The main stream media has a consistent dream.\u00a0 It is the dream of Republicans and Democrats working together harmoniously and putting partisan politics aside for the good of the country. \u00a0Of course this dream only surfaces when Republicans are in power.\u00a0 When Democrats are in power, there are no calls for bi-partisanship, unless that is defined as Republicans sacrificing their values on the altar of Political Correction.\u00a0 But, there is no virtue in flirting\u00a0with disaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the American people stupidly gave Democrats a huge majority in the House and a veto proof and filibuster majority in the Senate, the result was the most hyper-partisan congress in history.\u00a0 Democrats showed zero interest in Republican input. \u00a0Major legislation was passed without a single Republican vote, even from the traditional core of liberal RINOs.\u00a0 This legislation was so unbalanced that Democrats had difficulty getting it passed even though no Republican votes were necessary.\u00a0 Obama care literally required flagrant bribes like the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback to gain sufficient support in the Democratic Party.\u00a0 There was never support for this legislation from a majority of the voting public.\u00a0 Very few people in the main stream media noticed.<\/p>\n

Now, Republicans have gained control of the House and have regained functional control of the Senate.\u00a0 The main stream media is suddenly, once again, cooing about the need for both parties to work together for the greater good.\u00a0 However, this is actually a good time to recall the words of Barry Goldwater:<\/p>\n
