[QUOTE="jayem, post: 68682509, member: 8344"] Like many of our founding fathers, I despise political parties. In the last 20 years, the Democratic and Republican parties have become dominated by their more extreme elements. It's worse in the GOP, where the Tea Party fringe has become the tail that wags the dog. When the parties are driven by ideological zealots, they are unable to compromise with each other. Our government was designed to require compromise in order to work, and is paralyzed by intense partisanship. As John Adams said: [B]There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution[/B].
