I mean, people on the Left complained about the Master/Slave nomenclature of computer hard drives, fer chreest's sake!!.. People are STILL whining about the Washington Redskins which is utterly ridiculous.. I can't imagine why the House/Senate "Whip" has escaped such Leftist hysterical scrutiny... Anyways, I just found that amusing.. :D As to your commentary, as always, a great one. As I am always constrained to point out, I think you put too much emphasis on the inter-Party rivalries and contentiousness of the Republican Party. As history has shown us, inter-Party fights can be downright nasty and brutal, yet the Party in question comes out of it on top.. The 2008 Democrat Primary is a perfect example... The Dem Party going at it worse than cats and dogs and things worked out OK for them.. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the country, but that is not the point here.. Long story short (too late :D) I don't think the rivalries are going to be as damaging to the Republican Party as ya'all are hoping... Democrats are still not going to get the House. Democrats are still going to lose the Senate. At most, all we are seeing here is a little sideshow entertainment for the Left Wing...
