The Third Way

Partisan: an adherent or supporter of a person, group, party, or cause, esp. a person who shows a biased, emotional allegiance.
BiPartisan: representing, characterized by, or including members from two parties or factions


Maybe we should be trying for nonpartisanship rather than bipartisanship?
I believe Obama is looking for a Third Way; something that isn't Democratic and isn't Republican.
Republicans won't play ball unless we use their rules, and Democrats won't play ball if Republicans whine and complain (which they do).
Great.

Bipartisanship is not beneficial to American Democracy; NONpartisanhsip would serve us better.

UPDATE: It turns out there's a non-profit, non-partisan think tank in Washington DC called Third Way which advances a progressive agenda.
So, I guess somebody already took Third Way.
