Poll question: Which style of governing do you prefer?
Oh, yeah - it's a push poll, all right. :7

1. These days, it's only #2, I'm sorry.
The only bipartisanship I've seen over the last 2.25 decades only went to help the corporations, who in turn SCREW THE PEOPLE.

It's time for government to work for WE, THE PEOPLE again.

5. Amen!
I'm all for bipartisanship when I can be convinced that people are serious about implementing rational ideas from both sides of the poltical spectrum in the interest of good PUBLIC policy. Right now, all I see are radicals on the right and appeasers in the center. Not much room for bipartisanship there.

2. I guess most DUers so far agree with Grover Noquists eloquent
Bipartisanship=date rape opinion more than disagree with it.

3. The GOP, under the leadership of men like Bush, Cheney,
DeLay and Hastert are going to RAPE us, the people, if we attempt bipartisanship. They must be obstructed and opposed. I could see our need for "bipartisanship" if the Democratic party were filled with Wellstones and Feingolds, but that ain't the case. I refuse to be tugged to the edge of the cliff by these right-wing shitheads and DLC clowns inch by rightward inch.

6. We could learn a lot from Norquist. He's an excellent strategist and
organizer.

4. I'm in no mood to compromise
our freedom and rights to the Kool Aid crowd.

7. George Carlin: "Bipartisanship means some greater than average
deception is going on"
