""Krauthammer says he should not get in the gutter with the senate leader...just stay above the fray to win.""

This is a huge gamble, and I can only pray you are right.

This was not my opinion. I stated what Krauthammer said. I'm with you on what the right thing to do is.

I personally think we should fight fire with fire and quit being 'nice guys'.

We need to face up to them with some energy and facts - with some back bone - so to speak!

The Republicans should do this for the President and all they seem to do is cave in!

I believe President Bush has the smarts to walk the fine line between staying out of the gutter, and making the usual GOP mistake of not responding to the enemy.

Don't we all remember how furious we've been at Dole, Lott, and crew for never never smacking Clinton/Gore/Lieberman down? Don't we all know the importance of responding to lies instantly? In the same news cycle?

I like Charles Krauthammer, but his area of expertise is NOT how to win the war of words with weasels.
