We need two reasonable parties?

Well, of course we don't.
I am being rhetorical or maybe Socratic?*

While I don't minimize a need for dialogue on what reasonable is, it might make more sense to be facitious about what a party is, let alone American or thinker.

Yes, we need parties and different perspectives, but it is hard to pinpoint the reasonableness especially in light of the media's cherry picking.

NBC Nightly News tried to make an equivalence (see cherrry picking) in the back and forth, while only a portion of Rep. Schmidt's voicemail was used.** Also earlier, Dylan *** Radigan let stand a charge against MoveOn(5:05 in) and framed the Alinsky Model(5:50 in).

* we do need more reasonableness if not even more parties, but there is also a bit of diversity within each party (or is it without?)
** the reference to a gun seems "third person" if not defensive rather than direct
(not to condone the call)
*** (same reasonableness link) also SEIU charges being still confirmed
