The traitor's last desperate defense against the purge of them and their treason is to call the whole thing "partisan".

It fools the hell out of the cow-eyed populists and give them the illusion of survival...

I agree with that. I would like to debate ideas and switch parties back and forth to capture the best ideas, but that is no longer possible because, as I said over here Message 22760345

That's not how Newt did the Contract for America when the Republicans wanted to show their vision for America.

Democratic Party. They are all about winning back control of the House not because they have a vision of how they want to govern the country, but because they want to be in power.


In other words, I find it necessary to stand up for my own views because nobody else is going to. They are going for power, and they don't care how they get it. So I go with the folks who share the most of my views and find that the other side is getting more loony by the day.
