Turnabout is fair play. If we waited for Republicans to negotiate sensibly on legislation, nothing would ever get done.

In other words, they win.

There is nothing wrong with playing hardball when the opposition is intent on irrational obstruction, delay, and fomenting lies.

come the November election. I actually dread the aftermath of the election, in fact. The democrats better not try to pull another "Gore" stunt this year... not after yelling how important it is to vote and save our democracy! We're doing our part; I expect them to hold up their ends when the voting is over! No concession. Fight like Republicans!
