Come on, Doug. It’s not that they wanted the increase in government. The increase in government is the only way it can be done.

Bi-partisan is code for log-rolling for shit awful ideas.

If most votes are quite indifferent all the awful ideas in the country can be implemented with bi-partisan support.

Typical, typical: screw em, we’re up here on The Hill, they’re on the ground below, eating cake.

Also, this is all sounding like to me a prelude to the eventual period of so called “bi-partisanship”, which of course the media will praise and magnify upon, that is actually a front for the two parties to continually work together almost as one giant corporatist, statist party. I wouldn’t be surprised if martial law were declared, they all decide to have a grand old time joining together on some united front to help protect America’s “interests”.

It’s all so sickening; I don’t think being so cynical helps things either.

The ‘Stupid Party’ wants to do good things, but keep coming up with stupid laws that do alot of damage. The ‘Evil Party’ pushes for laws that help them and their supporters at the expense of everyone else. Occasionally the two parties collaborate on passing laws that are both stupid and evil. This is called ‘bipartisanship’”
