YES ....when Special Interest Groups donate money to both sides of the aisle...Special Interest Groups win no matter which side is elected. When considring these groups one really has to look at the amount of money it takes to win a campaign...Corzine spent 60M of his own spendable for his Senate seat in NJ. Also it has become increasingly tough to dislodge an incumbent. from office.
Consider that to the Civil Service eg Governmental employees....an Elected Offical is but a TEMPORARY occupant of the seat he sits in. It is the Civil Service that writes the specifications of the laws Congress passes. It is very difficult to get this entrenched Bureaucracy to change it's SOP.
Now whats left is exactly who gets to feed at the trough...and who gets to set the agenda as to the tunes we get to listen to....
Now U notice...Gun Control was a Hot Topic...Clinton did get a AWB that the manufacturers went around pretty quickly...but the topic has become such a hot potatoe that no Liberal Politican wants to touch it. End result no real change and the law has expired...
Abortion...The govenment is controled both in the Congress and Executive Branch by an Anti Abortion Party...(the Supream's while having an anti- Abortion bias has supported Rowe vs Wade) Yet the Abortion is still legal..
