^ I couldn't agree more- just caught this prior to finishing post... and they pass these laws in the middle of the night like the common criminals they are.

Everyone morphs when they come to Washington. If they arrive as idealistic, principled servants of the electorate, they quickly become self-serving Machiavellian zombies, interested only in getting re-elected by means of raising as much money as possible, mainly by pandering to lobbyists and whatever special interest group is willing to pay them off. Of the 535 members of Congress, I trust none of them. As far as becoming one party, that's not happening, as reaching a consensus is impossible, as it's every man for himself. If it were possible to elect a president that could truly lead both houses by example, we have a chance. If we elect yet another bozo, it will be more of the same.
And why do you think that is?
Tarpon, term limits would partially solve that. Our founding fathers meant for politics to be a
PART- TIME occupation before one went back to their REAL job. Take away well- earned pensions (snicker) AND cutback on the bennies- salaries, free lunches, vacations, cars, etc.
Then make Obamacare MANDATORY for them. (gasp)
Since we can't create good character, we have to tie their hands and make it as difficult as possible for them to exploit the working classes's with strange laws, unhindered illegal migration, foreign incursions, etc.
