New GOP meme I'm getting a whiff of: We are SO bi-partisan!
Anyone else notice that?

It is so convincing too, in an election year in which they're in trouble.

:sarcasm:

4. I thought they always approved of date rape, or denied it is rape or
there is such a thing.

As for the other 2, I'm dubious.

;)

5. Election year moderates
These right wing nuts suddenly move close to the middle on election years, only to take a sharp right turn when and if they're (re)elected. It's nothing but a ruse to deceive the voters.

7. Yes, I've noticed. It needs a good debunking.

One of those statistical studies along the lines of "when dems were in power, they cosponsored X Republican authored bills, over the last 10 years, republicans have cosponsored Y Democratic bills."

That and all the footage from committees where Sensenbrenner and pals bully their way past Democrats.

8. And which they have shut Democrats out of committees...
and refused any participation in writing legislation. Yeah, if they lose in November, they don't want to be treated they way they have treated others...

9. thoughts on Shrub's call for less partisan atmosphere in the SoTU
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2434711

It certainly was nice to hear a Neocon talk about being more civil and working in a non-partisan manner(in SoTU) - after twenty years of Dems being beaten up and maligned by vicious personal attacks and a general malignant atmosphere fostered by Neocons like Gingrich (called the IRS auditors "thugs") and Delay ("the exterminator", who even threatened to campaign against the son of one of their own if he didn't back the Medicare deconstruction bill and threatened judges in Schiavo case) both of whom approached politics as if it was WAR - and the only rule to that war was "TAKE NO PRISONERS" and after the "K Street Project" it's really nice to here a neo-con talk about the need for more amity Washington. THis means that the Dems recently have started to put up a little bit of a defense against the wanton mugging that's been going on.

I say, great. Dems should fight back all the harder. In a knife fight you don't let up or else you get stabbed. Don't let up Dems - take it up a notch (sp?) and fight harder.

And as far as media punks and cheerleaders: we should all email NBC and tell Couric (a TAODIE (Sic) SHow fascist cheerleader for Bush,who grills Democrats like she is cross examining a criminal) as soon as the Republicans act like they are ready to stop the war (such as by letting Dems into Conference committee's and haveing some input to legislation) then the Dems will respond accordingly. Go to: Congress.org Media Guide
Enter NBC into the "Organization Search" input field and send NBC a message about Couric and her little "Simon-says talking dumbie(sic)" Lauer.
