7. "and not afraid of a fight."

That pretty much sums it up for me. It's been Dem's problem for years, and they really need to get over it. People like Graham have recognized that we are not dealing with rational people. There can be no "You've got a point, let's see what we can agree on" with this cabal. They hate Democracy, are dead set on destroying it, and I think people like Platner can stop them. John Boehner said during Bush 2 (?) "Our idea of cooperation is the Democrats doing what we want." Nothing has changed, in fact, it's gotten worse. Dems have to learn to come out swinging, and Platner has.

And just WHO are Republicans to throw issues of "morality" at this guy? At least his partners were consenting adults.
