One juror babbled something about how "We don't stoop to that level..."

Yeah, but they do.

This is why they win; they use tactics that we here in Idealistville would neither use nor consider. We discuss the world we wish for, not the world as it is.

But refusing to discuss something the GOP has repeatedly demonstrated they are capable of because we are "above" that, yeah... that's pretty much why we lose.
