We don't have to, and shouldn't throw our principles away, but we have to accept that Republicans do not play by the rules at all, so we have to fight hard. When we didn't impeach Dubya, and naively trusted that they would play fair when we unilaterally took impeachment off the table, how did they respond? By spreading LIES about veteran and decorated hero John Kerry. Remember the purple band-aids? To us, that was offensive and beneath dignity, but to the majority of Americans, that was red-meat, reality-TV which stuck to Kerry like tar. If we don't fight with every tool that we have, we are going to lose our democracy.
