"Partisanship obscures what the extremes of both parties have in common."
That was the opening line of my op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal, John.
If you want proof of it – then look no further than the dysfunction of the Senate over what should have been business as usual for our senators.
Just one Senator has been holding up the nomination of 301 generals and admirals over the Pentagon abortion policies. On the other side, Bernie Sanders has been holding up for key public health leadership positions, impacting critical areas like cancer research.
Both sides keep holding our institutions hostage to score political points.
Both are distractions – but as a cancer survivor, I find the Left's hold on appointing Bertagnolli's nomination disgraceful.
We are making remarkable progress against the scourge of cancer. This appointment of an experienced leader should have been a cause for unity – not toxic political maneuvering.
It should shock no one as to WHY the American people have such little faith in Congress – as they continually force us to be spectators of their divisive political theater.
