Blue Alert!

According to the Washington Post:

"As President Bush prepares for his second term, Democrats in Washington and around the country are organizing for a year of confrontation and resistance, saying they are determined to block Bush's major initiatives and thereby deny him the mandate he has claimed from his reelection victory last November."

While Bush repeats his earnest desire for bipartisanship that snookered them in the past, the Dems aren't falling for it this time.

...." saying they do not believe Bush is genuinely interested in cooperation or compromise with the opposition.

"The president's idea of bipartisanship is, 'Here's what I want to do, join me,' " said Rep. Robert Menendez (N.J.), chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. "It isn't about negotiating. It isn't about compromise. It's almost this belief that they have the monopoly on what's best for the country."

To which we say, what do you mean almost?
