5. I love how 'bi-partisanship usually means Dems crossing over to vote with Republicans.

Not a single Republican voted with the Dems. So whenever you hear 'bi-partisanship' you know it means that Dems will be voting with Repubs on something or other.

The only time I saw Dems vote in lockstep was for the Wall Street bailouts, which the people were against, and again not one Repub put their name on that even though they wanted it to pass.
