However, conservatives started much later in the offense against liberals, and have never pursued them as viciously as liberals were willing to fight against conservatives.

You're spot on.

Rahm Emanuel is the gold standard. Unless we have people willing to fight as hard (dare I say, dirty?) as Mr. Emanuel, we will be longing for the days when we use to get 100 EV's in a presidential election.

I agree to an extent. However, we are not permitted to fight dirty. We are permitted to fight with 1 or 2 hands tied. (However, that does beg the question whether we should accept those terms).

If we ever did have a "Rahm" he would be demonized by all. Was Lee Atwater that guy for us? To a degree, but not like this guy Rahm.
