Politics is an ugly business, none of those involved are perfect, and you play the hand you're dealt.

It takes guts to stand on your principles, it's the difference between just being a "tell them what is popular" politician and being a statesman.

So with that logic, do you support Obama forcing the health care law, rather than going for what was popular at the time?

We complain when a politician doesnt bend to the will of the people when we like the will, then call the politicians cowards for going with whatever is popular at the moment when we dont like the will.
