But you can not run long-term projects if after every election newly elected politicians have the opportunity to reverse track, stall and extort.

But I think that's rather the point, as far as reactionaries like the Tea Partiers, and radical GOP are concerned. By disrupting the ability of government to function in any kind of medium- or long-term strategic way, you vindicate your core philosophy: government doesn't work.

As PJ O'Rourke once said "Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it."
