The coming big paralysis

If the polls that are coming out are true and reflective of the feelings of the American public then come November this year, we would see a paralysis in Washington which would not be pretty and it could last as long as the next Presidential election. Since the Republican Party seems poised to win big in both the house and the senate elections expect them to block almost every initiative the President throws at them and if the congress pass any bill that the President has opposed there would be threats of veto and a gridlock.

So although the Republican Party (and by its extension the tea party) may glow in the victorious glory that they will do this and do that and would restore the small government and a “sense” to the government in Washington. It will be more of the same as the big agenda of the Republican Party will clash with the Washington realities and then nothing will seem to happen until the next Presidential election. This may be because of the different priorities of the two parties and even now when the democrats are in control of both the houses of congress and the Executive branch, they are having a hard time trying to have a bipartisan support; you can just imagine how the Republican Party will fare in such a scenario.
