Barrett the Bi-Partisan?

It's funny how partisan liberals like Barack Obama and Tom Barrett only preach the need for bipartisanship during an election or when they think they're about to lose power. Both motivations seem to be driving Tom Barrett's plan to take control of redistricting away from the legislature and give it to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board whose members he would appoint if elected Governor.

Barrett has no history of bipartisanship. In fact in Congress, Barrett voted with Democrats 92% of the time and earned the label of hard core liberal for his far left positions on taxing, spending, and government run healthcare.

Nor has Barrett ever had an original idea. Barrett introduced his "bipartisan" plan for redistricting the day after several opinion pieces authored by liberals appeared in newspapers calling for the same.

Funny how that happens.
