Calling John Galt

Will taking the moral high ground allow us to win the House, Senate and ultimately the White House? For sake of argument, lets say the Republicans take the mantle of fiscal conservatism and individual freedoms. As the Democrats attack and simply lie about their policies and their impacts on our society, should we respond in kind?

Should we shout, lie, slander and attack those that disagree with us? Will winning be worth the cost?

Democrats ruthlessly attacked and slander President Bush (43), and rarely did Republicans come to his defense. 43 wasn’t the best of presidents, but he certainly wasn’t Hitler, a mass murderer, an idiot, or any thousands of things we was called. This set the national tone and the argument. By not responding in kind did Republicans lose all that they had gained?
