The ever-prescient Alexis de Tocqueville predicting one way that party politics in America might crumble.

In other words, when political parties start arguing for their supremacy based on the opposing parties faults trouble is near. Oh wait, we are already there. How many times have you heard someone say, “Yeah, Obama isn’t great, but I really don’t like Romney. Obama is the lesser of two evils!”?
