Reply #229: You cant show me an instance where backing down ever worked for us.

[Dr Fate]

I'm not having any trouble convincing Democrats that we should fight Republicans tooth & nail- it is a slim majority and a frightened belt-way leadership that needs that convincing.

Can you name one instance where we allowed the GOP to lie or be hypocritical and then we won an election as a result? I can name several instances where we backed down and refused to make an issue of GOP lies, hypocrisies and controversies and then lost fights and elections. I have over 6 YEARS worth of examples.

Can you at least adress my refutations of those "beautiful" excuses for not telling the truth about the GOP- as opposed to merely stating that they are unconvincing to you and one other DUer?

Whether the frightened-of-their-own shadow DEM establishment or a minority of DUers agrees with the rest of us or not is not the issue- the issue is whether our past strategy of non-agression has ever worked (it has NOT)- and whether the GOP strategy of being very agressive has worked (it HAS).
