The reality is that all we have to do is use the truth.

The truth about the Republican party is so reprehensible that they will automatically accuse of us playing dirty. Then all we have to do is play the tapes, show the videos, show them their written word, show they all the reports where they prove they are the hypocritical pieces of shit that we claim they are.

We play nice, and we will lose. Not playing nice does NOT mean playing unfairly. You can't stay clean while wrestling a pig in mud. We shouldn't even try.

This country desperately needs leadership and progressive values. If it takes fighting hard to do that then fight hard.
