I have to disagree. True there has been contentiousness and disagreement since the beginning of the nation, but the vitriol has taken on a new level of ugliness in the last 10 years or so. Representatives of either party are unable to think, speak, and act with an independent voice for fear of being ostracized by their party leaders and voted out by the electorate. The result is a government that can hardly get anything done for the good of the people, and instead simply exists to be re-elected. A pox on both thier houses.
