Bipartisanship

LOL . . . it is common knowledge that CNN leans more left like Fox News leans right. I wouldn't base any of my decisions off of anything either one has to say.

And yeah, you can comment on anything I say anywhere you want. Unlike some, I know no boundaries.

Nope, I actually didnt read it. My comment was to something you said in another post.

Darrick_04 . . . but yet 6 of the 10 richest members of Congress are Democrats and the top one being John Kerry while the parties almost split in the top 50.

So, please tell me how out of touch the Republican party is versus the Democratic Party?

And really, CNN is just as biased as Fox News . . . using them as a source is really not convincing on any argument.

Almost feels like Cheney saying he isn't of the Legislative Branch when facing charges... then when something affects him in the Executive Branch, he is part of the Legislative Branch that day...

Carl, you still don't want to give me an example of one elite democrat? How about one you know personally since you know several. I think that would be more appropriate since you claim this state incident is reflective of the national scope. I also asked for a Republican example. It is my belief that they exist equally in both parties, and to make a general accusation that one party is more elite than the other is simply a talking point used to divide an already deeply divided group of voters and citizens (because we, unfortunately, are not all both).

I never said the situation you mentioned - briefly - in your post was not appalling. What I do find appalling is you contributed 60 percent of your rambling on slapping this act on all who call themselves or support Democrats.

And my own bias? Which part in particular did you find the most bias? Maybe it was the fact I pointed out you always fail to mention that wrongdoing happen on both sides of the fence?

I'm sorry but I sincerely believe, you sir, are no more independent or bipartisan then the Republicans that run for office today themselves claim.

The world is smaller, people have more information at the touch of their fingertips now than they can get from reading everything in your town's public library. No one, except, people looking for an excuse to hate the opposition believe these tired accusations of acts committed by one should be reflective of the majority.

No longer are we in the days where you can call yourself one thing to mask your intentions or attempt to attach the morals and values of many to a story of injustice committed by a few.

I do apologize at the word, 'copy' in context to an AP story. The point I was trying to make was that you took a news, or news worthy, story and were using to further your own propaganda. I obviously erred in that regards. You are a fine, even eloquent writer, albeit a misguided one.

It is amusing to see Republican's whining when things happen to them in politics that they also engage in themselves. It reminds me of those chain emails that say, 'Confirmed by Snoops', but when you go look at the website, they in fact were not.

This is the same kind of story.

Carl, you know as well as I do this is one of several types of incidents, like this, that occur in both parties. Forcing party members to vote along party lines and punishing those who don't are common place in state and national government.

They even have positions of power that enforce these practices called 'Whips' in both parties.

Both parties go to extreme unethical measures to extend and gain power. You want Republican examples. Remember the rezoning of the Texas congressional districts, Dick Cheney's, the Republican's last 'Star' VP, complete disregard for anything 'Bipartisan', and voter disenfranchising that takes place every election in heavily populated Democrat areas.

I don't bring this up to try and paint the Republicans as anymore unethical as the Democrats, but only to show your readers, since you won't, that both parties are guilty of un-American practices and are only called out on them when it suits the situation - such as a major election playing out in the background.

And Elitist? Carl, I challenge you to define this word and show me examples of them ON both sides. Then weigh out your theory to see if it holds water. I promise you it will not. There are no more, nor less, so-called, 'Elitist' on either side of the political spectrum.

To repeat buzz words, because you didn't come up this yourself, that one party is more elite than the other shows a complete disregard to audience by assuming that you simply perceive your readers are completely ignorant.

Turn off FoxNews, MSNBC, and CNN and write a blog about what you really perceive as injustices or your beliefs instead of simply copying a story off the AP wire and using it to spread your own non Bipartisan agenda.

Granted, the situation in Montgomery county is unfair and strikes us all as non-democratic, but to use an incident like this, that happens on both sides, to spread a biased opinion is the exact opposite of what the title of this blog entry suggest.

great blog, carl. what happened to kurita is absolutely outragious. so what if she won by 19 votes. she won period. many others have won by less over the years. and so what if she voted for ramsey for speaker. it's her right and everyone knows deep down it was no doubt the right thing to do. wilder barely could walk, talk or carry a conversation. it was a "must time" for a change. the state democratic party will suffer bigtime for this. whatever happened to counting all the votes? i just hope kurita fights this and/or wins her write-in campaign, which i'm thinking is very possible in november.
