News for People who Like to Scream

No.

And now, the news of the spirit of bipartisanship that has gripped the Republican party of late:

Republican Congressman Eric Cantor: " unless the President and Speaker Pelosi are willing to scrap their government take over and hit the reset button, there’s not much to talk about."

Boy, that's a great idea, huh? I wonder if anyone has suggested this to the Indianapolis Colts.

And now, from those ever-reasonable female Senators from Maine:

"For reasons that are still unclear, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has decided to take a leadership role in going after the Obama administration's handling of the attempted Abdulmutallab attack. So far, this hasn't gone especially well.

Collins said officials only interrogated Abdulmutallab for 50 minutes. That was wrong. She said Abdulmutallab "stopped talking" after having been told of his rights. That was wrong. Collins suggested Abdulmutallab only began cooperating "in the context of plea negotiations." That was wrong. She said there "was no consultation with intelligence officials" about the questioning. And that was wrong .

More recently, Collins has emphasized her outrage over the Obama administration's decision to make Abdulmutallab aware of his rights (the same step taken by the Bush/Cheney administration in a nearly identical terrorist plot in 2001). Except, she, too, was briefed on the arrest by a top Homeland Security official, and raised no concerns about the legal process."

This afternoon, a Collins spokesperson, without a hint of irony, accused the Obama administration of trying to cover its "mistake."

We're going to get so far dealing with her, yes sir. Or should I say, "you betcha?"

And our wonderful Republican leaders aren't going to be left out, either:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has settled in on his election-year strategy: Identify issues that unite his caucus but divide the other party, then use them to drive a wedge between the White House and congressional Democrats.

At the top of his list: the administration’s handling of terrorism cases.

Replicating his pattern of relentless, blistering speeches against President Barack Obama’s health care proposal and his plan to shutter the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, McConnell has begun attacking Obama’s plan to try terrorism suspects in civilian courts ..."

And while we're at it, let's not forget the Maverick:

"Mr. McCain now finds himself jammed, moving starkly — and often awkwardly — to the right, apparently in an effort to gain favor among the same voters whom Mr. Hayworth, a consistent voice for the far right, could pull toward him like taffy come summer.

Mr. McCain now sharply criticizes the bailout bill he voted for, pivoted from his earlier position that the Guantánamo Bay detention facility should be closed, offered only a muted response to the Supreme Court’s decision undoing campaign finance laws and backed down from statements that gays in the military would be O.K. by him if the military brass were on board.

Because we know we can count on McCain to do the honorable thing, and stand up for what he really believes, right? I mean, he's different than the other Republicans. That's what they keep telling us.

And in case you have forgotten about the Republicans' biggest collaborators, the mainstream press, how about this article from the New York Times:

“U.N. Climate Panel and Chief Face Credibility Siege"

Of course, the story quotes absolutely no one but a tired collection of long time climate deniers- not one real scientist or mainstream figure, and then, way down in the article finally admits this:

"The panel, in reviewing complaints about possible errors in its report, has so far found that one was justified and another was “baseless.” The general consensus among mainstream scientists is that the errors are in any case minor and do not undermine the report’s conclusions."

But there is still a "credibility siege."

The American people just can't catch a break. There is no such thing as bipartisanship with the Republican party, every one of whom is a corrupt traitor to this country. There is no such thing as an honest Republican.
