People love to talk about the old bipartisanship. But it wasn't really bipartisanship. Yeah, they had a different label. But they're replaced now by people with basically the same views.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Bipartisanship is really tough to achieve when everyone on both sides is left with a bad, bad taste in their mouths.
Bipartisanship has taken us to the brink of bankruptcy. We don't need bipartisanship, we need application of principle... Where was the call for bipartisanship during the Obamacare debate? Not a single Republican voted for it. It wasn't about bipartisanship, it was about having the votes to dictate your will.
It's nice to say let's be bipartisan. But we're a partisan nation. We were raised as a partisan nation.
The people we elect aren't bipartisan. The American public is bipartisan.
Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.
I'm a Democrat, but I'm really bipartisan - some people might say nonpartisan.
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.
Bipartisanship helps to avoid extremes and imbalances. It causes compromises and accommodations. So let's cooperate.
If ever there was a time for true bipartisanship, it is today.
Bipartisanship isn't an option anymore; it is a requirement. The American people have divided responsibility for leadership right down the middle.
