@McGentrix,
That's because Democrats put country first and work with the President on most things. Republicans are power hungry ideologues who are out to maximize their power at the expense of the country.
Case in point was taking the holding off raising the debt ceiling. If that had not been raised before the deadline, the US defaults on its debt. Since the stability of US securities largely depends on the fact that the US ALWAYS makes the payment, that would have shot the US financial position right there, with massively negative repurcussions on the economy. The Republicans not only took it down to the wire, they BRAGGED in front of the world that they were not afraid of default.
The default was headed off at the last moment, but not without real damage being done to the reputation of America as THE safe place for the world's investors to put their money. Totally irresponsible by the Republicans, and they ended up doing damage anyway.
