Back when I was active with the DC Chapter, I read Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. A quick glance at the table of contents and it's not too hard to see that it's the playbook of the Democrats. With chapter titles like "Of Means and Ends", "A Word About Words", and "Tactics", I'm sure you get my meaning. The chapter "Of Means and Ends" starts with this paragraph:

THAT PERENNIAL QUESTION, "Does the end justify the means?" is meaningless as it stands; the real and only question regarding the ethics of means and ends is, and always has been, "Does this particular end justify this particular means?"

Scary stuff, huh? I read it to get a better understanding of the other side. Joe (MCM)
