It's not an effort on my part to be fair, nor an effort to draw an equivalency ... It's pointing out a basic fact in American politics. Praising the opposing party for its initiatives is a vanishingly rare phenomenon, so far as I can tell.

Can I pat myself on the back for a moment? What am I talking about? Of course I can. I excel at exactly that!

I do reach across party lines to praise the achievements of Republicans when they are actually doing great things. Richard J. Berry, the Republican mayor here in Albuquerque, is absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't replace him with anyone else.

Then again, New Mexico's Republican governor, Susana Martinez, is a worthless piece of trash. Oh well. At least some of them are still worth keeping, right?

Oh, no doubt. I was speaking about the politicians themselves giving praise to their opponents when merited being rare.
