Yes, I did. I vote libertarian.
This whole "my team vrs your team" crap just lets the whole government keep on growing and growing while everyone blindly cheers for their own "team" while ignoring all of the terrible things that are happening.

This is a direct result of Obama knowing nothing will result in trying to work with the Republicans and doing what he decided to do. It's bad that the president did this, but it's even worse that it's simply a waste of an effort to even try to get the Republicans in Congress to work together and come up with something reasonable.
It's not the Presidents office that is at fault here. It's the fact Congress has been useless for the last 4+ years.

The rest of your comments regarding congress are just the same old party line politics. The Democrats who run the Senate have blocked every Republican bill from the house, (but without anyone seeming to pay any attention). The point is that congress is SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENTS. If the people that vote in a republican, or democrat, or whatever, then they are not supposed to "go along to get along", they are supposed to represent the wishes of those that voted for them. That goes both ways. If that means that nothing gets done, then THAT'S GOOD. The fact is that if the nation is so divided on an issue that it can't pass their elected reps, then it should not be passed, and life should just go on without that particular law. Only if the country is truly altogether on something, should anything be done by the government. Frankly the government doing nothing is doing the least damage.
