When the game is more important than the cause

Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski told lawmakers Monday he wants to initiate bipartisan partnerships that address education health care, green energy and job creation.

Doing so would help spur the state’s economic recovery, Kulongoski said during his State of the State address.

If by "spur" he means, "kick it in the sides with sharp things until it dies".

To the Left, bi-partisanship means: capitulate and being to take the fall when it goes under.

What does that remind me of...? Oh, yes:

1. Pelosi-Obama-Reid champion the first stimulus package
2. The plebes (that's you and me) revolt
3. Dems get shaky
4. POR risk losing their big gov't grab, so they:
1. convince Repubs to go along with it, and;
2. tell shaky Dems, "no sweat, vote against, we've got enough Repubs"
5. they're wrong, the vote fails
6. POR blame the lack of bi-partisanship and Republican support

Amongst my favorite politicians are Kuchinich and Boehner. You know why? At least they stand up for what they believe in.

It's time to start showing up at small meetings and rallies and insistently demanding answers to uncomfortable questions.
