The Bipartizan Fraud
Politics isn't about bipartisanship - it's about having a distinct philosophy and outlook that applies to many problems and phenomena.
Truly bipartisan positions do exist, but both parties recognize them as such and so they are never debated. For instance the notion that the sun will rise in the East tomorrow morning gets bipartisan support. As does the notion that the United States is a republic.
Beyond those 'big picture' facts and ideals, everything else is up for debate and decision. That's what politics is about.
Bipartisanship is a big fine sounding term for cronyism and backroom deals and silent agreements.
Sound familiar?
