Bipartisanship is another name for date rape

–Grover Norquist quoted in the Denver Post 2003.

This was right after the Republicans took control of Senate in 2002. It seems back then that the Republicans had no desire for bipartisanship. Something else Norquist said in the same interview:

We are trying to change the tones in the state capitals — and turn them toward bitter nastiness and partisanship

Of course this all happened back when they were talking of being the “permanent majority”. So how’s it feel now? All the crying and bitching about there being no bi-partisanship – well that is exactly what you wanted. The Republican Party busted their ass for this kind of politics, and now that the shoe is on the other foot they are crying foul.

I think it’s time we remind people of what the Republicans worked so hard for just 6 short years ago. They dug their own grave and now they can lay in it.
