I'm saying that if the people like us who are limited by the two party system could encourage enough bipartisanship outside of existing labels;congress needs to get the message that being on one side or the other on an issue doesn't count anymore because nothing changes the drums of war. It's like with the budget stuff, it's about like professional wrestling with the outcome predetermined before the wrangling.
In other words if senators x,y and z really wanted to do something about Libya(it was bipartisan)they would and could. Anything else is unadulterated bullshit.
ahhhh....I see.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) one of the byproducts of our political system is posturing.
Right now our political system is experiencing the effects of an extremist agenda that supports intransigence instead of compromise. Hopefully this will pass and our government can go back to it's roots of being by and for the people.
Edited to include: As far as the situation in Libya, the support our country is providing the people of Libya is no different that the support provided to other countries suffering under an extreme regime through the annals of diplomacy.
Views such as...
One current example is the congress show on Libya. If they had any balls they would use their emergency powers if they still have any, to halt the aggression now. I believe instead that's it's purely posturing and theater.

...imply our actions in Libya are "aggressive", whereas that is far from the truth. We (including NATO) are there for the people of Libya.
