Success is the ability to rise above principle.
Elwyn Brooks White : “Americans are willing to go to enormous trouble and expense defending their principles with arms, very little trouble and expense advocating them with words. Temperamentally we are ready to die for certain principles (or, in the case of overripe adults, send youngsters to die), but we show little inclination to advertise the reasons for dying.”
“The more successful a political party, the more winning its ways, the less of its time is spent casting about for policy or determining its principles. But, political parties with principles or even without them, have a common need for money; someone has to pay for the television commercials.” Dalton Camp, Canadian political commentator
You’re kidding, right? You seriously believe Obama ever actually had principles?
Definitely kidding. Consider what I do for a living.
Here is a nice article which nicely sums up Obama’s sell out. Or you could just look at the cartoon above. http://www.counterpunch.org/levine07252011.html
I think the Republican and Democrat parties should stop pretending to have different values and join forces to becomes the Repocrats.
[…] There’s Got To Be One […]
Patron nails it, the Republicrats should drop all pretense of being for “fiscal conservatism” or “social justice”, whatever those mean, and join hands around the one principle they stand for: making everyone else miserable.
