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?

    Senators think they're part of a cozy club where different rules apply

    And in reality, they are. Members of the Corporatist oligarchy, above the law in many respects (or at least subject to different enforcement than the likes of us mere taxpayer consumers), and holding an exalted view of their own importance and entitlement to priviledge. They are the show-biz side of the oligarchy; the same priviledges apply in spades to corporate CEO's and their coteries and assorted hangers-on.

    They work not for us but for their moneyed masters.

    The fake war between the Parties is a device to divide and confuse the people and obscure the real agenda.

    FISA was the first clue to "meet the new boss; same as the old boss"; the traitor Lieberman's continued elevation is another. Perhaps there will be some positive change, but I'm having a hard time refuting the working hypothesis that Americans really are too fucking dumb to be other than misled donkeys.
