I like seeing them speak out on the issues. We're seeing at the ballot box that we are winning race after race, and even where we don't win vote changes of 10+ percent in our favor.

Some people here wouldn't be satisfied with anything less spittle flinging rage, and that we need to fight on Republican terms with name calling and petulant behavior, but to me that does us no good. Not just because it's not good for the party, but it's not good for our society. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
