The Public Discourse: Partisanship - The Voice for Comprehensive Debate
The economy is in shambles, schools desperately need reform and 46 million Americans are still without any health insurance. Amidst what seems like imminent disaster, it seems as though the people of the United States are tired of the petty politics that divide this country. We believe that it is now time to call upon our respective Congresspersons to finally reach across party lines and get policies passed. A noble endeavor to be sure. However, blindly engaging in bipartisanship just to get legislation passed is a horrible idea. This isn't to say that I am against bipartisanship in general, just that partisanship is often quite necessary.
