uncrompromising schism???? This is not the 1917 Russian revolution..
Except for a couple of social issues (abortion, death penalty, same-sex unions), there is actually little real difference between the Republicans and Democrats from what I can see. Both believe in free entrerprise, the US constitution, the american way of life, America's role in the world, etc.
The difference are more a question of degree: more or less government regulations, more or less spending, higher or lower taxes, etc.
Even the new so-called Obama Health Care Plan which is branded as Socialist by many here is very underwhelming and conservative to the ROW. It is still run 100% by the private sector who will reap all the profits.
