The fact is that men of moral character do not need the ego satisfaction of politics. Politicians have a need for love and admiration beyond anything normal folks can concieve of. They are flawed people by definition, no matter how well thought of they may be.
I see Bush as a smart, savior of the Republican Party, not a savior of America, or the world at large. In that I support Republicans, I support Bush's actions, regardless of the mendacity level required for victory. People hate to talk in these terms, they would rather hide behind a false (or sometimes true) nobility.
As Al Davis once said to the once great Oakland Raiders; JUST WIN, BABY! That sums up my politics in a nutshell.
The Communists, in Russia, JUST WON BABY.
I'm assuming they do not fall into the tally that sums up your politics.
