GRIDLOCK is not the solution

Nov 25, 2011

I think it was before the 2008 Election that I wrote here something like this :

America has many problems and needs to solve them. So, I hope that the Democratic Party can win a substantial VETO proof Majority in order to be able to solve them.

Well, Little did I know that there was such a thing as FILIBUSTER and that the Democratic Party had so many Blue Dogs voting with the GOPers.
So even that MAGICAL 60 Vote Majority would be just a number , and not translate into votes.


The Filibuster makes each senator a DICTATOR who could force his/her will and stop all reasonable solutions .
I remember even the Late Daniel SCHORR naming this STUBBORN REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION ................the TYRANNY of the MINORITY.

The determination of the GOPers to PREVENT Obama to accomplish anything really effective and the intention to make him a ONE TERM President was OBVIOUS to all.

This is why it was amazing for me to see how the Professional LEFT did not take that Opposition into account and blame Obama for everything.
That was not only UNFAIR but STUPID and politically IGNORANT.

Unfortunately, we saw how the MID TERM election gave the House back to the Republican Party with their TEAbagger footsoldiers coming out to vote with Enthousiasm , while the DEMS went MIA on NOV 2, 2010.

Now we really have GRIDLOCK .
This Political griodlock and the ECONOMIC Anxiety has demoralized the American People so much that 73 % think the country is going in the wrong direction .
