It's always valuable for someone running for president... to have as much bipartisan support as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have also come to understand Congress' need for a bipartisan as well as a partisan capacity.
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.
The one thing I'm convinced George W. Bush is good at is bipartisanship. It's clearly something he enjoys personally.
I'm a strong believer in bipartisanship.
I think there's bipartisan support in the Senate to pass a good reform bill.
Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.
It was important for us to be as supportive as our candidates and as our incumbent senators would have us be.
Above all else stands the burning question of bipartisanship. Whatever else the politicians might say they're about, our news analysts know that this is the true object of the nation's desire, the topic to which those slippery presidential spokesmen need always to be dragged back.
I'm a believer in bipartisanship.
There's a huge cost in being bipartisan, a tradition started by Newt Gingrich when he took over the House in 1994 and has continued forward, that you dare not vote against the Republican Party even if you're voting against your own initiatives and your own interests.
