It's like this BOTH sides suck ass, BOTH sides aren't civil to each other. Until this changes bipartisanship will always fail. We can't work together if we can't even be civilized. It's really a sad commentary, but there are no angels.Malcot Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888577370141938667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-22123310552094701652008-05-12T15:03:00.000-07:002008-05-12T15:03:00.000-07:00JSF, I'm not saying being civil is unrealistic. In...JSF, I'm not saying being civil is unrealistic. Individuals can show civility to each other as we very well illustrate. But to EXPECT civility back is a whole other ball of wax. It would sure be nice if everyone were civil to each other, but that doesn't seem to be how things work out. And what's the hangup on this 10 year old kid? He can't even vote!<BR/><BR/>Do you think that people on your side are the only ones who have been attacked continuously for the past 7 years and beyond? I've been called a terrorist, a communist, lazy, unamerican, immoral, gay and every other name in the book because of my beliefs. Sure it sucks, but if we allow the lowest elements of the other side radicalize us, we give them too much power. If we want to have a civil discourse, we need to ignore the shrill name callers and move past them.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601863377056165200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-72033124447148228832008-05-12T09:25:00.000-07:002008-05-12T09:25:00.000-07:00Jason,They might be one sided, but they work in go...Jason,<BR/><BR/>They might be one sided, but they work in good favor whoever uses them. <BR/><BR/>How does being civil to the other side seem unrealistic? And how has attacking, calling for Conservatives and Republicans to be censored or imprisoned (or look at what that 10 year old kid said) help Bi-partisanship?<BR/><BR/>After being attacked continuously for 7 years for expressing a different opinion, yeah we do get angry.<BR/><BR/>I offered some advice. If the Three Nazguls act on the advice (remember, Democrats can only influence other Democrats, Republicans to Republicans), the roots of Bi-partisanship might grow. <BR/><BR/>What about the two choices at the bottom?JSFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112671583392607007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008092.post-14236038340323132832008-05-12T06:39:00.000-07:002008-05-12T06:39:00.000-07:00JSF, you're being silly with your one sided point ...JSF, you're being silly with your one sided point making and unrealistic expectations. My attempt at bipartsianship failed miserably. Why? Because some of the conservative bozos couldn't get past their ideology to even try to listen or compromise. My conclusion is that we're doomed. We've become so polarized as a nation that like the Israelis and Palestinians, there is no hope for a solution and we might as well just kill each other all off and get it over with.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601863377056165200noreply@blogger.com
