If you really want to get something done, you have to be part of a team that can muster 218 and work with the Senate and the president. That’s just the way the founders set up the system. ... And that’s going to make it difficult for you to always get what you want.”

That is true.

But it is also true that unless you express your opinion forcefully and demonstrate your willingness to vote against the leadership when they violate your strongly held principles you will be considered a safe vote and your opinions will be ignored.

Sick of these Rinos. They are totally useless. Whatever happened to the GOP of Teddy Roosevelt that fought for people instead of big business, Wall Street & corporate America? The GOP’s nose is so far up their posterior end that it is poking outta their stomach! Give me the Tea Party any day! They are the ONLY people w/ half a brain at all in politics. What does the GOP NOT understand about our nation being bankrupt? Hello, Boehner? Anyone there??? This business as usual is killing the GOP & IF they don’t listen to the Tea Party & other conservatives, they better get used to being a permanent minority of blue blooded, bouncing to & from Wall Street & big business butt kisser old farts! I’m done w/ the GOP. They are worthless. Only the Tea Party gives me a ray of hope.

Not it’s not true. Our government was not set up to “get things done”. It was set up to prevent the national government from getting things done. When something doesn’t “get done”, our founders smile.
