Bush's action on a partial-birth abortion ban), there is not a nickel's worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican parties. <br /><br />The entire "production" is simply a 'Divide And Conquer' tactic that some "Insiders" have even publicly admitted to, knowing that We The People are too lazy and/or preoccupied with out Bread And Circuses to get up off our couches and fight against. <br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground' Stephen T.

What we need is for a government to do it's job- the best for the most- but even in this compromise it was basically "what can I give and still get the most votes." I don't think any of them really thought about that before they acted.<br /><br />That said, I was just frustrated with the castigation of those who chose to compromise. It is time to drop the arrogance of I'm right and be open to actually working together.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-88548676832719168642013-01-02T12:43:26.284-05:002013-01-02T12:43:26.284-05:00It really is the extremists (on both sides) that a...It really is the extremists (on both sides) that are screwing this country up. I just read a quote by one R rep. that said something to the effect of "You can be right, or you can be dead right, which is it going to be? Let's just get the issue of taxes off the table and move on to spending issues". (quoting loosely of course) And I glad that my taxes won't go up? hell yes. Am I sad that my mother, left in charge (because of her PIA brothers and sisters) of her parents estate is going to get screwed? Um, no.<br /><br />Clearly, this was not win win for everyone, but compromise is rarely like that.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.com
