Why the Democrat’s can’t get things done…

So my perspective on the reason why Obama is not making major headway with the congress and why the Dems don't come together like Republicans is rather simple, but creates a complex problem, inaction. The reason in my opinion is that the Reason Republicans get their agenda's moving is that their conservative ideology is rather narrow minded. They don't look at the flaws in what their belief systems are and the hypocritical stances they take. They stand on faith rather than question anything of substance and don't waiver. For them it's easy to group on an issue and "stay the course" as they only have one direction. Democrats however, being the progressive and forever open minded are always looking for better ways to do things and develop their ideologies as more information comes in. With this they are always shifting and moving with a constant movement toward their own idea of the greater good. However, with a majority in both the house and senate of free thinkers they can't get together on something that needs to be developed into a single bill and they feel they need some republicans (who will not join because it doesn't fall into the narrow scope of dominating the government through Big Business and Religion) on board, and because they feel they need to include everyone (again too open) and as they have their own free thinking ideology they can't come together in a cohesive group to make headway. Also the fact they their four year lifespan which dictates where their focus is place on being re-elected rather than making history and making things better for the greater good.
