see
it wasnt that long ago that if a party won the whitehouse then the senate and house would give the man some rope as ordered by the american people
in 80 reagan cleaned carters clock taking 49-50 if im not mistaken
the speaker then was tip oneil from cambridge and he had been in the house for 100 years
he and reagan,complete polar opposites politcally,became great friends and as it went congress passed reagans defense spending bills as well as cutting taxes big time.
the senate may have been in GOP hands for a couple of reagans years but the dems owned the house till 00 i think?

it was civility and the politicians had american interests at heart by being bipartisan when it mattered.
theres a reason orin hatch and ted kennedy are close friends and it isnt due to their social habits.
time to bury the hatchets and get down to getting this nation headed right again
