Bipartisan Option???
Dec 23rd, 2008 | By admin | Category: BlogThe recent Houston Chronicle editorial, “Bipartisan option, let’s bypass politics in replacing Bettencourt” was a rehash of the editorial board’s endorsement of Diane Trautman; an endorsement the people rejected in November when they re-elected Republican Paul Bettencourt.
It seems awfully funny that every time that there’s a chance for another Democrat to get into office they commence with their bi-partisan talk. Oh, lets not let politics get in the way of putting the right person in office. But if there’s a chance for a Republican to occupy an office, the Democrats scream to high-heaven.
The ONLY time the Democrats want bi-partisanship is when they want one of their ilk in office. Their idea of bi-partisan is , o.k., this is what we want and it doesn’t make any difference if there are other opinions, ours are the only ones that count.
THERE ISN’T ANY SUCH ANIMAL AS A BI-PARTISAN DEMOCRAT.
I agree with the comments that James left. Democrats are not bi-partisan people. Look at how Sheila J. Lee has shown her “bi-partisan” actions recently. When Chuck Rosenthal resigned, she was so happy to have Kenneth Magidson in the office. Of course, that was until Magidson closed his investigation of Rosenthal and closed it with the recommendation of ending it with no formal charges. That set Lee on fire. I know it really boils her that Pat Lykos got the position instead of Bradford. I am happy with Lykos. This was just an example of the “bi-partison” politics of the Dems.
