To use Mr. Stewart's language, the opposition party (currently the Republicans) have a stranglehold on accomplishing anything because there are no 100% solutions. We can't discuss or pass 80% solutions because ZOMG! the American people demand perfection. Not only do we demand perfection, we can't even agree what that is. Everyone gets three squares and a cot? Only deserving people are rewarded? Only God's favorites succeed? Population increases/decreases for particular groups? It doesn't matter, as long as you have nicer stuff than your neighbor?
And, actually, I think the football analogy is apt. At all cost, prevent the other side from scoring! Whether the "score" is harmful or beneficial isn't important. Just keep them at zero!
