Bipartisanship - what a wonderful word. We all come together and sing kumbaya around the campfire while taking hits from a fatty. Libs often complain that the United States was founded on us all coming together and that's the way the system is supposed to work (if it weren't for those damn Conservatives.)
But then the left defines everything in terms of themselves. Thus "bipartisanship" means "agreeing with them." Thus the Iraq Study Group was "bipartisan" even though there was nothing Conservative in it. Flip side, Joe Lieberman is a partisan hack when it comes to the war in Iraq.
But the truth is the founding fathers never envisioned a nation where everyone gets along. This is why they put things in the Constitution like Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion - they fully expected someone to try to railroad political opposition. This is why they put checks on powers of each branch of government. That way the people could stop unpopular ideas.
But that aside, the left needs people to agree with them to win anything. They're wrong on every issue in every poll. Most people are pro life. Most people are pro gun. Most people want tougher immigration laws.
Thank god the will of the people never matters to big libs. :)
