| Republican 'Bipartisanship" Is Like Lucy Pulling Away The Football From Charlie Brown... |
|
... it is not ever going to happen.
Obama and Hill Democrats need to face reality, no matter how hard they try to work with Republicans to create a bill with bipartisan support it is not going to happen. The Party of 'NO' is not going to let it happen. If it ever gets close, they will pull it away like Lucy pulls away the football before Charlie Brown can kick it. Then they will blame Democrats for trying and failing.
Time for Democrats to pass the needed medical healthcare reform bill with a majority of Democrats and quit chasing Repub Members who will never come around.
Step up to the mike, say we tried and failed to create a bill with bipartisan support, and now it is time to act -- and Democrats will act with or without Republican support.

| 1. Yes. That's why they're passing stuff on party-line vote, reconciliation, and the like. |

| 2. Except that the GOP doesn't even have a football to pull away. |
|
Although that doesn't keep many Dem Congresscritters from trying to kick it. ;-)
