In the 2010 election all most moderates were voted out of office. Moderate Democrats known ad Blue Dogs were trounced and replaced by Tea Party Republicans. And Moderate Repu8blicans like Mike Castle were also tossed out on their ear. So what you have left is a group of people on the right and on the left who will not compromise.
Right now compromise it the dirtiest word in Washington. And so the government that is based on making deals is broken down.
Our Constitution is based on the idea of two sides working things out - Democrats versus Republicans, East versus South, the Senate versus the House, Conservatives versus Liberals, States versus the Federal Governemnt, the list is endless.
Remember when you go to the polls in 2012 that we need moderates back in office - or nothing will get done.
