The difference is in the way each group markets its policies; the Dems generally favor government solutions and programs to solve problems (Govt should take more of our money and knows how to handle fix things). Republicans say they favor smaller government with people responsible and in control of their lives. The Republican message fits hand-in-hand with labeling the Dems elitist. Have the Republicans shrunk government in the last 8 years.....we all know the answer is no.

I would like to see Term Limits in place for the Senate and Congress, maybe a regular turn-over would force some positive changes (yes, I'm know, I'm a cautous optimist).
We really have term limits as we can vote them out of office at anytime. The problem as I see it is its become a career for too many and they have way to many perks. Maybe term limits of maybe two terms max and a set benefits package which increases if they serve two terms.
