11. They're not kissing elephant ass.
The so-called compromising under the guise of "bipartisanship" is nothing more than a cover for kissing corporate ass. Always has been, always will be.

The phrase "working in a bipartisan fashion" means one of two things, depending on the person uttering the phrase. If s/he is Republican, it means s/he is up for re-election in a Dem state and they're desperate. If s/he is a Dem, it's invariably used as an excuse to abandon any and all campaign promises and sell out the constituents to the highest bidder. It's despicable no matter who is using it but it's especially heinous when it's used as a cover to sell the public's health care to the highest bidder. Lives are at stake but that means nothing when corporate profits are being threatened. I think we all know who will win out in the end.
