Which of our Dem leaders/candidates are picking fights with the Repubs?

I am not talking about fighting back. I'm talking about picking a fight and taking it to them. Calling out a Republican on a smear or a lie or a bad policy stance is not picking a fight. It is defending yourself or debating politics.

As but a few examples:

Calling out a Republican over the bait and switch that took place in the Dubai ports deal is picking a fight.

Calling out the Republican Party over the coordinated and centrally controlled swiftboating attacks is picking a fight.

Calling out the Republicans for mixing religion with public policy is picking a fight.

Do you have any specifics you can cite or link that show people on our side picking a fight?

1. Cynthia McKinney was doing that,

and half the people here called her crazy.

Why is it that we scorn dems who play along with the repubs, but blast those who actively oppose them?

2. Jim McDermott does it all the time. n/t

4. Can you cite an example?

3. Dean, he did really well with Wolfie & Chrisie yesterday

Lamont is great, the few times we have been privileged to hear him speak it is inspirational, kinda like Dean during his run for Pres.

5. I agree he's pretty good at picking fights

And that's a good thing.
