Bush's Principles?

Reuters via ABCNews: Bush Admits Iraq 'Miscalculations' in Times Interview

In an interview published on Friday in USA Today, Bush said that Americans will re-elect him to a second term even if they disagree with his decision to invade Iraq.

Bush said voters "know who I am and I believe they're comfortable with the fact that they know I'm not going to shift principles or shift positions based upon polls and focus groups."

You can't shift principles when there aren't any with which to begin, buddy.

A principle is a path of action and thought you refuse to deviate from and consider deeply important. Name me an issue where President Bush has taken an utterly firm and uncompromising stand that can be reconciled with reality that doesn't conflict with other things he has said and done. I promise to leave the comments open.

Besides, given the nature of politics and the negotiating process it demands, no politician can remain true to noncontradictory principles for very long.
