The stalemate and inability or unwillingness of many of the members of Congress to engage one another civilly and intelligently and the obvious motive of most of them to do whatever necessary in order to stay in office has driven the general citizenry to throw up their hands. It's time that the members of Congress were made to play by the same rules they dole out to the rest of us.
