Bipartisan bickering? That's the way government is supposed to work!! I didn't vote for the Hilda Beast!! She is diametrically opposed to most things I believe in, so why would I want my elected officials to make all lovie with her and vote for her initiatives!!?? Likewise I'm sure. I vote hard party line conservative, I don't think the more liberal districts in this country would appreciate their representatives siding with my elected officials... It works as designed. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Powell run in 08. Personally, I would have liked to have seen Allen Keys win. If you saw any of the debates, he left all of the other Republican candidates in the dirt.
