It is TOE the line. Not TOW. I know, seems weird, but that's what it is. TOE.

A thousand times YES!! That one drives me bananas. It doesn't seem as weird if you picture a line in the dirt and contrast toeing the line with crossing the line.

Right! What do people think that means, that they're saying tow the line? *puzzled*

I think you use a towline to pull a barge or some other towable thing. But that has no relation to our poor oft-mutilated idiom.

They're thinking about taking on the burden of the party line, not a literal line in the dirt.
