Banal Bipartisanship Beckons

After the election, both parties had their kumbaya moment issuing calls to work together, reach across the aisle, and get things done for America. The working definition of bipartisanship has been Republicans being co opted by Democrats, adopting their ideas and policy positions, while giving up their own principles. This is a one way street. Democrats whose platform if adopted will do great harm to this country, have neither the desire nor intention to adopt any Republican proposals. My own re-elected Senator Alexander has pledged to work with Obama to fight global warming which is a working non sequitur as there is no man-made global climate change, and these efforts will only impair our freedom, lifestyle, and inhibit our economic recovery. Just look how successful Republican outreach has been: McCain's bipartisan campaign finance reform has demonstrably helped the GOP(ha), the Bush-Kennedy education effort has turned out little geniuses(ha, ha), and the Democrats and media have certainly shown gratitude for Republican flexibility and compromise(ha, ha, ha). The parties working together to get things done for us and we're done for.
