Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it?

You make a good point. I was watching a Rep Strategist last night who royally peed me off. She spent more time on all the things they did wrong (and some of it wasn't actually DONE by the Reps which was weird...) than saying what could fix it. I dropped party affiliation this last election, starting with Bush's Tarp 1. This is why both parties tick me off. Either do what you say you will, or get out. And rebranding is an insult. There are good people on both sides of the aisle, let's weed them out and toss the rest.
