Bipartisanship isn't an option anymore; it is a requirement. The American people have divided responsibility for leadership right down the middle.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.
Bipartisanship is really tough to achieve when everyone on both sides is left with a bad, bad taste in their mouths.
The people we elect aren't bipartisan. The American public is bipartisan.
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.
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.
If ever there was a time for true bipartisanship, it is today.
We don't need bipartisanship, we need application of principle.
