9. Exactly!

It is a fact that republicans will cheat to win. I remember my aunt saying that the PA vote margin was less than 1%, the smallest it had ever been, and that a re-count needed to be done. Her and my uncle -- who President Carter awarded as "Teacher of the Year" -- were active Democrats. I remember visiting them as a kid, and their being neighbors with Governor Casey. (I will say that his son, the future Senator, was not good at kickball.) And I remember the 2008 season, when republicans broke into a campaign HQ one night, and stole their computers' hard drives.

Now, when I boxed, I never intentionally broke a rule. But if my opponent was purposely fouling me, and the referee failed to address it, I had mastered the art of responding in kind. I didn't then, and don't now, consider that cheating. I was leveling the playing field (or ring apron). I think that same mindset can be properly applied to the sport of politics.
