Congress seems to have a great fascination with and derive a great deal of pleasure from which political party has the majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate. It seems to be one of their major activities and their favorite pastime. They are very vicious about it also. When the majority changes from one party to another, the party now in the majority takes every opportunity to punish the other party. And if the new majority party is a different party from that of the President, they punish the President too. Often times is appears that the punishment takes the form of arbitrarily blocking a piece of legislation just for spite, regardless of whether the legislation would be beneficial or not.
I believe and I think there are a large number of other Americans who believe that this game of Democrats vs. Republicans is ridiculous and harmful. It certainly makes Congress look like a bunch of idiots, but it also makes it look as if our representatives in Congress don't have minds of their own and that all Democrats (or Republicans) think and believe alike. I, for one, don't care about Democrats or Republicans and who has the majority in Congress. I want my representatives to act according to their own minds and beliefs and not according to what a political party believes. I also don't believe that any one person is all Democrat or all Republican or all liberal or all conservative. I think people are liberal (Democrat) about some issues and conservative (Republican) about others.
Therefore, if you believe the game of Democrats vs. Republicans is ridiculous and harmful to both Congress and the country, you need to let your representatives know that you want them to stop and that you want them to act as individuals who have been elected by their constituents to keep our country strong and prosperous and to do their best to make it even better.
