Not when they lie, cheat or steal their way to the nomination.

If we have to employ the tactics of those we loath to defeat them, we haven't won anything. All that happened is that they have turned us into the same as them. We might as well be green team and yellow team picked at random. Ethics and principles are what make us Democrats (with the big D), and without them, we are just the "opposition" being played by the same masters. Used.

And yes, I was one of the ones that railed against the Green Party (I was a member) in 2000 when I thought Nader cost Gore the election. The difference is that Al Gore is and was a good person, a true Democrat, and there WAS a difference between him and Bush. But I would have happily voted Nader if Gore had pulled stunts like this...

We can't tolerate moral bankruptcy within our leadership.

To even allow this to continue (even if Hillary didn't order it, she could stop it) is a sign of "win at all costs" attitude, an attitude that I believe is without moral value.
