If you’ve wondered why nothing gets accomplished in Washington anymore, just peruse the Jan. 28 Sunday Tribune. On Page A3 is an article in which our Sen. Mike Lee vows to oppose any federal and judicial appointments by President Barack Obama! ("Obama takes aim at Lee in nominee fight, Tribune, Jan. 29)

This surely doesn’t sound like democracy at work to me. In my 64 years of experience, compromise is always part of the bigger picture.

If we really want things in Washington to work again, we all need to pay much more attention. Does voting for and sending to Washington a tea party fool like Lee really make any sense?
