As I am not the only one to comment on this, I would recommend that you ask yourself why it is that several members here are saying the same thing along these lines. Second, there is no "civil war" or anything of the kind between the two parties. That is absolute humbug. The two major parties have contested and tussled with one another for literally hunderds of years (well, the Democrates have, the Republicans came later). I am sorry, but I just do not see anything that I would call outside of the normal contest for power. What I do see is a Republican Party in total disarray, struggling to find it's roots, and being really, really scared of what is going to happen when the Democrats not only sweep the Presidency, but also majorities in both the House and the Senate, especially after the Bush years. What I see, is a very dissatisfied far right, that seems to be trying to alienate the rest of the US by insisting that only "they" are "real" Americans. Which is absolute rubbish, obviously. This "us vs them" mentality they have been fostering has grown much stronger in recent months, as Obama&Democrats have proved not only resistant to the normal Republican onslaught of Mudslinging, etc, but have surged ahead of McCain in the Polls. It is called despair, I believe. I distinctly remember one outraged, frightened, and confused Republican at a McCain rally that mewed "How can this be?" in an agonized, disbelieving tone. In fact, I think it actually made it onto YouTube, come to think of it. The fact is, that we are ALL Americans (in that, I mean the citizens of America - not meaning to offend the rest of the world here ;) ). There is no one group that are "real" Americans, other than perhaps the Native Americans, the original inhabitants of the Continent. Divide and Conquer is an old strategy - but this time it is not working.
