Yeah but we'd be much better off if the winners at least tried to work in a principle or two.
Principles are little more than opinions. Everyone has their own principles, especially the socialists. Your principles aren't any more sacred than anyone else's.
Dictators can always follow their principles, democratic representatives have to work with other representatives who have conflicting principles.
We will probably never see a more conservative President in our lives times that President Bush. And we definitely won't see another Republican President for decades if the antis succeed in driving all of the Hispanic voters into the Democrat party.
