America and specifically, Wash-DC, has been in a basic state of political gridlock, for the last 20 years. Outside of 1982 and 1995, when government growth was actually cut, Republicans and Democrats have been playing a game of political chess. Up until, the Republicans slim takeover of Congress, we had 40 years of Democratic Party control of the legislature and 70 years of creeping social-liberalism. Political gridlock isn't helping matters. Elect more conservatives to office and things will change. The problem is, conservatives dont' represent a majority of the voting electorate. So its obvious, why there aren't enough conservatives in Congress, to hold a majority rule. That's why conservative-republicans must appeal to independents and dissatisfied Democrats, in order to form a winning coalition. You give the Republican Party, a veto proof Congress and you will see sweeping change take place.

That is such delusional thinking! No way! There are too many RINO's in the party that aren't about to leave any time soon.
