They both seem to like playing games once they get to Washington. Sequesters, filibusters, continuing resolutions, omnibus bills, etc. Anything not to do what they were elected to do.
Other than the obvious love of country and the safety of US citizens, what do both sides have in common?
Depends on which GOP you're talking about. If you mean the mainstream republican party, then they and the Democrats can agree the conservative wing of the republican party has created a Frankenstein monster in the right wing tea party Republican faction. They have completely overrun the GOP and have an agenda of hate, paranoia and total destruction of the American political system put in place by our founding fathers. They have also brought all the half brained,certified, monomaniacal crazies to the fore of the political process. A disaster that will take decades to repair.
(However, I think the Republicans want the economy to be good so that there can be higher dividends for the stockholders, and the Democrats want it to be good so that there can be higher paychecks for the workers.)
Political elites of both parties agree completely that the electorate is stupid and incapable of thinking for themselves as long as they can be pitted against one another over inconsequential issues. And big corporations are evil (when speechifying to the masses) and essential to any winning campaign.

In other words, there are "business as usual" Republicans that will agree with most of the DNC to an always increasing debt, corporate cronyism, open borders, expansion of bureaucracy and a lack of accountability, and then there is the evil TEA Party conservatives who'd like to see that change.
If you like more debt, a smaller employment participation rate and more companies moving overseas, you should jump on the "business as usual" bandwagon and oppose those evil people who want change.
