JR,
Man, is that the truth. The funny thing is that it has always been so. American politicians, at least, have never been very civil towards each other. Fist fights in congress, criticizing ex-presidents [actually fairly common. Despite recent popular commentary to the contrary], name-calling, dirty tricks, silly impeachment proceedings, slander. Man, politics is an ugly business.
Despite my low opinion of party politics, it may very well be a necessary part of the political process.
