10. Or don't, because your opponent isn't either...
Do unto your opponent as your opponent has done unto you...

Or...

Do unto your opponent as you would have your opponent do unto you...

Or...

Stop being such a hack moralist.

12. And your Republican opponent
will kick you in the balls, knock you to the floor and stomp on you. All with a smile on their face. Or in Cheney's case, a sneer.

13. if for no other reason than behaving in a way that you KNOW to be
the best way will always keep you from *becoming* your opponent (which would then make you allies not opponents :evilgrin: )

15. Politics is tough, combative business. The POINT is to BEAT your opponent, not coddle him/her.

16. Good piece of wisdom. I refuse to become what it is I am trying to fight against
Edited on Fri Jan-01-10 06:10 PM by liberal_at_heart
No matter how others treat me I will always be strong, dignified, civil, tolerant, and compassionate. These are also things I try to teach my children. My daughter is an atheist and we are teaching her to fight for her rights but not to become prejudice, angry, and hateful because if she did then she would be exactly like those who treat her that way.
