The bottom line is, we need to get as asshole-y as they are. Actually, we need to take it to the next level, and start thinking strategically. As Democrats, we tend to get all Kumbaya and overly hopeful, and it is time for that to end. We have the brains, we have the connections, it is beyond time that we start to use them. Oh yeah...first time poster...been lurking since W took office. Only coming out of the woodwork because I feel like we are on the verge of apocalypse now, and we need tptb to step in and try to help out humanity as a whole.
