Lazamataz, you remind me of something a woman once said to me, decades ago, when I was describing the capabilities of the Phoenix missile to her. At the point where I told her that a single Tomcat was capable of tracking 24 targets shooting down 6 enemy aircraft before they would ever see the Tomcat on their radar, she remarked; "That's not a fair fight!" I asked her if it mattered more if it was a fair fight, or that America wins it's air battles.

Now, I'm asking you essentially the same thing regarding the Democrats. What is more important? Winning, or fighting fair?

You could've given her this definition of a "fair fight" (paraphrased) - "A fair fight is where all my men come home safe and we win."

In politics, there is -- by definition -- no such thing as a fair fight. HOWEVER, there is such a thing as ruling justly.

A politician that hews to the Consitution and BoR, rules justly. A politician that abrogates the Constitution and BoR, rules unjustly and sets us on the road to tyranny.

I don't care about a fair fighter. I care about making sure I do not help elect a would-be tyrant.
