At this stage of the coup, I don't support ANYBODY "making nice"

come the presidential election in 2008, anyone, and i mean ANYONE, who has consistently "made nice" with these criminals, should not be regarded as a legitimate candidate...

Don't Make Nice

By Paul Krugman
The New York Times

"Now that the Democrats are strongly favored to capture at least one house of Congress, they’re getting a lot of unsolicited advice, with many people urging them to walk and talk softly if they win.

I hope the Democrats don’t follow this advice — because it’s bad for their party and, more important, bad for the country. In the long run, it’s even bad for the cause of bipartisanship.

There are those who say that a confrontational stance will backfire politically on the Democrats. These are by and large the same people who told Democrats that attacking the Bush administration over Iraq would backfire in the midterm elections. Enough said.

why shouldn't we work for a return to a more civilized national political discourse...? think about it...

The reason we have so much bitter partisanship these days is that that’s the way the radicals who have taken over the Republican Party want it. People like Grover Norquist, who once declared that “bipartisanship is another name for date rape,” push for a hard-right economic agenda; people like Karl Rove make that agenda politically feasible, even though it’s against the interests of most voters, by fostering polarization, using religion and national security as wedge issues.

As long as polarization is integral to the G.O.P.’s strategy, Democrats can’t do much, if anything, to narrow the partisan divide.

that's exactly right, and anyone who takes the softer tack with this gang, goes immediately on to my shit list...

(thanks to the unknown candidate...)
