I believe that are already ineffective to a great point on many serious issues.

Something has got to give one way or the other.

Right, we just cannot allow the dems to be soley in charge. That's the way they want it but one viewpoint is never a good idea. Like the one man in charge of everything as in the Beatle's company, Apple Corps., one party would similarly destroy the US. The "common good" is to be overseen by a representative government of the people, by the people, for the people and should likely be legislated from a center right position. Not a liberal point of view.

If only one party were to gain too much control, the same kind of corruption that brought down Apple Corps would bring down the whole nation. Harry Reid IMO, has done far more to thwart the workings of government than anybody else I can think of. He has turned his democratically controlled Senate into a kind of big bully because he has the power to trump every thing the republican controlled House tries to do. That's why we haven't had a budget since George W left offfice and the congress has been locked in partisan gridlock since the day democrats lost their majority in the House. Remember, it was the House that rammed through ObamaCare. Prince Harry Reid sure didn't hesitate to bring up that legislation on the floor and then ratified it ASAP! I would think it is obvious by now the democrats are trying to destroy the republicans. My contention is, if they manage to do that they will also destroy the country along with them. We can't survive with only one party. Especially one which is ruthless enough to defy the constitution and gut as much of it as they can while they still control the Senate. In short, they're trying to govern from a point of view rather than the traditional workings of government. That point of view is one of social justice. http://www.stthomas.edu/socialwork/socia...iples.html

You watch and see. Obama knows that two years may be all he has left in which to "fundamentally change the face of America", therefore, prior to the mid-terms of 2014, he will pass every left wing extremist agenda item he possibly can. You'll see nothing but social justice nonsense being voted on from gun control to more ways to redistribute wealth. And, Harry Reid and his side kick, Nancy Pelosi, will shamelessly (and mindlessly) assist him any way they possibly can. I just pray conservative America shows evidence of a heartbeat and republicans take back the Senate in 2014.
