Republicans Need to Win Control of One House Only: As We’ve Already Seen, One-Party Rule Doesn’t Work

People are very upset about Congress and the President ramrodding their very bad health care through, and how it was done.

It’s another example of what happens when one party-rule takes hold in Washington.  The Republicans blew it when they were in total control, and the Democrats are blowing it right now with their grip on power slowly bleeding away.

In the November elections, I’m hoping that the Democrats and the Republicans have majorities in one house each.  Neither political party can be trusted with total control.   They enact really stupid legislation, abuse the system and abuse the trust of the American people.

This is another reason to enact term limits.  Total turnover in Washington would flush out the system, and restore some credibility to the federal government that has been missing since 1994.  And while I cheered the results of that election and enjoyed watching the Democrats react to their massive losses, in hindsight, it would have been better if the Republicans had won a majority in one house.

But the current balance of power in Congress needs to change, to keep more of the Socialist agenda at bay.  As it is, it’s going to take years to overcome the damage that Obama, Pelosi and Reed have inflicted on our national interests.
