[quote=Anonymous]I would say Newt Gingrich 'started" it, but frankly, the era before Newt was the shifting of the parties as a result of the Southern Strategy, which saw racist southern white move from the Dems to the GOP. So the period of the 1970's and 1980's saw racist whites in both parties and hence a lot of compromise between parties on legislation. Once the shift was largely complete, it was concurrent with the development of Fox News and the emergence of Rush Limbaugh (1980's to 2010's) and later MSNBC as more partisan media outlets.[/quote]
