You're implying something icky about principled people. They're proud of their values, and acknowledge the necessity to lie and torture in order to protect this great country of ours. A TV show on Fox clearly demonstrated that the ends do indeed justify the means - just as all those guys babbled about in New Testament times.

And if he let a SS guy tie the shoe, he'd be uppity. And if he walked around with an untied shoe, he'd be stoooopid. And if he left the lace untied, and tripped, he'd be too much of a jetsetting clown to represent us to the world (and not vetted enough in '08).

Stop playing the antivictim. People's freakin' prayers were answered to turn the storm away from Tampa, for Pete's sake. You have to campaign on the near-disaster you have, not the near-disaster you want to have.
