You must be a Republican, a member of the Stupid Party. When the very survival of your nation is at stake, you win at all costs. This is exactly what is wrong with the Rep party. Do you think those were the two choices when we fought for our lives against the Japanese or Germans. Get real.
Obama’s Total War Against the GOP
"Total war ends when one side has been pummeled into total submission and loses the will to fight. For the GOP and for the future prosperity of the country, losing the will to fight is not an option. The only way to survive Obama’s assault is to resist him often and prevail in the 2014 midterms. In the interim, the GOP must man the barricades, because the battle is joined and will not cease until January 20, 2017."
Yes. Fortunately, we achieved the "win honorably" option.
Some people just give up easily, because they're too darn lazy to bust their butts doing the hard work of persuading voters.
