| The_vagabond7 said: that's kind of the catch 22, Nightdragon. If congress and the senate are ruled by the majority opposite of the president, nothing gets done (like the past two years), if the President's party is in power then lots of terrible things get done (like the previous six years). Either way the country gets screwed by partisan incompetence. |
Except the Democrats are a much more divided party. There are fiscally conservative democrat (Reagen Dems) religious right democrats (rr-anti-war for instance), Hawkish Democrats (the Neo-cons actually started as Democrats) though most of these are keeping quiet right now. Republicans are a much less fractured, and tend to follow voting orders better than Dems, look at the Bail out Dems were under orders and 95/63 Democrats still voted against it.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
