Any political party whose entire professed and publicly visible political agenda seeks simply to hinder or stop all of the opposition's political action has no right to lead this country.

Fortunately, the American voting majority has seen through this folly and voted their mind. This should send a message to those who seek to continue the same.

True progress, and our nation's way forward, requires political reconciliation and bipartisan work toward common goals, not blaming the other party.
