Good news from my newspaper...
- The Senate is suddenly showing Signs of Bipartisanship.
- The No Child Left Behind Education Law was overhauled in an unanimous vote.
- An Anti-Sex-Trafficking Bill was approved 99-0.
Bad news from my newspaper...
The recent spurt of comity could well be short-lived. The Senate, frozen last year by partisan jockeying ahead of the midterm elections, may have only a few months before presidential politics intervenes but for now lawmakers from both parties are bending and compromising on legislation.
"Such cooperation does carry some political risk for Democrats, who are helping to build a legislative track record for the GOP".
This is the kind of thinking that the Fella will never understand. It ought not be of any import that one side or the other gets credit for what is done, if what is done, is good for our country...
If it's the right thing to do, do the right thing.
Next time the Democrats are in control the Republicans should continue the process...
If it's the right thing to do, do the right thing.
Would I kid u?

I am not concerned about cooperation because every time we join in support what I want gets deleted and the demos win. Graham, McCain and our senate majority leader have a different agenda then most of us.
Well thank you, Fella, for enlightening me about Legislative vs. Election years! I must have assumed I understood. Makes me wonder how many, many things I may never grasp on account of political speak and doublespeak.
