While there has always been a difference between the Republicans and Democrats, it seemed that
that before the present onslaught by Tea Party Republicans there was common ground (e.g., bipartisanship.) U.S. Congress members used to brag about ‘reaching across the aisles’ and their close friends in another party. This is unfortunately gone.
The Republicans has created a situation where there is no common ground. This is very obvious in the U.S. Congress where the Republicans Party’s aim was not solving the economic, social and political problems in America, but opposing every effort by Obama to bring about change. It is also represented by the radical views of the Republican candidates for the nomination for President. However, in the same breath, one must point to the lackluster performance of the Democratic Party dominated by Blue Dog Democrats and mainline Democrats which are tied to the same corporate money and under the influence of the same special interests as the Republicans. The only bright spot is the Progressive Democrats and Republicans and the Occupy Movement. The Progressive Movement is gaining strength, but is being fought by the monies being poured into the campaigns of Republican Party candidates. The outcome is still developing and solidifying. This spring could be a very interesting one.
