Is Political Partisanship out of control?

Red state, blue state divide: One party will never rule!

"Despite Democratic promises that the House Rules Committee would operate much differently in the new majority, it is as partisan as ever," writes the Hill.

"Furious with how the powerful panel has been directed this year, all four Republican members of the Rules Committee took to the floor Tuesday night to air their grievances publicly."

Wow! Who woulda thunk partisanship wouldn't stop just because Democrats took office?

The partisanship between the left and right hasn't abated in decades. Each side wants to rule America supremely and, therefore, constantly seeks to tarnish the image of the other side, even at the expense of needed legislation. And, every piece of legislation that does pass is riddled with earmarks, pork and other special projects - costing average American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars.

Of course, whom can blame them?

Average, centrist America has let the radical right and left control both major parties. Thus, average Americans continue to get screwed by Congress and the White House, and nothing is going to change that until America Votes out all Incumbents, or both parties begin to realize that their job is constructive consensus, not violent partisanship.

Rate partisanship. Is partisanship a necessary evil in politics or the sign of a dysfunctional political system?

Could Congress be any more inept?

For decades, maybe forever, politicians have been engaged in a divisive, bitter partisan debate. Consequently, the Party has become more important than the people. Ironically, however, neither Party fully represents the majority of the People and neither party ever will represent the majority of Americans.

Thus, the people - the voters - have bounced like a ping-pong ball back-and-forth between the Democrats and Republicans, disappointment after disappointment.

Isn't it time to break out of this rut? To try something different? That's the point of the 2008 Vote Against Incumbents Campaign.

For decades incumbency has been like a plague in Congress. Why not challenge this status quo and vote out not just a few incumbents, but ALL incumbents?

Really, could Congress get much worse than an 11 percent approval rating?
