What? Democrats aren't playing bipartisan patty-cake with the Rethuglies?

Good! Not only good, but excellent! It's high time that members of the Democratic Party stand up to the right-wing extremists who control the GOP and the politicians that pander to them.

I see no reason to apologize for "twisting the knife," either. I remember one Rethugly in particular--Grover Norqist--claiming that bipartisanship is an invitation to date rape. If that's the way the Rethuglies want to play the game, I have no objection to Democratic women responding to such GOP stuff by going Lorena Bobbett on them.

The Rethuglies set up the game, they threw out the rule-book, and now they (and the chumps in the lame-stream corporate media) are whining that Democrats aren't playing nice with them. It's their situation, they co-created it, and now they get to deal with it!
