I do not believe I have called you a name. You have called me one, however, and inaccurately. Resorting to an ad hominem attack is not a justification for an argument. I simply think that discretion is sometimes the better part of valor. I am fighting Obama in 2012 with every ounce of passion I can muster . . . and you are fighting for principle, which is a fine thing. But, my fight is long-term. Yours is short-term. You want your principle. I want the power to employ principle. I want the White House, and the Senate, and an enlarged majority in the House.

I beg to differ, fighting for principle is the long-term fight. Playing games with strategy is the short-term ruse always used as an excuse/ruse by the GOP.

Your approach (boehner's plan) will gain us nothing and just keeps the status-quo going.
