I have no respect for that position.

You take a complicated issue and overly simplify it, another example of BS.
What I say is that People generally do what is their best interest. And, we should expect that. A President in most instances will not ignore an opportunity to gain more power. I would do that. Perhaps you would not. However, if that is your nature and you live in a world with people like me, well...let's just say you would reap what you sow.
In the power struggles between the executive branch and Congress it has been a given and take, it has not always been pretty, it has not always been open, and it has not always been consistent with what our founding fathers intended. When "your/my guy" is winning "you/me" tend to ignore the unpleasant stuff, that is what I mean by "consistency" or being "objective", it takes effort. Some put in the effort some don't. To me it is obvious who does and who does not. I put in the effort and those who don't want to marginalize my view on issues where I support Bush, another example of BS.
I don't have a "Disney Land" (let's all be happy) view of politics. So in your overly simplified view of what I may or may not try to get away with you seem to suggest that you are on some morale high ground, but there is no high ground in politics. there never has been and there never will be - people will do what is their best interest.
