Merc...what you characterize as "turning on each other" I would characterize as a diversity of opinion, with a shared foundation. That is why the Democrats have become the "big tent" party and the Republicans are mired in a rigid and narrow ideology. With that big tent comes challenges as well as opportunities.
IMO, that always provides a better and more comprehensive review and discussion of policy options than a party that is so ideologically driven that expressing a diverging opinion makes you an outcast in your own party.
I think the American people will benefit from the outcome of the Democratic proposals, even if what results is not a perfect bill and from what I have been reading lately (as opposed to earlier in the national debate), more and more Americans agree.
As I said, in the end, time will tell....but debating it with you is a waste of time.
But I will continue to point out when you post one of your partisan editorials as "evidence" of anything
