The majority who vote in closed primaries are hardcore partisans, resulting in nominees that are polar-opposites and with one gets elected to the political office, gridlock is the result.

"Learned Helplessness", the Self-Inflicted Cause of the Democratic Party's Potential Demise Just as at the turn of the twentieth century, U.S. voters are disenchanted with both political parties as indicated by April 2014 Rasmussen Reports poll which found that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is fair to say that neither party in Congress is the party of the American people This explains why the 2014 mid-term voter turnout percentage of eligible voters was a 72 year low ("learned helplessness" in action).

Why The President's Trade Agenda is a Cup Two-Thirds Empty, At Best! Since the current global conflict is a Jobs War, The President's Trade Agenda is a disaster waiting to happen. It fails to address the lion's share of our trade challenge, imports and it supports the Investor-State Dispute Settlement mechanism which lowers the risk to corporations exporting jobs. Tell your Senators and Representative to support the Americans in the jobs war, by vote against the trade agenda, later this year. |
