BTW, LH.... I don't know if you are familiar with the American Enterprise Institute but it is a Republican think tank... One of its members, Thomas E. Mann joined up with a meber from the Brookings Institute, a Dem leaning think tank, Norman Ornstein and together thay examined the things I have just posted and wrote a book entitled, "It's Even Worse than it Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism"...

Together theywrote an op-ed that appeared in the April 27th edition of the 'Washington Post" entitled, "Lets jst say it: the Republicans are the problem"...

Everything I have pointed out, including your parroting of Republican talking points is not out of my imagination... It is founded in truth... No not the truths of 1996 or 2000 but today's truthts... Maybe you need to read more and type less... No offense but it seems that you are not up to speed or paying attention...
