If the Reoublican Powers that be understood this..we wouldn't have the mess that we are in.
We had a consideraly less liberal Democrat (Clinton compared to Obama, and the most right leaning conservative Congress in seventy years and things got worse.
Don't confuse gridlock with actually electing a President and Congress that might actually have a chance to turn the tide. If Palin, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul are as bad as you seem to believe or imply, then why bother to vote at all because the US would be at the gates of hell.
“Palin, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul...”
If any of ‘em were on a ballot anywhere...I’d be happy to vote for them. Am not votin’ Romney. Period. End of Story.
the 1994 Republican Congress pulled Clinton far more right than Dole ever would have gone...and as a result the USA finances were considerably improved by 2000....
Same thing will happen this time around
