Peter Kirsanow, a former NLRB recess appointment who was part of the much-maligned Bush labor board, writes in today’s National Review Online that “Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rangel, Schumer, etc, have been saying over the last year, they should realize that on the major issues of the day, liberals are determined to take the nation down a hard left path that will, in the words of Obama, ‘fundamentally transform’ America.” Mr. Kirsanow, himself among the more controversial and partisan figures in Washington, warns that bipartisanship could be dangerous in the coming months. Mr. Kirsanow asks: “For those inclined to make nice, which of the following Democratic agenda items are you prepared to sign on to so that you'll get invited to the right parties?” He mentions, among other things, the Employee Free Choice Act, immigration reform, and racial and ethnic preferences.

Mr. Kirsanow has this to say about Senator McCain’s role in the next Congress:

Senator McCain is an American hero, a remarkable man. I can think of few I respect more. But he's likely to be the first to be leading the charge toward bipartisanship. This would be a mistake of galactic proportions. This must be resisted.
