Dems vs Reps: a replay of the Americans vs the British?

Somewhere back in history class, we were told that the main reason the Americans won the Revolution was their style of fighting. The British fought the battles the old European way, with ranks of soldiers lined up firing at each other. The Americans, however were fighting guerrila-style. The Americans won.

This is what I'm seeing in Congress: the Dems are being prim and proper and the Reps are kicking their asses. Might be time to go back to the history books.
