It's pretty ethnocentric to think that a competitive nature is somehow uniquely american. I'd invite you to go to a football (soccer) game anywhere in the world or any other popular national sport. Competitiveness is a human characteristic and the way it manifests itself in both our sports and our politics is not unique to us. The political process the world over is similarly partisan the difference is, the best places have figured out how to keep BIG money less a part of the process while we have figured out more and more ways to make it the essential component.
