I don't know why some people complain about "Partisan Gridlock".

It's the best thing that ever happened - just as the framers of the Constitution intended - to prevent extremist nut-case factions, or charismatic silver tongued @#$%&, from quickly leading us into faulty principles, thus destroying the country.

It's working! ---- else we would have already been relegated to the trash heap of history! Of course, it's not helping much to prevent the slow creeping "Progression" towards a socialistic, classist, and Statist, society; where there is nothing but peasants, and the "Ruling class".

Our Forefathers could only do so much - we must do some of it! --- but so far, our generation has failed miserably. Hence our persistent problems with untrustworthy politicians and unreliable government.
