For myself, I look at an example of bipartisanship - when the Democratic Party voted to make most of the Bush tax cuts permanent, and I consider THAT to be a betrayal, and NOT a good thing at all. But yay, it was bi-partisan. In the Senate 49 Democrats and 40 Republicans voted for it, whereas only 3 Democrats and 5 Republicans voted against it (ATRA that is). In the House it was "85 Republicans and 172 Democrats voted in favor while 151 Republicans and 16 Democrats were opposed." (according to wiki)
Well, thank goodness that large parts of BOTH parties can agree on permanent tax cuts for the rich. That sure helps me to believe in the golden rule - those who have the gold make the rules.
