made good on their campaign promises for more bi-partisanship in Washington, McCain said, "neither side perhaps has done it as much as maybe we should."

He then went on to mostly blame the Democrats for not reaching out to work with Republicans on major legislation including the stimulus package, omnibus spending bill and now the budget.

If McCain is complaining, that means the Republicans are doing something right.

This "useful idiot" does not understand
that "bipartisanship" means agreeing with the Marxists.

Why should we care about bipartisan? “Bipartisan” means that both parties gang up to screw us. More interested in liberty, prosperity and simple stuff like that.
When McCain says bipartisan he means “hey, let me help”. It’s not about you, John.

"neither party is being bipartisan"

Nor should they be. The US government isn't a Parliamentary system with coalitions formed to run the country.

We have elections to decide who gets to run things. The losing party's job is to fight against the winning party and to convince the voters that the winning party is doing a bad job. The winning party's job is to run things and to convince the voters that it is doing a good job.

Elections have consequences. Unfortunately, massive vote fraud also has consequences.

I with John McCain would just retire quietly.

Whaddya mean John? RINOs are abandoning whatever conservative principles they had, “reaching across the aisle”, and “working with Democrats and Obama” - isn’t that your definition of bi-partisanship?

What McCain is simply not capable of understanding is that “bipartisan” means kowtowing to the socialists.

These people that want to “reach across the aisle” need to be hurled across the aisle, and then they need to stay there.

The winning party's job is to run things into the ground and to convince the voters that it is doing a good job.

McCain is an irrational dupe who is either too dumb to know what he is doing or as corrupt as the kennedy-clinton cabal he embraces. Please, McCain, do not spread your ignorant opinions.
