I agree. It was a squandered opportunity. I'm not sure either side of the aisle is able to get beyond partisanship to really make anything of the future. It's too bad- but both political parties pretty much suck at the far extremes, and they don't seem to be able to compromise the way they once did over the territory in the middle- and when they do compromise, it's a mess of special interest glop.

Thanks to the supreme court supporting the "freedom" of corporations to buy elections, I'd say it will be even worse in the future. Considering the founders didn't even want to give all people the right to vote, I wonder how the fools on the supreme court figured it squared with original intent to do what they did. Maybe the block of Supremes who voted for that are bought and paid for too.
