George Bush and the Repubs want to play hardball politics....
then maybe it is time to play their game? Maybe it's time for the Democrats to play hardball politics? If the Repubs complain, maybe it's time for them to get into another business? If they can't stand the heat, they shouldn't have stoked the fires. We should burn their asses at every opportunity, in my opinion. They are liars and sheep. They have taken us to war on lies. When their president says "Jump!", they say "How high?". They are tearing down our country and if they want to continue to play "hardball", we need to show them that we can play that game, also.

1. Exactly, they should be "outted"
These crooks need to be "outted" as the unpatriotic, pro-wealthy elitists that they are!!

We can no longer sit back and let them define "patriotism", the word "elitists", "what the American people want", etc.

The middle and the left, including Democrats, and disenfrancised Independent and Republican's, are going to have to take the fight to the heart of argument....HONESTY and WHO WORKS MORE FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN!! But OUR candidates not only need to TALK that way....they need to GOVERN that way. THE ONLY SPECIAL INTEREST THAT SHOULD MATTER IS THE MORE PERFECT UNION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS!!

2. I dunno. It may be more effective to disarm the republican majority
in the House and the Senate by gently chiding on the dearth of biparison spirit and compromise. Partisonship slows down progression of legislation; it discourages well-tempered and reasoned debate; it destroys personal friendships across the aisle; it is a bad example for the rest of the country.

Dems should talk about how the republicans should compromise and I'm not talking about giving in the dems. I'm talking about where the resolution does not give either side what it wants but rather a combination of things and leave the unresolved for another day. We need more civility from republicans. I however am at a loss on how to get it, sort of "Who will bell the cat".

3. We need to be smart, discerning of the fights we pick & compassionate.
Not to the neocons. To people.
