Either way, when the two parties support the same positions and act in harmony, that is the very definition of "bipartisanship," regardless of what is motivating it.
I was thinking of "bipartisanship" more like TreeRol's definition: the two parties work together and reach a compromise that's acceptable to the majority.
But I guess "one party continually rolls over for the other party" would qualify, too. It's still bipartisanship, just a different variety. There's certainly something to be said for the idea that the Democrats are using the old Brer Rabbit - Tarbaby tactic where they bitch and moan about being forced to do what they wanted to do in the first place.
