Jesse Jackson Quotes

If ever there was a time for true bipartisanship, it is today.

True bipartisanship isn’t talking about it. It’s delivering it.

Bipartisanship means you work together to work it out.

We must work together as Americans in a bipartisan fashion.

I'm a strong believer in bipartisanship.

I sure tried to help deliver compromise, consensus, bipartisanship.

I'm a believer in bipartisanship.

We aren't as divided as we think we are. We're not just Republicans sitting in one corner, and Democrats sitting in the other corner.

Bipartisanship is “the oil of national government.”

Moderation and bipartisan consensus go hand in hand.

I have a lot of reason to believe, as we saw in the 2012 election, most Americans don't agree with the extremists on any side of an issue, but there needs to continue to be an effort to find common ground, or even take it to higher ground on behalf of the future.

Sometimes, we find common ground; more often, we don't.

We owe it to the American people to set aside the areas where our ideology may prevent progress and find common ground where there are plenty of opportunities to produce good results.

I will do my part every day to work with my colleagues in a bipartisan fashion to unite us, and not divide us.

Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.

Bipartisanship helps to avoid extremes and imbalances. It causes compromises and accommodations. So let's cooperate.

Whether we're Democrats or Republicans or independents, we have to learn to hang together or we're gonna hang separately.

I believe any time that both parties are talking, it's a good thing.

I don't doubt the sincerity of my Democratic friends. And they should not doubt ours.

Bipartisanship may be abnormal, but it does occur. The challenge is to explain why it occurs at all, and why it never lasts.

Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.

Too often bipartisanship is equated with centrism or deal-cutting. Bipartisanship is not the opposite of principle. One can be very conservative or very liberal and still have a bipartisan mind-set. Such a mind-set acknowledges that the other party is also patriotic and may have some good ideas. It acknowledges that national unity is important, and that aggressive partisanship deepens cynicism, sharpens political vendettas and depletes the national reserve of good will that is critical to our survival in hard times

if we stop talking at one another, and start talking with one another, we can get a lot done.

Conservatives are not our enemies. They are our neighbors.
