It's not really that, although certainly Obama isn't stepping up and threatening to take the 14th to break the Tea Party. What's caused this is the Republican's move to redistrict in combination with primary challenges. The redistricting created candidates only elected by their base. Thus if the new Tea Party candidates don't do exactly as they said (rather than what's good for the country), they lose in the next election. Add it up and you get gridlock. On everything. Therefore we either: (1.) Get a President (of either party) who creates a constitutional crisis which will mean the Supreme Court will be creating policy, or (2.) We redistrict immediately such that each district is made up of the broadest constituency, or (3.) We sink into a depression and lose our super-power status. In short, due to redistricting, we're in big BIG trouble. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:341327 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
