...to be fair to all sides.

I don't like politics. I'd make a bad politician. Because one generally has to play dirty. And put on an act. Yes, one must play games. And be a good liar. I'd prefer to be a stateman. One who tries to bring opposing sides together. And deals with issues honestly. I also think a stateman admits that he could be wrong. He has self-doubts. But he truly tries to do the right thing and to be fair to all sides. --Jim Broede
