Instead of the usual dualistic lib/con name calling fest I thought maybe we could discuss bipartisanship. What do you think? I found this example:
"Identify yourself as a "Democrat" or "Republican," and hardly anybody will accuse you of being a reformer. Party labels of any kind are increasingly -- and correctly -- seen as obstacles to the kind of sweeping change voters want.
That political mindset explains how Democrat Andrew Cuomo wound up on Long Island yesterday, standing with Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, a Republican. They joined forces to push for an annual 2 percent cap on property taxes, an appealing image of bipartisan support for the popular idea.
It was an unlikely scenario, given that another Long Island Republican, Rick Lazio, is running against Cuomo for governor. And that's the point, especially for Cuomo."
