Less partisan than pointedly effective

I am a progressive and I have great respect for the GOP. The nation is served best not by one party or another, but by strong, and yes sometimes heated debate that hones differing points of view into legislation that in the long run is less partisan than pointedly effective and good policy for the nation. I applaud Sen. Graham and Corker for taking a stand against the tea stranglehold on their party and stepping up to the plate, I may not always agree with them on issues, but I sincerely respect their integrity. I pray that more senators, including our own Lisa from Alaska would be able to break free and once again play their part in crafting legislation that is best for all.
