Leftists aren't going to dispute it until we come to a war they agree with. Leftists have an amazing ability to believe that they are for peace and have always been for peace during the times when they are for peace, completely forgetting the times when they were for war.

Yes, the Republican Party is indeed divided into those wings. However, the Republican Party is very very good at falling in line, and you will see this come fall once a nominee has been chosen.
I agree generally, as the reason the Republican Party tends to fall in line in the best of times is because they rally around specific policies. In the worst of times however, they could really fall apart. A Tea Party candidate would probably steal more votes away from the Republicans in the general than an Occupy candidate would for the Dems. Part of that is due to conservatives having more numbers than liberals, but I think there's something more there as well. I'm not saying that anything like this will happen, or that the Republicans won't fall in line in the fall, but it's just a difference in makeup of the parties. Also, other than Ron Paul, I haven't noticed any major policy differences among the candidate. I agree, but because the Republican Party is more policy driven, even miniscule differences in policy can seem dramatic. -- My bracket wasn't good enough to beat SuperNiceDog's in the GameFAQS Rivalry Rumble.

The Republican primary is actually turning into a microcosm of the party's various wings, with some social/cultural overlaps in the last two categories.
Santorum: Social Conservatives Romney: Country Club Republicans Paul: Libertarians Gingrich: Angry White Men (Even if he's not necessarily getting their votes) Basically in the 1970's, the Social Conservatives and the Republican Establishment made a deal. Despite the South and its social/cultural brethern's claims to only resent and hate the industrial titans of Wall Street and the North, on some level they're deeply jealous of them and feel an aspiration and hope to someday become them. In return for the Country Club Republicans giving the Social Conservatives something to aspire to, the Social Conservatives have their vote, albeit Carter and Clinton were able to steal some of them away as they temporarily presented more aspirational models against Ford and Bush/Dole. With Romney, the Social Conservatives are not entirely convinced that they have someone they want to aspire to being, which isn't necessarily anything new, but all of a sudden Santorum has provided them with a clear alternative. The Libertarians/Angry White Men have differences in several areas, but are united in the sense that they are more opportunistic Republicans, supporting the party more because they hate Liberals and Democrats then because they love the party itself. They have many of the same social and cultural resentments as more traditional Social Conservatives do, but come to them in a different way. AWM's religiosity varies from state to state and in fairly irreligious parts of the country, someone like Ron Paul is able to get both Libertarians/AWM on his side, while in the religious South they remain more traditionally Socially Conservative and Newt has done a better job in peeling some of them away for himself -- My bracket wasn't good enough to beat SuperNiceDog's in the GameFAQS Rivalry Rumble.

Oh, Ok, Well my explanation basically boils down to:
IF the girls auto-lost the challenge Courtney must still be in the game, but THEN if Courtney was still in the game but not participating in the challenge, she should have been auto eliminated for not participating in the Immunity Challenge. Edit: or THEN they say that since the challenge requires all in-game people hitting the mat, and since Courtney's in-game status is in question the game must be postponed. -- My bracket wasn't good enough to beat SuperNiceDog's in the GameFAQS Rivalry Rumble.

It would be unfair to excuse her, because that was the rules of the challenge.
But they did excuse her. If she had decided to leave the challenge, that's one thing, but she didn't. The production crew told her she had to leave. They tried to have it both ways. The men should have won in the sense that had the challenge played out the women would have been unable to get all of their members to the end since Courtney was not present, but that presents a paradox. Wouldn't not being able to participate in your team's immunity challenge disqualify you from the game? And if so, that means that Courtney would have been instantly disqualified the second that the challenge restarted, presumably leading the producers to end the challenge right then. If Courtney had actually returned it would have meant that she was able to remain in the game despite not participating in a mandatory Immunity Challenge, albeit one that the producers chose not to play out to completion. I mean the men would have most likely won, but it is theoretically possible for them to still lose the challenge if someone took hours to cross the balance beam, Courtney returning in the meantime. -- My bracket wasn't good enough to beat SuperNiceDog's in the GameFAQS Rivalry Rumble.
