I have posted here going back to the early Bush years, trying to relay the simple point that republicans will blame, denigrate and attack democrats regardless of what they do. Even when they are profoundly wrong about things, which is most often, the double own on their idiotic thinking and scream about how horrible the Ds are.

So ... why do Ds care about that?

Seriously, they are going to attacked and slandered, so why play by the queens rules if you are going to be negatively portrayed anyways.
