I don't hate them or anything i just think that government works best when both parties have some power. In my lifetime I think the Government was working best during Reagans and Clintons presidencies and were at its worst during Obamas and Bush II's.When one party controls everything it seems like its most corrupt and usually the other party sells its soul to the Devil to get back in power.
