What the fuck is wrong with you assclowns who keep spounting this "Gridlock is Good" shit?!?!
I get it, you don't want government to do anything... WTF? Have you ever heard anyone say "taxes are just right?!" No, motherfucker, taxes are too high, spending is too great, and government control is too overbearing. Gridlock won't solve those things, and your fucking defeatist attitude isn't helping. We need conservative control. We need government to do things, we need them to repeal, reduce and remove the out of control over-reaching infractions into our lives. We cannot move forward with gridlock. |

In my opinion, gridlock is good, AND gridlock sucks.
It would have come in REALLY handy during the whole "ObamaCare" goatscrew; with a more evenly balanced House and Senate, it would NOT have gotten passed, ditto the other Leftist bullshit that got way too close to becoming law. For things like this, gridock is indeed a good thing, or am I wrong? With GOOD stuff, gridlock would REQUIRE imput from both sides of the aisle to insure passage, which is as it should be. Gridlock sucks when good ideas get stalled when the "other" Party wants to pass bills, but can't because the said idea flies in the face of the America-hating, Socialist, baby-killing, killer-coddling opposing Party. |
| It will be intresting to see who blinks first on the Bush Tax Cuts. I must be honest and say I'm not too excited to see my taxes go up by about $1400 a year if they can't agree and the cuts expire. That said if we elected real deficit hawks they should be allowed to expire. The really sad part is the tools in DC think the money is theirs to begin with. |

How come moderates always get us more socialist by reaching across the aisle, and never more conservative? Why is it a one-way trip? Once you go Barack... |

How come moderates always get us more socialist by reaching across the aisle, and never more conservative? Why is it a one-way trip? My reasoning on that is similar to my reasoning on this "gridlock is good" phenomenon. Many conservatives do not see returning to a reasonable level of government are progress, they see it as regression (and rightly so.) If we were instead change our mindset to see regression as a goal to move FORWARDS to, then I think we would gain better traction. In the past the R's have often been nothing more than an obstructionist party, even when they have had complete power. |

The problem is, government doesn't repeal, reduce, or remove. All that happens is more things get added, and self-important members of what has become, by and large, a self-sustaining and seperate political class will continue to argue and bicker and divide up the fruits of the labors of the people they supposedly represent. So yeah, gridlock is good, and I wish we'd had unbreakable gridlock for the last 30 years. |

Gridlock is good for now. In fact, it's probably best for now. Why is it best? First, we want to stop the Obama agenda, gridlock will accomplish that. Second, we want to make Obama a one term POTUS. If we roll back the Obama/Pelosi accomplishments and improve the economy, Obama will take credit, just as Clinton did, and it will give him ammo for his 2012 run. Same goes for the leftists still in the Congress, let's not make them look good for 2012. So again, gridlock is good. Third, we want to undo all Obama has done. To do that we need a strong conservative POTUS and Congress. See above, to accomplish that gridlock is good. You want to play checkers, but the game is chess. |

I think neutral is a gear you pretty much have to go into before shifting into reverse, as in reverse your expectations of what government is going to provide.
Gridlock is neutral. We've had gridlock before but the big things never got addressed, like SS or Medicare or Pensions. My sympathies are with you in that gridlock is not a solution in and of itself. |
