Can there be bipartisanship in a two party political system?
Is it possible to achieve this - the word compromise for the greater good or is it a futile effort?
It used to be done this way, until Gingrich's House, and the Contract on America. There it was decided that the only way to govern was to have the House, the Senate and the Presidency...and by golly, they did it!

Democrats expect people to pull together to help one another in a collective way. They do not realize this system removes a certain amount of individual freedom through raising taxes. Republicans want to empower the individual by keeping taxes low. They believe individuals, (through the self-effort...
