Oh lord yes. It's nothing now compared to the 1850's/1860's.I was young but my recollection was many Democrats hated Reagan. Not sure how that doesn't qualify as being split. I just finished reading Robert Caro's forth book on LBJ and it spoke of the Democratic controlled Congress in the early '60's under JFK and LBJ and how split that was and how difficult it was to get things done. You are just making excuses. This country has been plenty divided in its past.
BTW, when you coming to Columbus and standing me a beer? I could use a good excuse to visit the Elevator Brewing company.
