Reply #13: That's a great idea since we are going to be in power forever. [View All]

Yes, we have won an election recently. One. That was probably as much or more for the reason that the public is unhappy with the Repbulicans. Many apparently believe that we won because they are head over heels in love with the Democrats. So we think we can well afford to be self righteous jerks just like the Republicans have been and continue to be since they will never be in power again? But the chances are they will be again, some time. Then they ratchet it up a notch and when we regain power again, so do we. On and on and on it goes. We can be smart and tough and not naive without being assholes and by doing do we will stay in power for a long time. Whether we like it or not, we have a relationship with the Republicans. Somebody has to be the adult, so it may as well be us.
