...when the fighting is hot a dirty down in the trenches..

Are there trenches in Congress? Are there trenches at the neighborhood party?

It is pretty important to understand the difference between actual warfare and political discourse, don't you think?

Here is another gem of wisdom from the Founders:

All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
--Thomas Jefferson--

This is another point overlooked often in modern politics: Even though we won through a majority vote, we are still responsible for the welfare and interests of the minority.
