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?

    You're confusing "bipartisanship" with "sucking up to Republicans" here

    Wouldn't "bipartisanship" mean that at least sometimes, the Democrats get what they want and the Republicans help them get it? Can you point me to even a single instance of that actually happening?

    Now, the other way around - Democrats selling out their positions and supporters to give the Republicans what they want - happens all the time. But I can't think of a single instance in recent memory where the Republicans returned the favor.

    Can you?
