The voters wanted to stop both parties from doing much so they elected a divided government. People in the center have this misconception that just because a policy is moderate or bipartisan, it can't be awful. It can, and being bipartisan often makes it worse, because it's more likely to pass. Voters also have limited tools to stop this - who do you vote for to stop centrist policies? Well, they found an answer to that in 2016 but before that, the best they could do was divided government. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:922818573] in Politics C...
