Here are some political terms you ought to really understand.
Bipartisan: "We are hoping to receive bipartisan support." What it really means is if you vote my way you are right, if you do not you are an ideologue and an idiot, and I do not want to hear from you.
Get involved: "It is important for you to get involved in the political process." What it really means is send me your campaign contribution.
Campaign Reform: "We are hoping to push campaign reform before the next election." This really means do not send a campaign contribution to my opponent.
Political Pundit: "CNN and Fox will get their talking points from a political pundit." This is a person who gets paid for spouting party rhetoric. See also apologist, propagandist. See Ed Rollins, Robert Novak, James Carville, Paul Begala, Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter etc.

eg "There will be retibution if you don't contribute to Hilary".
(paraphrased from New York Mag with Obama on the cover, as quoted by a Clinton worker)
