We simply must look beyond partisan goals and find common ground as Americans. It is imperative that the Members of Congress recognize that partisanship will not serve the American people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As partisans of our own way of life, we cannot help thinking in a partisan manner.
We've gotten to the point now where Republicans and Democrats have nothing in common besides being members of the 'caustic caucus,' and we can't get anything done.
We can't allow ourselves to descend down the rabbit hole of unbridled partisanship for partisan sake.
I think right now we need to look back at the founding values of our country. Rise above partisanship, be less bitter when it comes to important matters that have to be solved.
Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other.
We can bring people together in an era rife with partisanship and divide.
I understand that one of the purposes of bipartisanship is to cram something difficult and necessary down the American people's gullets for which neither party has the fortitude to assume full responsibility. It's a way of turning a possible gangplank into a teeter-totter.
I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.
If you are tired of partisanship over patriotism, you need to vote for a change in direction.
Bipartisanship isn't an option anymore; it is a requirement. The American people have divided responsibility for leadership right down the middle.
