Good Quote...

Andrew Sullivan quotes Mark Murrary noting that with Bush's $1.35 trillion tax cut in 2001, 28 House and 12 Senate Democrats voted in favor of bipartisanship...and Bush didn't really win the election.

However, so far NO House Republicans have voted for the recovery act, and only 3 Senate Republicans may vote, even though some agree with it.

Sullivan:

Bipartisanship means nothing if it is only ever respected by one party. The GOP is borderline autistic in its understanding of the necessary to-and-fro of democratic government. Or rather: its ideological nature prevents it from engaging in the actual tasks of pragmatic government. Or from seriously thinking of the long-term national interest rather than the short-term partisan one.

Agreed.
