The dictionary defines it as "divisiveness". It's kind of unusual at my age
to see a word for the first time!
I've been baffled by the Democrats since 9/11 -- at first they seemed like
sheep, blinded...and since then they've made some attempt to rouse and speak
against what they believe is wrong; but they do not, have not, put forward any
better notions, any agenda, they have not in any way been proactive (I hate
that buzz-word-used-to-be, but it's the only thing that suffices here).
There's a profound lack of a powerful leader in the party. It saddens me.

An interesting article, Julie. Fissiparous means reproducing by fission,
dividing into two equal parts, each of which is capable of independent growth,
but I donât know what the author means by the term.
I have heard others describe the Democratic Party in similar terms to those
in the article. Democrats know what they are against, i.e., anything that
Bush is for, but they donât know what they are for, or they donât know in
any
terms that are going to get their candidate elected.

A sometimes odd and skewed, occasionally incisive, and pretty amusing piece.
I do love the take on the U.S. by the British media .... the bumper
sticker quotes are worth a laugh at least -- I've not seen some of them.
(Who knows the word "fissiparous"? I've never even seen it before!)

obviously vocabulary deficient
