Seems like we've been begging for this, for years - SOMEBODY in the Dems PLEEEEEEASE show some BACKBONE!!! SOMEBODY PLEEEEEEASE stand up to these people! SOMEBODY PLEEEEEASE start fighting these people the way they need to be fought: dirty and scheming. If we don't, we'll get rolled - EVERY time.

I posted somewhere else that I deeply admire Michelle Obama's statement that "when they go low, we go high." But with this bunch, going high usually sends you straight over a cliff. We can't fight fair when they don't. That only gets you a win in the movies. Real life doesn't work like that.

I find myself wondering - WHERE are OUR devious players? Where are OUR fighters willing to play dirty? WHY are we always the ones who feel they have to play nice?
