What you think you are hearing me say, "because they did it first" or "we'll show them," I never said. You put those words in my mouth but they were never uttered by me. With their backs to the wall, Democrats have been left with no choice but to play the same game of dirty pool that Republicans have been playing for years if they want to stay in the game and fight for what's left of our tattered republic. When the rules of the game change, you either change and adapt or you lose. I'd rather change and adapt.
