I would agree with you and Michelle this time, if we ever gained anything by taking the high ground, but it's not gonna happen. There fore IMHO we should always go for the Jugular.
I'm all for going for the jugular. IMO, the GOPers should be calling these democrats traitors, and saying Murtha and Kucinich and Mcdermott etc should be hanged for treason. Someone's fiction in a book is less than compelling to me, and mimics the dems weak smear tactics. Don't nip at their ankles, punch them in the gut and call a spade a spade.
