There is no doubt on any side that the Federal Government is broken.

When congress spends most of the year on steroids in baseball, instead of tackling real problems that face our nation. I am not saying Steroids is not a problem, but it belongs in the MLB headquarters, not congress.

The economy is hurting because of oil prices and the food prices are skyrocketing because some lunkheads think the alcohol from corn is going to solve out energy and environmental problems.

Unchecked immigration is another major problem that no one want to address.

NAFTA has been a disaster.

We have been sold a bill of goods by both sides. This is a partisan problem.

American can't break as it is flexible and changes with the times.

We elect people to do the job but they don't. And this time around I believe both sides got the message

Answer 12

Short answer - the political system.  The two party system and the primary system allow the extremes in each party to determine the party's nominee.  While most of us are in the middle and can consider parts of each side to be correct, we are faced with candidates that are not necessarily like us.  

Furthermore, how can a country that claims to be "THE FREE NATION" continue to deny 600,000 citizens the right to representation.  There are 600,000 people living in DC that are not allowed to have voting representation in congress.  Our city funding is hurt, or ability to make our own choices is hurt, our pride is hurt.  There is no difference between DC's citizens today and American colonists in 1760.  We are left outside the fold because of party strife.  DC is liberal, much like most other cities in the country, and therefore Republicans will not allow us a vote because we would likely vote for a Democrat.
