YES!!! "Dems Have Ceased Their Traditional Response Of Assuming The Fetal Position When Attacked"

Forgive me, but I’m not prepared to join this walk down Great Umbrage Street just yet. Yes, it’s ugly out there. But is this worse than four years ago, when Obama was accused by the GOP vice presidential nominee of “palling around with terrorists”? Or eight years ago, when Democratic nominee John Kerry was accused of falsifying his Vietnam War record?
What’s different this time is that the Democrats are employing the same harsh tactics that have been used against them for so long, with so much success. They have ceased their traditional response of assuming the fetal position when attacked, and Obama’s campaign is giving as good as it gets — and then some.
Umbrage doesn’t win elections. Ruthlessness does.

Now we're hitting them back so fast they can't catch their breath. Also, the media isn't portraying us as whiny anymore for decrying their lies without hitting back.
If calling out Romney's campaign for their lies, and holding his feet to the fire on the tax returns is "ugly" or "reckless and unfair," in this day and age, then so be it. We're landing blows. That's all that matters. 
The gloves are off and the Democratic Party is ready to rumble! 
Bringing up the question why would someone use that particular phrase? And, just now one where Romney himself said those questioning his tax returns are "small minded."
That last one is sure to go over with the undecided voters like a lead balloon.
decided to go on the poutraged defense and assert they have released all that is legally required. Period.
Very accomodating of her, imo.
over the course of the last 40 years, you've not seen & heard enough to know just what's been going down, & knowing how these unethical, greedy frogs' have NEVER take a day off, excuse me all to hell when I say, never let up, never let down, keep 'em cornered, exploit every weakness, hit 'em with the truth, hit 'em with the facts, & be damned with the niceties.
We tried reason, We tried compromise, We tried all of the time tested, and accepted methods of Statesmanship. And how are We repaid for playing fair, and by the rules? Hustled, demonized, dehumanized & hated Swallowed hook, line & sinker by half the country...you know, the frogs now playing the victims. Took Us a while to get past the shock of just what it all means, honest people give the benefit of the doubt, no longer.
