Ah, bipartisanship ...

As the corporate hacks in the media are insisting that Democrats must be bipartisan because they, the all-knowing media hacks, know how the governed should think, the Republicans are preparing for war:
Rep. Roy Blunt, the House of Representatives' second-ranking Republican, stepped down from his leadership post Thursday as the House GOP moved quickly to reposition itself as more conservative, unified and eager to fight Democrats in the Obama era.
Notice there is no call for the Republicans to be bipartisan. Whether in the majority or not the Dems are advised by the corporate media to be bipartisan and govern as the corporate establishment wishes. It the Thugs are in the majority no one expects them to do other than ignore the other party, the country and the world except where they can figure out how to corrupt, fleece or destroy it. If the Thugs are not in the majority no one suggest they should work with the other party for the good of the country. What a joke that would be! No. All out war is their motto and the corporate media hacks will ride the resulting political roller coaster for fun and profit.

The argument that we are a "right-center" country is already getting old. The NYT published the US map showing how each precinct voted comparing '08 with '04. In all but a small swatch which ran through parts of the mid-South, almost every precinct moved toward the left. The US is more blue than red, the numbers confirm it. Tom Brokaw and his crew need to get over it, or at least retire now before they start looking even more irrelevant.

I agree but I don't think the corporate media will stop its effort to brain wash us unless we can get legislation that breaks news organization away from entertainment corporations and a political 'fairness' doctrine. The fact that the corporations control the news is destroying the country.
