My point was that BOTH sides pay lip service to bi-partisanship, neither really care about it unless they need a few cross overs to get something done. It wasn't to revisit the SS issue, I merely used it as an example. Bush wouldn't have tried to do the bi-partisan thing if the Repubs had the numbers at that time either. The Dems cannot get their own people in agreement so it is more newsworthy to blame the minority party. Get your own people in line and there shouldn't be any problems.

Put together a solid product and get it passed. Then we will see if your party can really do something productive for America. If you can great, personally I hope they do, if not there is a lot of bucks in lobbying.
