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.

McCain is the best friend Obama and the DNC has and they will do their damnedest to help get him re-elected.

There is currently one party, not two. The idea that there is currently a choice is an illusion crafted by the superparty.

Before I even read your post I was thinking, “Senator, just PLEASE SHUT UP!”

Attention Arizonans: If McCain faces a primary challenge, vote for the challenger. If McCain wins, vote for the Democrat. It’s time to put the old fool out to pasture.

McCain is an utter fool. A total waste of oxygen and carbon.

I would ask McCain how you could come up with a bipartisan solution when one party is socialist and the other is capitalist, one is in favor of abortion, and the other is against, one is opposed to terrorism, and the other doesn’t care, one wants a two trillion dollar a year deficit, and the other thinks Bush’s $.5 trillion dollar deficits were too much, one wants higher taxes and one wants lower taxes.

from the Declaration of Independence:”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” The sobering truth is that, due to the cultivated docility of the American populace, Jefferson’s document, much like the Constitution created eleven years later, poses no threat to the designs of socialists today.

McCain't is acting like a new recruit at an Amway party...not really into selling "soap" but will do anything to be one of the gang.

The press is replacing the old game called "Simon Says" to one called "McCain Says"...but only when it is a positive for their leg tingler commiebama.

"I'm the last bipartisan left! Here I was, standing in the middle of the aisle, reaching out with both hands, and what happened? Everyone's avoiding me!"

McCain is the only true bi in Congress.
He can ‘perform’ with either party.

Yes! Thank you, Mike Huckabee and John McCain! As I remember, Huckabee’s staff acknowledged what they did in the VA primary to throw the momentum to McCain. I think he was hoping for a VP slot. When he didn’t get it, and conservatives began complaining about what he had done, he denied everything.

Maybe he means “bi-partisan”, you know, like “bi-curious”?

The GOP better not become bipartisan - they would be redundant, and this is not a time for bipartisanship!
