16. Nothing wrong with an agenda supported by those your supposed to represent
I never had a real problem with Nancy when she was representing her constituents, that's what she is supposed to do. Many of the people she represents are on the more radical side of the spectrum, like some places in Texas. However as she took the position of Speaker of the House she needed to leave behind her hard line support for only the viewpoints from her constituents. She needed to lead the house towards real reform that would improve our lives.

You seem to think that I have little understanding of how our government works. I understand how it works, and I understand how it was meant to work. Currently our government works for the two parties, and their power and control is at the root of almost every problem we have. Nancy Pelosi has done everything she can to ensure that this two party war continues. My preference would not be to just add another party, my preference would be to seriously curtain the amount of power the two current parties have.
