Partisanship in the US government

There is much partisanship in our US government. No members of the two political parties will admit partisan ship to their party, but it is obvious due to the fact that great ideas have been proposed on how to fix our economy. President Obama proposed a few good ideas and bills to fix our economy yet as soon as they hit the Republican controlled Congress his ideas are shot down, and because of this nothing has been done to fix our economy. The Tea party has caught a lot of fire from both the democrats and republicans simply because they are a young and rapidly growing political party. I think the two big parties are afraid due to the idea that they may not make it into office again in the next election. Some other decisions aren't based on just political parties but also religion. The idea of "separation of church and state" is not present in our government today. The refusal to allow mosques to be built in New York and other places evidence of a violation to separation of church and state. I say this because certain officials in the local government are denying Muslims a place to worship simply because it is an Islamic Mosque. In doing they they are being unconstitutional in violating the second amendment of the constitution. There is a lot of partisanship in US politics.
