    Did we? Our politicans used to have duels. 
    A Rep Congressman was nearly beaten to beat with a cane by a Dem because the Republican dared to oppose slavery in the 1800s.

    Ahhhh, yes.
    We need to bring legal dueling back to Congress.
    It could even be televised as a pay-per-view event.

    You ARE A REACTIONARY aren't you m2c? Your words state that more clearly than anything you've ever said. I had in mind going back to President Ronald Reagan and Dem Tip O'Neil. You want to go back CENTURIES. There ya have it. You REACTIONAIRES are all alike. Thank you for your reply. Your good old days are way way way way way way way way way way way way older than mine.

    You think they got along in the 1980s?   I am not old enough to remember how the Dems and Reagan interacted.  I was in first grade when Reagan was elected.  But I do remember the news making fun of Reagan. Implying he was not very smart economically. Calling it Reaganomics. Sounds same ole same ole crap to me.
