I visited the site above and feel that I am not politically educated enough to respond thouroughly to this blog, but I thought it carried an interesting topic of "divided government". From reading the blog, I was given the impression that the Republicans are afraid to lose the majority in congress as well as the presidency. Even though the last time Democrats had a "filibuster-proof majority" was thrity years ago, it seems that certain Republican party members are weary to give the other party a chance. Power sinks deep into the pockets of politicians and it is a hard thing to give up, but the idea of divide seems unhealthy for America. The Republican party being in majority for so many decades does seem a bit suspiscious in that this makes the party seem power/money hungry and fills them with fear in losing this position. Our system was created to give everyone who is eligible a voice. It does not mean that the voice will win but at least it is heard. Division is not the answer in these tough times. We must pull together and trust each other instead of dividing for gaining power. After being apart of this current ecomonic depression, I say, what's wrong with change?

You know what would be great, if Congress was divided 50/50. Then both sides would have to work together for the good of the people (us) instead of the good of their own party, maybe then they'd stop attaching special interest to all the bills that need passed!
