oh, the two wrongs make a right line of thinking. gotcha. funny thing is, you probably think you're progressive in your thinking that reps are evil, dems are good. it's no different than someone who thinks the opposite. it's the same (faulty) logic.
the system is broken. it's not 'we the people' anymore. the parties rule, with the members of congress either toeing the party line, or getting replaced-note lieberman a few years back when the dems produced another candidate, and he had to run as an indy. as long as the two parties rule, with their vying to hold power, nothing will change in d.c. it doesn't matter who is the majority, or who is the minority. no one has the spine to do what's needed, as the party needs to keep them in their seats to retain the parties power. if you don't back your party's play, they'll find someone who will. the thought that all that's wrong right now is due only to republicans refusing to be bipartisan is laughable. the opposite occurs when the dems are in the minority because that's how the game is played. your contention that all the gridlock and problems are due only to stonewalling by one side is ridiculous. it's your agenda, it's what you think-but the dems aren't all truth and light and reps the evil monster, or vice versa. a bi partisan commission has produced some ideas. how much do you suppose happens or changes? i'd wager not much at all.
