Most apps are not dependent on the updated android OS version so it's less of an issue. I had a windows 5 phone bought when windows 6 phones were already out. Shame on me for not doing my homework, but almost every app I was interested in required (not preferred) Windows 6.

I think you might be overestimating the minimum intelligence of right wingers.

3. A right wing supporter of Scalise, who should (but still doesn't) know the result will be #1.

I think #1 and #3 are both pretty likely.

You would. A lot of closed minded people view people with opposite viewpoints as less intelligent.

"Successive budget cuts by Congress are forcing the Internal Revenue Service to delay system modernization that would improve its ability to prevent fraud."
  One suspects that might have been the point.

This is crap. They are picking where to spend their money. This just shows that this is less important to the IRS than other areas.

See - that's the problem. You view Obama as a moderate conservative. Most conservatives would view him as an extreme liberal and it scares them (and me) to think that you want someone more extreme than Obama.

The tea party has shown that this is not just angry old white men. My black wife was more conservative than I am and you can see other races moving up in the party and deciding to just think shrug off all the people that will call them sellouts for not subscribing to the groupthink that all minorities must be democrat.

I think basically both sides feel this way.

Obama is out of sync with the rest of America so we want the Republican Congress to note no on a lot of stupid bills becoming law.

"The Republicans are (out-of sync) with the rest of America, the veto pen will be needed to stop a lot of stupid bills from becoming law."

What's happening is the Conservatives are becoming more Conservative and the Liberals are becoming more liberal. There is a whole lot less in-between than their used to be.

Before, during Kennedy's and Reagan's time, we at least had a common enemy (Soviets) which help bridge some divides. Now we don't have that. Instead, the enemy is the opposite side of the aisle.
