I'm somewhat amazed she was able to say "Democrats believe in the free market" and keep a straight face.
Still, if you're trying to push a bipartisan compromise, it's very bad tactics to come out and insult the opposing party in your opening paragraphs. Either she doesn't know what bipartisan is or she actually wanted the bill to fail.
'Cause after all, she's viewed as the uber-liberal *, and periodically tarred and feathered as an example of godless Californian immorality. She's probably never had a Republican offer to work with her, and I doubt she'd offer to work with one of them, either.
* Except in election years, when the most liberal congressperson is whoever the Democrats pick as a presidential candidate.
