GOP opts out of bipartisanship and calls the Dems partisan?
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 11:54 PM by BirminghamExaminer
I posted an article earlier today on the vote yesterday for the stimulus package proposed by President Obama. As I'm sure you know, not a single Republican voted for the package despite the fact that Obama bowed to the Republican's request for more tax cuts and also cut out programs that would aid family planning.

The people who have commented on the article have somehow rationalized that the Democrats are the ones who are being partisan. I hope that some of you will read the article and respond to these crazy neocons.

I would appreciate any comments on my article which you can find HERE.

Thanks!

2. thanks
I was surprised that most of the comments I got were from Republicans who somehow twisted the scenario to mean that the Democrats are partisan. Huh? How do you argue with people who have learned how to argue from Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove?

4. Just what is K&R?
Sorry to be a dummy here but I have been trying since I joined this forum to figure out what K&R means and I still haven't figured it out.

THanks.
