Yes, but Watergate was a Republican. Can't compare the two.

You can't "compare the two" of anything. Every opportunity is unique in some ways, and familiar in others. There are too many FReepers getting the vapors over the fact that, amazingly, we're in the civilizational war that we've known we were in since, oh, 1965. Or 1865. So they compete with each other in an exciting game of sitting in their rockers saying, "It'll never work." It's become a real downer to come on the site looking for news and ideas, and be confronted with 140 comments that sound like Eeyore.
It's a new battlefield, not the old one. That means using new ideas and strategies, as well as old classics—including some that "will never work." There are many here whose mind is stuck in the last war, who don't realize it. We have one task: Fight till we win. (And keep going.)
I'm told the Army has a saying, " 'Hope' is not a method." Neither is despair.
