Partisanship is the reason for FOX-News' existence, and the reason for MSNBC's rise; it is the animating purpose behind much of the professional political blogosphere. It is, in short, BIG BIG business. It is also one of the primary reasons the U.S. has been essentially dysfunctional for 40 years. I hope Obama can help change this.
I provided numerous examples in what I just wrote of how flagrantly untrue this claim is. I documented the extreme, virtually complete, agreement among the parties over the last eight years on most of the most consequential matters.
And then you come and spout these empty-headed platitudes about how we need more bipartisanship without addressing any of that evidence and without providing any of your own. Why would you think that would be persuasive?
