"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."

“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.”
Republicans believe this old Pro football saying applies to everything in the world.
That’s why they do what they do.
They will lie, cheat, steal, and do whatever it takes to win and hold power.
They don’t let hypocrisy, morality, norms, rules, or basic human decency, get in the way of their agenda.
How do you defeat an enemy like that?

(who popularized the phrase), that was only half of it. The rest was “So long as it’s done fairly, within the rules, written and unwritten.”

asses into the ground. I’ve never taken the first swing but heh, someone wants to start something, game on and I’ll damn sure win. Fortunately, I’ve never hit anyone but I’ve definitely made folks back up and rethink their options.

Have been saying that for years. Real, brutal hard ball can be played without breaking laws.
