"Partisan Politics"
What's up with that phrase? Um...HELLO!!!...is there some other kind of politics I'm not aware of?! "Nonpartisan politics"? What would that be like? Why does one side always accuse the other of politicizing this....politicizing that? All the world's a political stage.

"All the world's a political stage." Yessiree bob, Wordsmith! And too much of it is also a "Ship of Fools"!
I feel the same frustration you felt when you wrote this tiny post. It's because I feel the same way myself.
"Warm fuzzies to you too, my friend!"
We just gotta keep on keeping on.
I guess "partisan politics" is kinda like "bunny rabbit" or "pussy cat" or "puppy dog" only nowhere near as cute and certainly not cuddly.
Whenever anyone uses that phrase with a straight face, I immediate think "this person is a passive aggressive manipulative jerk."
Sure, like the ability to be a politician without spending gobs of taxpayer money simply because... it's there.
I'm a conservative but I gotta tell you, it's sticking in my craw that the current crop of incumbent politicians haven't been able, nor willing to stop spending like crazy. Whether it's buying votes or appeasement, stop the madness and put the government back on track.
Rick Santorum (sp?) is a great example of a politician that has the spine to look the polls in the face and still say what he believes is right (he stands by Bush supporting the war among other things). Sonny Perdue the GA governator reduced taxes when we gained a surplus.
That's non-partisan politics.
Or I'm completely full of it and shouldn't be allowed to use vowels anymore...
rght gng wy nw
(oh crap, y is a vowel...)
I wonder if Media Research.org has done a study to document the number of times "partisan politics" has been used in reference to conservatives more so than liberals.
Want to take bets on the ratio?
Mike makes an excellent point and I always agree with Rush. It is good for a lot of politics to be partisan. It means you know what you stand for and you fight for it. Instead of being a wishy washy compromiser.
