I fail to see how that is significantly different than what has actually happened, however. Would they have accused Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid of being Double socialists, rather than just calling them socialists? Would they have labeled the president as a "secret double Kenyan double Muslim"? Would they have double blocked every piece of legislation democrats have tried to pass? Double gerrymandered the states they have gathered control of?
It seems like we are in a situation where we(the left) are being told its necessary to pull our punches and avoid hurting the other side, that we need to keep it civil and polite and not piss anyone off. But our opponents are not doing so. If anything they are adding lead to their gloves and throwing handfuls of sand in our eyes, cheating at every opportunity. What are we gaining by playing nice?
