The update about says it. Bipartisanship means Democrats and Republicans working together to marginalize the people, specifically the left and the Libertarian right, but really all citizens. It means pundits and the MSM working together against the blogosphere.
Partisanship existed during the Bush administration because politicians were actually forced to listen to and even sometimes reluctantly, though temporarily, act upon the vociferous demands of the people. Partisanship, the people v. "center-right," elected Obama. This fact, of course, causes great consternation among the establishment.
Will Obama listen to and act upon the demands of those that elected him (partisanship)? Or will he (once again) join with fellow members of the league of status quo, and rule independent of his constituency (bipartisanship).
Bipartisan means "people of the US, STFU."
