It started getting bad with Reagan, but they are becoming an evermore-irritating pustule on the body politic.

We need (to) break the gridlock in Washington. Enough is enough. A change to the rules regarding presidential nominees will apply equally to both parties. When Republicans are in power, these changes will apply to them as well. Thats simple fairness.
This still does no end the House obstructing progress. 2014 is no less a priority, but now obstruction will be focused on the House Republicans before election with issues like the minimum wage.
