A widely accepted definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Political polarization has never worked at any time in world history.When the political process becomes polarized, gridlock results and the legislative process becomes stagnant and ineffective. Differences as to methods, policies, priorities and procedural implementation are acceptable among any sane and rational group of people.
However, when differences in the essential elements of the legislative process paralyzes, inhibits or prohibits government to act in the best interest of it's citizens, then those elected representatives are no longer acting with reason or rationality. Whenever elected representatives can not compromise or engage in open and honest debate concerning the needs of a nation, these people are exhibiting characteristics of mental illness, not mental fitness.
If an individual or a group of individuals put politics above citizenship or their personal interest above the national interest, we are looking at people that are not fit to hold public office. These people should be voted out of office or thrown out of office at the earliest opportunity.
