If you, like my father, wax on about how the pendulum swings from conservative to liberal and back again in this country. (And ignore the fact that the country has marched steadily to the right for almost 30 years...don't even bring up Clinton, the dude passed NAFTA and "reformed" welfare. He was a moderate conservative. Why the right demonizes him genuinely mystifies me.)
Anyhow, if you buy the pendulum thing and yearn for bi-partisanship (I'm not sure if my dad does the second part, he just seems to adopt a bi-disgustedship.) I submit to you this: a really smart look at what bi-partisanship has done for us lately, namely give cover for vastly unpopular policies by creating consensus around them, even though the public doesn't agree. Check it out.

Dude! For real, I don't understand all the love Liberals give Clinton either. I always felt (this is one of the reasons I was soo glad that Hillary lost and did not get picked for VP) that the Clintons were smooth talking corporate shills.
