Never fight! You could lose! And if you lose, others could, too! Be afraid, be VERY afraid. It is safer to do nothing, not draw any attention to yourselves, compromise before any conflict occurs, and be sure to lose with no fanfare because doing so couldn't possibly build momentum for the other side...
A political strategy only 21st century Democrats could love.
^^^^^ CB: It's irresponsible and inaccurate not to say "some Democrats". Feinstein, Conyers, Kucinich and others are Democrats. The Democrats in Wisconsin left the state to fight the current attack.
