partisan politics

Partisan politics is ruining this country. The video footage I saw of Democratic Headquarters showed excitement, smiles and enthusiasm. The Democrats are back in power. Top Democrats are saying, "We are ready to govern." They are saying they want to work together with the Republicans.

The only thing is, I'm sure Republicans will remember all the filibusters, delays and political maneuvering of the Democrats to oppose or at least slow down almost every Republican idea that was proposed for years. Why weren't the Democrats "ready to govern" for the last several years? Why weren't they willing to work together? Now we'll go into several years where the Republicans will play the role of spoiler.

Partisan politics is killing us. Washington does not think of what is best for the nation. They only think of what is good for their party, getting power, keeping power and whatever is good for their party.

I've been watching Obama. He's shown who he is in this election. Everything coming out of his mouth is partisan politics just like all the rest of them.

Joe Lieberman stands tall. Betrayed by his party because he stood on principle. He refused to play partisan politics. His own party tried to beat him every way possible. He decided to run as an Independent and he won. Good for you Joe Lieberman, may your tribe increase.
