...with one of our political parties.
From DecodeDC:
Seabrooke doesn't come straight out and say it, but it's there. Republicans - or at least a very powerful subset of the Repubs - are at the root of our problems right now.
And the best take-away for me is what Ornstein says at the end about how it's really up to us as individuals to stop bunkering ourselves, and start figuring out how to reach compromise with each other - one citizen to another - and try to pass that on up to our Reps in Congress (wtf - self-government? now there's a thought). Easier said than done of course; especially when your 'debate partner' says practically nothing but the crap he hears on Beck or Limbaugh every day, but Ornstein's a Senior Fellow at AEI, which makes him pretty seriously Republican; and he's been saying for a while now that the GOP's kinda fucked up.
So I guess we just keep pluggin' away; trying to isolate the more radical ones, and give the system a chance to work a little self-correction magic. Here's hoping.
