Great article. "When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country's challenges."
From the article:
Translation... if we had a MORE democratic Senate, a handful of far Right psychopaths could not hold the nation hostage.
At SOME point Dems have to realize that it's the anti-democratic elements of our federal system that gives the Right power it might never hold in a democracy. The Right got it's foot in the door when the EC threw the election to Bush, a canidate REJECTED by the People and they built upon that power ever since.
