LOL, this I agree with, only because so many in Congress don't know the Constitution, or don't care even if they do.
And the concept of "just getting it over with," is also a crock. Once laws get on the books, and once govt. gets power, the situation very rarely gets corrected.
In the short term, playing politics is all very well and good. But in the long term the country is worse off -- only the average people pay the price, nothing improves, and the country continues its downhill slide.
Just once I would like to see politicians actually try to make the country a better place, instead of making peoples' lives worse.
It's not a crock, its politics. And in case you don't know it, that's how the game is played. In the short term, or the long term, politics remains a part of our society, culture and governemnt. You can't take politics out of life, its part of being a human being, its part of human nature.
Only libertarian deadheads, believe in some idealistic utopian society, where everything is perfect and everyone gets along. That's shear nonsense!
Remember, the Founding Fathers weren't just great revolutionaries, they were the consumate politicians of their day. They knew how to play the political game with the best of them and they usually won out, over the lesser players.

We can always do a better job, but no one is perfect. To say that American's today, don't have the ultimate freedoms and liberties, of any nation in world history, is to overlook the obvious. Why are so many of you people, so damn pessimistic? I've never heard such doom and gloom BS in my life.
This is by far, the best place to live in the world.
Enjoy yourself!
