maybe there is hope

"Stepping down from the Republican leadership will liberate me to spend more time trying to work for results on issues that I care the most about," he said. "I want to do more to make the Senate a more effective place to address serious issues."

Senate Republicans let Alexander go, praising his trustworthiness, his service, even his skill at the piano. Most of all, they congratulated him for not quitting the Senate altogether. Alexander said he would seek a third term in 2014.

"I am relieved," McConnell, a friend of 40 years, told the Senate. At a closed lunch later, Alexander's GOP colleagues gave him a standing ovation, several senators said.

Alexander's position as Republican conference chairman was never a comfortable fit. He was a protégé of former Sen. Howard Baker, R-Tenn., who was known in Washington as a "great conciliator," for his ability to forge consensus — a commodity rarely seen on Capitol Hill after the tea party-fueled Republican resurgence in last year's elections.

Common sense will tell you that this gridlock is killing the economy! common sense will break the gridlock if it is allowed .
Perhaps names like Cantor,McConell an Boehner will become extinct ! If you send a man to do a job and your taxes are paying him he should vote for what the majority in his district wants! not the special interest groups! these three will tank this country and if allowed to
continue. Imagine the poor guy losing his job,his credit,his home while these traitors play games dancing on the leash of the top 5%!!
Their party has lost the wealth of the nation while snowballing the electorate!
