President Obama's call for bipartisanship and cooperation between the parties, is pure political mumbo jumbo. Malarkey.
Why should the Republicans cooperate with Obama and help him accomplish some of his agenda, when they want to beat him in two years. They lose, the way they perceive it, when he gains. For public consumption, the Republicans will say, "Sure, we'll work with you in the interest of the country"...but they don't mean it, and they are wrong. Compromised, half-baked, measures on important issues help no one and are not in the country's interest. Ideas are right or wrong, which makes them good or bas, and in our interest or not. Compromises, meeting the other party halfway...locking the front door but leaving the back door open... serves no one, except the thief.
Suggestion for the day: Let us stop the political party system. Candidates should be elected on individual merit...and receive the most votes because the electorate is familiar with their political positions and accomplishments,and not because they are members of a certain party.
The general voter attitude, "I always vote Democratic (or Republican or whatever)"
is archaic and illogical. Not all members of a party hold the same political philosophy, and some members of every party are incompetent and should not be put into office. That prevalent attitude encourages party loyalty, party control, the election of unknowns (look at President Obama's election) and worse, and votes by Congressmen and women for reasons (eg,campaign funding)contrary to the interests of constituents.
Back to basics: We are individuals, we ought run and serve as individuals, and be judged as individuals.
