"Unfortunately, in the past, we have been a reactionary country, resulting in political shifts back and forth from left to right without a lot of forward progress. After attaining power, both sides act in ways that are less than honorable, but they justify their actions by citing similar transgressions performed by the other side".

I would like an example, in the last 50 years, of Republicans sticking it to Democrats once they regained power. I believe quite the opposite of the stated theory. I suspect the primary reason Democrats are being so fearless in their attacks is because they have learned that there will not be reprisals from establishment Republicans.

This whole article reads like someone is trying really hard to appear "non-biased" and "independent" when in the immortal words of Ice-T/Body Count "Sh*t ain't like that". We need to learn that Democrats are playing hard ball. Establishment republicans are playing whiffle ball when they can be bothered to even take the field.

Would your party stick it to the rats? You know talk is cheap. Action is something completely different
