Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said about early Republican complaints about Democratic tactics and politics, “Elections count!” Some of those same Republicans still complain today about “dirty tricks” by the Democrats, yet they should keep this in mind, as they continue bellyaching about IRS scandals and supposed abridgment of freedom of the press in regards to Fox News, that Americans have never liked winers. Elections Count! What the new toughness on the part of the mainstream of Democratic party now says - both at the executive level and in congress in response to the howls by conservatives, is that furthermore the next election is three years away - so be wary. Can you really afford three years of IRS litigation? Can your company be sure that it has not violated any federal statute? This, my friends, is the New Way, the progressive way, the Winning way, baby - get used to it!
