What Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Fred Hiatt mean by "bipartisanship"
Even the GOP, the media establishment and many Democrats themselves are openly mocking the claims by Pelosi and Hoyer that they "negotiated" a "bipartisan compromise."
Glenn Greenwald [2008-06-20]

  • Party pols versus party voters

    And can you blame Republicans? If I were a hard-core Bush follower

    More and more, I think that when referring to Dems, REpubs, etc., one must ditinguish between those parties' politicians and voters who designate themselves members.

    In my view, citizens from all point on the political party spectrum are so fed up with the unconstitutionality and unethical actions of politicians that the voters are entirely uncoupled from the politicians on these issues.

    And as a point of interest, just how many people still call themselves Republicans now, and what is the change from 2000? 2004? Same questions for Democrats?

    If I recall, aren't there now more people who identify as unaffiliated or as Independents than with either party?

    I think voters are fed up and the best way to get at this disaffection is to market fundraising to oust incumbents, regardless of party, who exhibit contempt or ignorance for the constitution and for the citizenry.
