Bipartisanship

   Can we all please agree being bipartisan  really means if your side wins?  I am so sick and tired of the word bipartisan.  One things for sure; during the health care debacle it was partisan and NOT bipartisan. 

   Now with the Republicans coming into power in the House, all we hear is we need to be bipartisan.  Makes me wanna vomit in a way, but knowing the Republicans the way I do, they will probably capitulate.  They wanna be loved so badly.

   You can take this back to the lowest level you can think of.  When you were a child and went next door to see if Johnny wanted to play – somebody would say, let’s play kickball, and the other might say, lets play baseball.   Now, if you were bipartisan, you’d play each game for half the time, but you know it didn’t work out that way.  One or the other won out, e.g. they WON the debate!!!

   Same thing in politics.  One side wins, the other loses.  There is nothing wrong with being partisan (if you have the right ideas).  And, “IF” you are NOT  partisan, you should not be affiliated with any political party. 

   Now, git up to the blackboard and write one hundred times.

I AM PARTISAN AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING SO!
