Monumentally wrong historical analogy. Both sides in those battles shared common values and adhered to the same natural principles. Not so in this case.

Tom Foley would be a better example. RAT rule of the House got tossed thanks to the Contract With America. Tom Foley, the Speaker of the House at the time, also lost his own election as well.
