And many of us don't want to see bi-partisanship.
For 6 years (Under Mr Bush) both the House and Senate had a Republican majority. It wasn't a majority large enough to actually force anything through congress, therefore, it required bi-partisanship to accomplish anything.
Look at what we ended up with. 2 wars, and and the largest deficit spending in the history of the nation. That's what bi-partisanship gets you.
your assertion is incorrect. for six years the repubs put NOTHING up for a vote if it required a single democratic vote to pass.
That said, the dems were wimps who were afraid to be called "soft on terrorism" and should have filibustered every time the repubs acted insane...like invading Iraq or passing the "patriot act".
Don't ignore all the spending that resulted in the largest deficit in the history of the US.
Mrs Clinton also stood on the floor of the Senate and gave a very impassioned speech about supporting Mr Bush and his efforts to go to war with Iraq.
Nothing passed without bi-partisanship for those 6 years and you know it.
