If you go to Washington, it takes time to figure how to write bills, get support, get them through congress. If you continually cycle through people in government, it will get worse. The bigger problem is that the civility that we saw maybe 20 years ago has deteriorated. Although there was certainly partisanship then, it was nothing like today.

If I were to suggest an answer, it would target extremists in both parties and send a message that it won't be tolerated.

Agreed. And if we kick out the incumbents then our government is run by the entrenched bureaucrats. The T-party emerged because reasonable people are fed up with the pettiness and silly rules that congress chooses to use and operate.
