I'm a believer in bipartisanship.

I'm a strong believer in bipartisanship.

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.

I have a mindset that says bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view.

Bipartisanship isn't an option anymore; it is a requirement. The American people have divided responsibility for leadership right down the middle.

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.

Bipartisanship helps to avoid extremes and imbalances. It causes compromises and accommodations. So let's cooperate.

It's nice to say let's be bipartisan. But we're a partisan nation. We were raised as a partisan nation.

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.
