By "getting things done" you mean caving into the Obama agenda right? That is all the house has been good for since Boehner took over. The founders wrote the Constitution so that the House and Senate were the preeminent branches of government and not the executive branch. That is why all laws are supposed to begin in the house and senate, not the White House. You're not a very good American if you don't understand that. The government was designed for pushback and not a clear path. The house pushes against the senate, the legislative pushes against the executive, the judicial pushes against the executive and the legislative, and the voters push against the elected. Those patriots who you call whackjobs (is that the correct spelling?) understand this and you don't. Where does that put you Timmie?

Or, shutting the government down over funding PP. Right? Let's pursue goals that have zero chance of success in order to flip the bird at POTUS.
You try to lecture me about the Constitution and checks and balances and yet you support an agenda that obviously has no understanding of how it works. Bi-partisanship is what gets the work done for the good of the people. Otherwise, nothing gets done. And, that's where your agenda is leading us.
You're an idiot...as usual.
