A question

[avevale_intelligencer]

bedlamhouse mentioned in another connection:

"- the (bipartisan) Department of Homeland Security.
- the (bipartisan) Patriot Act
- the (bipartisan) invasion of Afghanistan
- the (bipartisan) invasion of Iraq"

I don't know exactly how the voting went, but from what I do know about the state of Congress certainly leading up to the last midterms, would I be right in thinking that calling them "bipartisan" basically amounts to:

MOMMY: "All right, Tommy, whose idea was it to kick the ball through the window?"

TOMMY (age five): ".......mine." (Pointing at three-year-old baby sister) "But she din't stop me, so that makes it her fault too!"

I'm sure some Democrats voted for these things. I'm equally sure no Democrat originated them. I'm open to correction, though, hence the question.

Thank you for checking this.

I should look up who those people were; those "NO" votes must have taken courage. On both sides of the aisle.
