See? Now there's a great example of principle. By his answer we can see that G is taking a principled view to issue and performing an agnostic analysis; which concludes that both candidates have violated the principle. Fair enough. The problem with the current politics is that you have to be a wolf to fight wolves. There's *practically* no other way if losing is not an option. Once you win, however, is when you'll see the real test of principle. For example, President Bush ran on his history of bi-partisan efforts and his ability to unite Washington. He did the exact opposite of that. McCain also has a history of working across the aisle, but has also chosen division as his top campaign tactic. Obama, on the other hand, has a history of choosing to work with conservatives (he selected U of Chicago) and has only gotten sleazy when needed. We can't factually conclude anything from that comparative analysis, but it tells me Obama is more likely to the uniter. And a President committed to bi-partisan efforts can easily make it happen by refusing to tolerate cross-party snipping. He can effectively shut out anyone that does it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:277698 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
