The thing is, we don't have any organized political stuntsters on our side.

[Warren Stupidity]

All the stunts, going back several elections, are from the refuglican dirty tricks teams. We don't even have a team in the tournament.

1. Playing on that undignified field can be a slippery slope

But then again -- one could always wear spiked cleats and a Guy Fawkes mask!

[Ian David]

2. We used to have Michael Moore, but he's doing other things now.

3. I dont think we want to copycat the stunts of these morons.

I do believe this kind of stuff will backfire on them. This only plays well to the hard core RW.

[Warren Stupidity]

5. The "morons" who took over in 2000, who came back in 2010,

After being swept out of office in 2008? The "morons" who have reset and rewritten the political landscape since 1980? Those "morons"?

Yes we can't learn anything about how to play the game from them, they are "morons".

[DCBob]

10. They win mostly because of money and media control.

Their moronic stunts only impress the ignorant RWingers.

4. The high road is for losers.

When are we going to realize that the other side plays to win? They don't give a fuck about truth, fairness, honor or any of that virtuous bullshit. They want us dead and gone. This isn't merely a civil ideological debate that can be resolved through compromise to do the best thing for the country. This is a deathmatch where nothing is too low and no hostage is off limits. They don't care if they hurt the country to get what they want, they won't shrink from actively sabotaging the country to get what they want. We need to be as hard core as they are.

If we need to trick people or lie to them or pull ratfucker moves to get them to vote in their own interest, we should do it.

When you play a game and one side is going to go all out to win and the other side is going to stay within the rules and play fair, the cheater is going to win every time.

A mere four years ago the Republican party was given its last rites. Within two years they were back, crazier than ever and winning the House in a historic blowout.

How? Why?

The answer is obvious and we need to get with the program.

7. Thank you!!

Every time we lose an election to the Pukes, I cringe when somebody here calls it a moral victory or whatever! Like Lombardi said, winning isn't everything, it's the ONLY thing!

6. Because we respect the process and want people to talk about ideas, not brawling in public.

This is what we're up against, a boatload of people who think the cheap badgering pushed by Rush and O'Reilly is debate. It's not getting anything done but proving that bullying works to end progress.

We have serious problems in this world that need to be tackled, not each other. Right wingers should go home and sleep it off. Then return to talk when they're sober.

[Bake]

8. Not EVERY Dem needs to be a street fighter

But we need a few of them, just to keep the Pukes honest. Sometimes you just have to kick a bully squarely in the balls.
