While I was at the gym this evening, someone was interviewing Bill Clinton. [Let me stop here and say......what a brilliant man Clinton is. It wasn't by accident this country ran as well as it did during his tenure. I can see his value a lot more now that we are under a different president.]

At one point, the interviewer asked Clinton why he thought there was so much animosity/tension between the two parties. He had a really interested spin on the whole problem. He said he thought it started back in the 1960s during the Vietnam war. He believes that the Republicans in this country did not want to withdraw from the war [sound familiar]and they felt the liberals forced this country to pull out.

Secondly, he thinks the Nixon impeachment intensified the right's anger level, causing it to go up another notch; that they believed what Nixon did was not an impeachable offense and that the liberals pushed it just to get Nixon out of the WH. After that, the GOP was hell bent on seizing power and maintaining as much control as possible.

It all sounds pretty plausible to me.
