Mike Johanns: GOP gains could lead to bipartisanship
Posted: Saturday, August 21, 2010 11:35 pm Sen. Mike Johanns .


..Rolling along Interstate 80 on his way to Grand Island on a sunny afternoon, Mike Johanns ponders the consequences of Republican congressional gains this November.

A fresh opportunity for bipartisanship, compromise, cooperation, Nebraska's Republican senator suggests.

"The White House will have checks and balances; there'll be more give and take," he says.

"It really, really changes things."

:gulp:

1. More Give and Take?

More like more taking from the middle class and no giving.

2. "there'll be more give and take"

more than the last time?

3. Uhm...

So if the party of 'W' and No is suddenly going to become born-again bipartisan?

Are they expecting all the Democrats to join the Blue Dog caucus or something after the election?

[gratuitous]

4. The majority can continue to give, and the minority will continue to take

Yeah, that'll be a lot different.

5. ...more like everything will be blocked and nothing will get passed.
