Our Government, thoughts on current disconnect between Rep and Dem?
invoke the "nuclear option," a technical change that is sure to worsen the
divide between Democrats and Republicans.</p>
SSG, the current disconnect is a result of both parties being controlled by the lunatic fringe at polar opposites of the spectrum. It's simply a matter of small groups making so much noise; spending so much money to advanced their agendas, and shouting down anybody who doesn't believe exactly what they do. Until the middle reasserts itself, we will continue to witness the colossal lack of civility; inability to compromise; failure to develop positive constructive solutions, and phenomenal selfishness that has risen during the last generation. These people don't represent the views of the vast majority of Americans. They speak for a small but vocal minority.
My humble opinion.
