Private sector labors unions continue to suffer losses in their membership while public sector and service unions grow.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) I don’t believe in a golden mean; I don’t believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don’t dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that’s so ideologically based, that’s so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it’s frankly hard to take seriously.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) You ask what is the use of classification, arrangement, and systemization? I answer you: order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject - the actual enemy is the unknown.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Partisanship particularly increased after the 1994 elections and then the appearance of the first unified Republican government since the 1950s.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) The country has sorted itself ideologically into the two political parties, and those partisan attachments have hardened in recent years. It will take an extraordinary event and act of leadership to break this partisan divide. I thought 9/11 might provide such an opportunity, but it was not seized.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Party and ideology routinely trump institutional interests and responsibilities. Regular order - the set of rules, norms and traditions designed to ensure a fair and transparent process - was the first casualty. The results: No serious deliberation. No meaningful oversight of the executive. A culture of corruption.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Incumbency adds a layer of advantage on top of this party dominance. But rather than foster an environment in which members of Congress feel free to buck popular sentiment and wrestle seriously with the problems confronting the country, it reinforces the ideological divide between the parties.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Incumbents are safe, but party majorities are not. This fosters symbolic votes, message politics and little serious legislating in Congress.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) In addition to the decline in competition, American politics today is characterized by a growing ideological polarization between the two major political parties.  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) The public’s evaluation of the job George W. Bush is doing as president changed dramatically as a result of the horrific attacks of September 11 and his response in leading the country on a campaign against terrorism  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) In addition to the decline in competition, American politics today is characterized by a growing ideological polarization between the two major political parties  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) Responsibility for overseeing the implementation of election law typically resides with partisan officials, many with public stakes in the election outcome  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections  (Thomas E Mann Quotes) But presidential approval also became a surrogate measure of national unity and patriotism  (Thomas E Mann Quotes)
