I wonder why the public hasn't completely written off the Democratic party then. Under your scenario the public would have grown weary of their mudslinging long ago. It hasn't happened. I'm sick and tired of sitting back and taking it. Your play nice scenario doesn't work in the real world. That's the old country club Republican attitude. Go along to get along. It sucks.
They probably have. But you're living in a world where reason applies. That is never true with Democrats, who made up their "minds" the day Bush was elected that he was a scoundrel. They've spent the last five years trying to prove it.
It hasn't happened.
No duh?
I'm sick and tired of sitting back and taking it.
Nobody's saying you should.
Your play nice scenario doesn't work in the real world.
"Play nice?" When did I urge that? I simply said that raging like idiots does nothing but tire an already weary public. The proper stance is calm, composed, and merciless.
That's the old country club Republican attitude.
What, sanity?
Go along to get along.
If the Democrats lie and we tell the truth, it hardly constitutes "going along."
It sucks.
This could be the defining moment for the Republicans. If they maintain an air of dignity and composure while the Democrats are imploding all around them, they will win the day. If they go monkey, they look as stupid as their critics.
