If the Republicans had fought fire with fire, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Palin was the only one I saw fighting fire with fire and see what they did to her.
Maybe the GOP wanted to lose this one so they could hang all the coming misery around Barack Obama’s neck.
Only problem with that reasoning is the Supreme Court nominations, fewer restrictions on abortions, and all the socialist programs he intends to start that once started never ever end. But maybe the GOP doesn’t really care about these issues.
