I agree with that sentiment somewhat, and that would be when you are in opposition to the repiggies...not your own supporters.

I have always thought that the Democratic party, in addition to using facts against buzzwords as often as possible, should emulate the republican attack machine in order to defeat them.

That doesn't mean that you have to lie, make backroom deals and f*ck over those who support you.

I agree, Muad_Dib. What it DOES mean is you have to call out the bad guys on every issue they are lying, cheating, or hedging on. Something this President has been afraid to do since day one. By calling out, I mean saying directly and without mincing words in a national address

Excellent work on this...

Such a great discussion.

It holds up on its own even after the several weeks it has been posted here.
