the Wizard of Oz couldn’t fool Dorthy, and we ain’t Dorthy

and the repuglitards ain’t exactly “wizards” either

So I think that there is more than a little “historical revisionism” here.

And Bush also made the claim throughout his campaigns that he would be bipartisan. At least he suggested that he was going to use half the Clinton $4 trillion surplus to “fund SSI” while giving only 25% back in tax cuts (the rest to be spent away on “special programs” rather than to reduce the deficit). Don’t believe me? Go read the Bush-Gore 2000 debates…along with all the bulldada about not using the military for “nation building”.

Even in the second campaign…but immediately changed that when he won by a sliver and claimed that “I have a mandate” to eviscerate SSI, Medicare, to cut taxes even further, and to reduce social spending.

“The polarization problem seems to be on one-side of the aisle, and it isn’t the Party that starts with a “D”. Plus, Obama is far more popular with Independents, than say…any Republican. And even better Mikey, let’s look at those popularity ratings among the only growing voting bloc, the young. Obama’s favorability with voters ages 18-29, 81 percent; Democrats, 59 percent; Republicans, 9 percent — Nine!”

One expects partisan support for a President within his own party. If it declines to…say about 60% as it did with Bush…that’s a big issue. But the Independents seem to be as “mindless” in their support as the Democrats. And you fail to see that registration numbers are WAY down for the GOP everywhere but the Appalachian states. So low support amongst a decreasing number of Republicans actually means that “former Republicans” are probably leaning in support of the President.

So anti-discrimination laws were not needed, I take it? And women deserved less pay for the same work?

I think she’s projecting, because she actually gets paid for the crap she peddles, and knows it’s crap.

And isn’t there something wrong in any case about blaming the Republicans only for the current partisan divide inspired by Obama? If 88% of Democrats now approve of Obama, why is that not at least as mindlessly partisan as the 73% of Republicans who don’t approve of Obama? Isn’t it all the more so since so much of what Obama has done is NOT progressive, suggesting that it is only the worst kind of unthinking partisanship that would inspire so much loyalty?

Really, the accusation that it is only the Republicans who are being partisan here exactly mimics the bizarre claim during Bush’s tenure. He and his people would more or less assert that he was being bipartisan, of course, but those damn Democrats wouldn’t get on board with his policies, so they were to blame for all the vile partisanship.

Really, for once in your life, try to put the shoe on the other foot. Try to see the beam in your own eye.
