I think I have now heard everything when Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-D) stated without blinking or winking that if the Democrats sweep the elections and end up with a large majority in both the Senate and House, the Congress will become more bipartisanship.
Unbelievable that she thinks the voters of the USA are that clueless. They know that giving all three branches of the US Government to 1 political party will not do anything to increase bipartisanship; they just want change and don't care what it will mean for their future. By putting BHO and his SMDC into office next Tuesday, they are going to find out.
Trust me, the Democrats are the most non-bipartisan seen in recent years. Go back to when the Democrats had a VP-enforced majority in the US Senate under Bill Clinton. Did they share power with the Republicans? Not on your life, they used the 51st Senator (VP Al Gore's vote) to enforce complete control of the Senate business and agenda while the very naïve Senator Bob Dole tried to be bipartisan when the Republicans had a true majority of 51-49 just the year before Senator Jeffords switched parties in 2001.
When the SMDC is elected next week, you will not have to wait until Jan. 20, 2009 to see how partisan the new Congress is going to be. My prediction is that you will see the Republicans shut out of everything from daily business and agendas. They will most likely get as much work done from home as they will showing up to the Congress every day. They will be ignored, laughed at, and ridiculed; they deserve this treatment in spades.
