Gridlock is not caused by any one party. The House sent many bills to the Senate who killed them on arrival. The Senate on the other hand sent many bills to the House which were killed on arrival.

The problem here is that neither party wanted to be the one to make the hard decisions to make SIGNIFICANT spending cuts and to get rid of many of the tax loopholes and subsidies. Instead they both want to posture and pretend its all the other parties fault. Neither wanted to give the other party a 'victory' which is what leads us down the road to where we are.
