Has there been too much bipartisanship or too little?

The reward Joe Lieberman will receive today is justified by the claimed need for more bipartisanship harmony. Is it even possible to have more than we have now?

    Yes it is...

    The truth is: Having people fight with each other is good entertainment. And where there is good entertainment, there is a lot of money to be made. Political partisanship is a big business. That doesn't make it a good thing for democracy.

    -- wbgonne

    The opposition of the parties is good for democracy just as the division of the branches is good for democracy. Fighting for the sake of fighting (GOP SOP) is not necessarily good, but partisanship is fine.
