Quote: Rob Kamphausen said: politicians are scumbags. thats part of the game. they're all manipulative. bush panders to the religious? true! clinton panders (not "ed") to minorities. also part of the game. some play it off better than others. but don't disillusion yourself into thinking one side of the fence is the hatfields and the other is the huxtibles.
And I agree that Clinton panders (I agree with present tense) to minorities. That's the democratic base, since Johnson and the Civil Rights act, that's been the democratic "thing." But I'm a little more forgiving to someone who panders to a group that's been (and still is) screwed over, as opposed to pandering to a group who have a very large power base.
Like I said, I think all the politicians in Washington are just playing out a feud so they don't have to get any real work done.
