You get into the office by politics, you roll over the demo666rats by politics, so if you suck at politics get out of the race.

You lead the nation via politics. Witness the historic poll low poll numbers of the one [W]ho does not understand politics and slew what was left of his legacy over amnesty for illegals.

The presidents most admired were master politicians, and a deep understanding of politics is the stuff of leadership. To wit:

“I paid for this microphone” R. Regan

No, with a master politician you get things like campaign finance reform, amnesty, and war turned political mess. A master leader would have the US fully mobilized to take care of Iran and Pakistan, instead of messed-up political war—benchmarks? how about win and border fence!

Then why does everyone get so upset when someone politicises an issue, or is accused of playing politics?
