It works but it is again conditional and not emphatic. But it apparently requires a facile mind to get the distinction. So don't give it another minute of thought.

It is off-topic and I am not a native speaker, but I always thought "tend" is a bit stronger than "be inclined to", thus expressing the standard behavior or attitude over a longer period of time, whereas inclined applies more to a specific situation Just wondering...

Forget the fact that the government doesn't actually help, educate, or improve any of the demographics that they supposedly champion. It just doesn't happen. But that is the modern day left wing.

We can never expect a unified country ever again. The future now looks very very bleak for this country.
It didn't work for Romney, although he said arguably the most divisive comments ever

The house as the support of THEIR constituents. The people that elect them to office. They represent the people in THEIR district. It's the job of the Senate to look at the big picture, it's the house that looks at what is best for their district.

That was the point the voters sent yesterday. Americans do not want the divisions to remain, period. They will not allow the obstructionism to continue. If the lame duck session does not address the fiscal cliff we are all approaching at full speed, there will be Republican hell to pay in 2014. The Republicans will return to another 40 years as a minority party.

Divide and conquer was not the plan for either party. Snap out of it! The Republican surety that ANYBODY BUT OBAMA was their downfall. The conservative social issues all came a cropper last night, but they only widened the defeat. The voters want compromise and moderation, not extremism now.

The Republican Congressmen have been given one last chance. They had better use it wisely this time- there won't be another.

Again, who gave them their one last chance? You didn't vote for a congressman from any other district other than your own. So unless the voters in each district decide that they are unhappy with THEIR congressman, nothing is going to change.
