as an opportunist. I bet if you tried, you could trace each and every one of his votes with the common theme of getting re-elected or running for higher office.
Send young soldiers half way around the world to die, even though he protested an earlier version of the same kind of war? Sure, he needed to defuse accusations that he was soft on defense when he made his white house run.
Vote for the worst un-funded mandate to come down the pike in decades? No problem. It's not like his kids or eventual grandkids will have to rely on public education.
Vote for unbelievably irresponsible tax cuts? Of course, considering he's one of the folks that got the biggest slice of the pie.
Show up to vote against the Partial Birth Abortion bill? Nope. That's a political hot potato, wouldn't want to alienate women or religous folks. Better to let that one slide.
How many different ways does he have to prove that he's in it for himself?
