Is that what’s commonly regarded to be blindly prejudiced? :doh:

It's all based on who's president, which party. We're talking about the debt, Democrats view adding to the debt under Bill Clinton and Obama as good, adding to the debt under G.W. Bush and Trump bad. Debt ceiling votes under Clinton and Obama, Democrats all in favor of raising it. Debt ceiling votes under G.W., Democrats totally against.

Lying to congress and obstruction of Justice for Bill Clinton, according to the democrats that was good. Trump doing the same thing, bad. Democrats favored Obama bypassing congress, against Trump doing so. Democrats loved the nuclear option when Reid first used it, hated it when McConnell expanded it and on and on and on.

either be for or against adding to the national debt regardless of who is president. Be for or against raising the debt ceiling regardless of which party hold the president. Be for or against bypassing congress regardless of which party the president is from. Be for or against the use of the nuclear option regardless of which party controls the senate and which party the president is from.

Have some consistently, take a stand on an issue and hold that stand. Don't switch stances depending on who is president or which party the president is from. That's about as wishy washy as one can get.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
