It's not supposed to work. It was set up to take a long time for the government to change something. The Founding Fathers were suspicious that the politicians who would come after them would streamline wholesale change, or circumvent the Constitution, the Republic, and the Revolution.
Don't buy into the bipartisanship BS. When they all agree on something it's usually not in our best interest.
Our founding fathers were correct in their suspiciouns.

I definitely don't think we need to agree on everything all the time, that's dangerous in of itself. But I don't think the intent of the system was to bring policy making to a standstill either where both sides have lines drawn in the sand and generally oppose each other just for the sake of it.

i don't mean that. but disagreeing just because its the opposite party is just down right stupid. a lot of people took great joy in the Mass. win, but does anyone really know where the Rep. stands on the issues? if so, i skipped that post

He said his vote would be a no against Health Care Reform. I don't see how you missed it when it's been on EVERY single news channel and all over the net?
