Bipartisanship requires both sides to be engaged, ten. You can't have bipartisanship when one party, namely the GOP, has decided they will oppose everything the Dems propose, even when some of those proposals the GOP themselves proposed in previous years.

My view is the bipartisanship is over-rated. When a party is elected to get a job done, they have been given a mandate by the voters. The number one thing voters are interested in is progress on the agenda they voted for, not holding hands with the other party.

I think the GOP has always known this. I fault the Bush Admin and the GOP for many things over the last decade, but one thing I will always admire about them is that they got their agenda done, come hell or high water. That is exactly what I am recommending the Dems do...sweep the truculent GOP aside and get the job done. Let the elections in November take care of themselves.
