| Bi-Partisan Government WON'T work... |
 |
it sounds like a great idea. Everybody
working together for the greater good. But,
"our" government is too entrenched in this US
against THEM. Democrat versus Republican
drama for it ever to happen.
Even if someone comes up with a good idea.
they'll never get it passed by the other
side.
it's why NOTHING ever gets done. and problems
never get SOLVED.

| Bipartisan Dialogue highlights |
 |
In January 2009, the next president and
Congress will have to find consensus on an
agenda to confront the many challenges our
nation faces overseas. Regardless of the
outcome in November, Americas foreign policy
can only be fully successful with support
from both sides of the aisle. On September 11
-- when the intense partisan battles of the
election season were set aside for a day of
national remembrance -- the Partnership for a
Secure America and The Century Foundation
brought together Democrats and Republicans to
seek consensus on national security issues.
In Bipartisan Dialogue: Finding Common Ground
for a Secure America, high-level advisors to
both parties discuss foreign policy and
national security solutions that both sides
can support.

| McCain's Bipartisan Legacy, Helpul or Hurtful? |
 |
PlusMcCain's Bipartisan Legacy, Helpul or
Hurtful?McCain's Bipartisan Legacy, Helpul or
Hurtful?The Associated PressThrough his
career, Republican John McCain has earned a
reputation for reaching across the political
aisle, a trait that could make him more
attractive to some voters, but at the cost of
some bruised feelings in his party. (July
2)It's part of his political image: John
McCain, the maverick GOP senator who's
crossed the aisle time and time again seeking
bi-partisan compromises on key issues.
McCain's ability to reach agreements is part
of his selling point to Clinton-Democrats and
Independents in his run for the White House.
SOT: McCain "I don't mind telling you right
now, I will reach my hand over the aisle to
the democratsSOT: Dan Ronayne, GOP Strategist
16:45:35 "The one things we've always known
about John McCain is that he stands on
principle and that he does what he thinks it
is right." //16:48:40: if that's going to
rile a few folks in his party -- he'll do
that." Indeed McCain's aisle-crossing has
riled a few folks in his party. To some
Republicans, the senator has crossed the
line, literally. Take a day in 2002 when
he set up shop in an office belonging to then
Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt. It was
a move that led then Majority Leader Dick
Armey to call McCain - 'a legend in his own
mind.' But McCain's brand of politics has
also brought some successes -- from campaign
finance reform -- to judicial nominees, to a
ban on the use of torture on terror suspects
-- and it's broadened his appeal
outside the traditional GOP brand.SOT:
Backus : 2:14 the number one cardinal rule of
politics is - the candidate that convinces
voters will connect with voters will win ,
voters want to elect someone who understands
where they're coming from Not all of
McCain's efforts at compromise have worked
out -- attempts to pass a patient bill of
rights failed -- as did a recent attempt at
immigration reform.SOT: 16:49:17 Dan Ronayne,
GOP Strategist : 16:50:45 When senator mccain
has fallen short he's done so with his
courage of conviction, this is a guy that
speaks straight, and follows through. And
McCain isn't the only candidate trying to be
seen as a deal guy. Obama is playing up
his bipartisan credentials as well -- the
difference is perhaps in HOW SOT: 4:50, It's
very interesting that McCain is still using
traditional politics against a candidate who
has sort of defied all those things so far,
and has been able to change the subject I
think the tension in the general elections.
And as yet, Obama hasn't crossed the aisle
to the ire of his own party. __________

| Honorable Andy Jacobs exposes bi-partisan sellout of US |
 |
Andy Jacobs, former Indiana Congressperson,
decried the unconstitutional and illegal war
against Iraq and exposed the bi-partisan
sellout of the US to foreign investors.
Foreign investment - and US budget deficits -
have financed US wars, including the war
against Iraq. This sellout - started during
the Reagan administration - rescinded tax
withholding from foreign investments. This
reduced interest rates, but also led to a
skyrocketing of foreign debt. Most media -
such as Washington Post and the Today Show -
chose to remain silent on this sell-out.

Jacobs further examined the unconstitutional
abdication of war powers authority by
Congress in October, 2002. Unilateral war
making by rulers is the most oppressive of
the kingly oppressions, said Jacobs.
Jacobs, a Koren War veteran, spoke on April
18, 2007 on "US Policy in the Middle East:
Diplomacy, Foreigh Debt and War Powers." He
spoke in the General Pershing Room of the War
Memorial, Indianapolis, Indiana. He shared
the podium with Scott Ritter, former Major of
the US Mariens and former UN Chief UNSCOM
Weapons Inspector in Iraq. See Ritter's talks

The program was sponsored by Veterans for
Peace, Indiana Chapter #49, Indianapolis

and Justice Center, and Traprock Peace
