I'm tired of taking it in the butt from the 'Rats and the media. If they want to play it clean, then I'm with that. If they are going to play dirty, I'm just tired of them screwing us, and it's awfully hard to keep turning the other cheek and play the gentleman while they beat our brains out. The principle here, in case it isn't obvious, is fairness. Don't apply one standard to one side and another to the other.
I'm arguing that both sides should man up and take it with good humor if possible. Both sides should also refrain from insults. It's not a perfect world - they aren't playing by the rules but I believe we should.
I know it seems hard for me to push back on little things like this but I do so because I am worried as well. Minority parties are parties that change to acquire more votes. I don't want us changing in THAT way to acquire more votes. I didn't like it when they did it and I don't like it now that I see it starting to happen with us.
