very true. post war congressman during that time tried to work together. But over last 20 to 30 years it been mostly politcs rather then getting things done for american people from either side.sadly the dems and gop have not really bothered working together in congress for many years now. why little has got done.It took our GOP from 1994 to 2006, with help from Dem allies, to reinfect us.
There is accurate history, and then their is homer history right and left.
That is because politics has taken the place of Statesmanship.
