We're all tired of a Washington that has these partisan camps where nothing gets done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What strikes me when I leave Washington is the extent to which there's a huge disconnect between Washington and the rest of the country. The rest of the country is not hyper partisan.
The American people are tired of the out-of-control spending, and they want Washington to get their act in order and stop spending money we don't have.
Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done.
If Democrats in Washington haven't got enough sense to own the issue of political reform, I give up on them entirely.
One of the reasons Americans hold Washington in such low regard is the perception that nothing ever gets done. Whatever the issue - no matter how urgent - they always seem to be 'working on it.'
There is a battle to be waged over what kind of country we are going to leave our children and grandchildren and that battle is happening now in Washington, not two years from now.
While we face economic obstacles that challenge every decision made in Washington, decisions made merely for political gain must stop. It's time to restore civility in Congress. It's time for action where action is needed - all politics aside.
Washington has been ignoring this issue for too long.
Washington is horribly broken. We are encountering a day of reckoning and this movement, this Tea Party movement, is a message to Washington that we're unhappy and that we want things done differently.
Voters seem to understand what a big waste of time trying to change Washington is.
