    When they had a chance to do m4a right and had the votes i recall screaming back at the insanity of the television. the message we were being fed of

    bipartisanship

    ... how important it was for Dems to be ...ugh.... bipartisan, and include Republicans input and help from committees on up.

    That was a major foundation crack in my belief in them as a representative party.
