Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislatureā€¦ If the next centennial does not find us a great nationā€¦it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces. - James A Garfield

I think you mean a well-reinforced bias. In that he instantly rejects things that don't conform to his pre-formulated opinion and accepts anything that does.

Power corrupts.  It happens at every level of government, in both parties.  Learn to government people.


yep - Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely.

The 2-3 party system is actually great - its just that the Republican are severely crippled in their thinking and im not sure if they will ever recover.

Balance is the future but i wonder if we'll ever get there.

Stop describing yourself. I've read lots of your posts (I don't really post here), and this is exactly how you come across. It's disgusting. You're almost widow 2.0

Look, I told you I'm not calling you back and I'm not interested in a second date.

And he won't hear a single argument against that conclusion.
