The Republicans are embroiled in an inter-party war between moderates and antagonists. The real issue is that the American electorate has shifted on issues of generating revenue, representation, and use of public funds.
Bachmann has some Ohio ties and Ohio Republicans are a notoriously conservative lot. All it means is that Ohio Republicans are being Ohio Republicans. As for Pawlenty.
That is the typical Republican phenomenon where the less you know about a Republican the less there is to dislike. Pawleny is new to the race, but you can count on his support dropping as the people get to know more about him. BTW, you don't have to "hold your nose" to vote for Obama.
You just have to look back to the steaming pile of cr*p the failed conservative agenda left him and compare it to what we have to day to realize that he really hasn't been that bad!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
