Bipartisanship - Overrated

Much lauded bipartisanship is greatly overrate.

To the Congress:

Just vote your conscious; not your career. Be willing to go home if your constituency objects. Vote for what you truly believe is right on the the issue at hand; not for a vote to be named later, more office space, a ride on Air Force One or an impressive committee assignment. Just do what is right or go home.

Bipartisanship is the source of muddled, weak legislation. It is the first step in plausible deniability and the lack of accountability.

Voters really don't care about bipartisanship. If they say they do, its only when they want the opposition to vote their way.

What voters care about is conscience, courage and commitment. Whatever your political views either side can admirer those traits.
