Reply #3: one thing about the Repubs...

[McKenzie]

from my partial, and relatively ignorant, perspective of how they behave - it seems they all know which way to face. Maybe it's that single-minded devotion to their (misguided) cause that gives ordinary Americans confidence. Something similar was at work when Margaret Thatcher was at the height of her foul reign in the 1980's; she got support because she offered certainty, even though her policies were bloody awful. Now that the UK Conservatives are busy kicking the shit out of one another they have slipped to third place in the party rankings.

Maybe there's a lesson to be learned from history after all. Unite people is my humble advice.
