Washington (CNN) -- Bipartisanship is in the eye of the beholder, it seems, as Democrats and Republicans ponder how cooperation between them can improve after the upcoming congressional elections. The voting on November 2 is expected to diminish Democratic majorities in both chambers and perhaps cost them control of the House. Whatever the final tally, widespread voter dissatisfaction with the hostile political climate in Washington is evident. Democrats blame Republican intransigence, calling the GOP a "party of no" that has opposed almost every initiative to undermine President Barack Obama's campaign pledge to change Washington politics. Republican leaders say their opposition is a response to a left-leaning agenda pushed by Obama and Democratic leaders that far exceeds what the public wants. In a new development this election cycle, the conservative Tea Party movement wants to throw out both parties, but its agenda aligns it with Republicans in the heated campaigning.

Of course we can.

I will personally help pack all of their belonging onto a big truck & speed them on their way.
After that, I will work with them to defeat any other democrats that are hanging around waiting for the MSM to provide cover until the next election. - after all, aren’t a bunch of them saying that they don’t support Pelosi & her policies?

Democrats’ definition of bipartisanship is for the GOP to rubberstamp the Dems’ communist agenda.

Why is everyone up in arms about working together. Of course we can and we should work together. . . as long as the socialist rats realize that obamanation is going to end and sanity and conservation of our economy/culture/constitution is to return. As long as the rats cooperate with the coming status quo we can get along just dandy!!!

The article used a whole bunch of words to say absolutely nothing.

The dems had their chance to work with pubbies over the last 18 years and refused totally!

Time for the pubbies to fight the fight they were elected to due instead of rolling over and pissing on their bellies luck submissive puppies.

Why should they? How about after all the Progressives are investigated and charged if anything is found...

Let’s clean house, convict the guilty and fix the country!

Let’s face it...we can’t hurt the country if they spend the next two years investigating and now signing anymore spending bills!!!

Since this is a “post partisan nation”, there is no need to do so...

YES - If the Republican wants to ensure he only serves one term.
