What is politics?

In one of my university classes one of my professors characterized politics like this: Politics is the art of the possible. (I don’t know where the quote comes from). But what he meant was politics is all about reaching goals through thoughtful compromise.

This is a situation where every vote really does count. There is no doubt that Bush will smear and lie his way into the hearts and minds of many Americans. It is up to the enlightened to remove him from office. In this case, the compromise is NOT between Nader, Bush and Kerry, it is between a ruined nation and Kerry.

The popular vote is not good enough, as can be seen by the last election. We need Bush removed from office while we still have the framework of freedom.
