OK, but your example would REALLY be more like one team is corking bats, so the other team decides to get "even" by corking bats AND going on steroids.

I still don't see that the first team can be blamed for the steroids.

Because the second team wants to keep it's honest players around.  So it takes in only a few players who cork and use steroids to balance it.

But it's infectious.

Instead of having a whole team of cheaters, they only have a few cheaters... until it spreads.

So you're saying that the Democrats were kind of disreputable, so the Republicans compensated by recruiting a few people to be REALLY disreputable while the rest stayed good, only they all went crazy.

I'm sorry but that makes no sense.  I mean, I understand what you're saying, but no.  And that still doesn't address the fact that the second group was bringing in ANOTHER kind of bad behavior.  Even accepting your crazy talk, the Republicans still brought guns to a knife fight, as it were.

Well yeah... a couple guns would even things up in a fight where a large group of people had knives and the other group was unarmed.

In close quarters that may be true.  But in an open field it's a different story.

[edit:  And I'm beginning to suspect you have an awfully rosy view of the old guard Republicans.]

Fiscally conservative, everyone being treated equally... (both things neither party ascribes to anymore.)

What's not to like?

As always.  I look at Teddy Roosevelt as the best politician out there by a country mile.  Though he was the "marverick" of his time in some ways... even in the Republican party.
