Politicians really are people to be admired.
OK now, the few of you still with me after that opening statement, think about it. Most successful politicians, regardless of political ideology, are considered successful because they manage to stay in office for repeated terms. There s a variety of ways they pull this off, some of which are fine and proper things to be doing. Some of them fall a few yards short of being wholesome. One of the biggest things that good politicians do, however, which allows them to stay in office, has nothing to do with right or wrong.
