If They Support it, We Oppose it.

Why does it seem like sometimes the opposition party gets so wrapped up in opposing the other party's ideas that their only purpose is to delay, obstruct and get in the way of an idea?

Okay, so some of the good ideas cost money. Some raise taxes. That is understood. So why does the majority push through ideas that have not been vetted simply because they have the votes to do so?

What if...both parties just cooperated with each other for the public good instead of being so damn partisan simply because that is all that we know in Pennsylvania. We cannot govern by suggesting that all their ideas are bad and all our ideas are good. The craving for the power of the majority finally regained corrupts the agendas of those who regain it. The majority that regains power is simply reminded of what it is like to be back in power and they forget how it feels to be in the minority. Someone has to make the first move toward a compromise, offer something of value to the other side, something they have fought for and that was fought against. Otherwise, it's back to the gamesmanship that defines this state as possibly the most partisan in the nation.
