Politics are synonymous with disagreement...interparty clashes of ideals are not uncommon.

Very true, Heralder. The Dems had something similar after the political disasters against Reagan and Bush Sr's first election. The result was a move to the center and the Democratic Leadership Council's ascendancy which gave us Bill Clinton. And just like the Dems had drifted way too far left, I think the Pubs have moved too far right and would be well-served to heed the moderates in their ranks.

Yes,
I think the day people stop arguing and debating in Washington, we're screwed.

I'm hoping that we are able to find a way to get past all of the hyper-political nonsense that has plagued our system for the last 6 years or so. It's insane, and I'm hoping that Democrats AND Republicans in 2008 are able to create some kind of constructive dialogue so we can deal with this mess that we're in.

Ryan, the only way that will happen is if the voters start to reject the attack ads. If you'd like some good news on that front, Baron Hill was the subject of absolutely POISONOUS ads by Mike Soddrell in the congressional elections here last year and Hill won anyway. Maybe it's just a Hoosier thing, but hearing the same vicious ad three times every half-hour just gets to you, and what was a close race widened as the campaign got uglier. Nothing would make me happier than to see that trend go nationwide.
