DEFINITION

I'm starting to believe that the political word ``gridlock'' means that one party wants the other party to fail so it can say I told you so.

A democracy cannot survive and prosper without bipartisan insights from both parties. It's time for party-loyal politics to take a back seat to common-sense politics.
