it's irresponsible for Glenn to smear the future with the past and imply or infer that bipartisanship will somehow always lead to Bush-like policies ....
Glenn can speak for himself but, as I recall it, he didn't imply that genuine (or, should I say, theoretical) bipartisanship would lead to Bush-like policies. Rather, the refusal to challenge or prosecute those policies--and the actors in them--would lead us to a future we wouldn't necessarily enjoy living in (again, not Glenn's view, but mine).
These generalizations are more desructive than constructive.
I'm sorry to say that over time these probably will cease to be generalizations and will become, disappointingly, far more specific. In any event, there's nothing wrong with challenging those in power from the outset. Why would a citizen in a democracy/republic do anything less?
