DISQUS

Desider · 2 years ago

Except that with Hillary, her performance in the Senate and
her general comments indicate she learned from this embarrassing
defeat, and has developed  a much more amicable form of politics
in the last 14 years.

Cheney's foray into secretive energ policy was just a starter course
for an expanded shadow government with no holds barred.

And anyone being fair will see a huge difference between not wanting
to much publicity during negotiations (Camp David, anyone?) versus
not wanting to divulge even who was there long after the negotiations.

But go ahead, pull out the big wide brush and paint "All Equal" across
everything.

If all what you taking from this story is the secretive tactics than I'm afraid that you are missing the point. What seems to me more important is the complete disregard to the proper way of implementing new, and controversial, policy. The willingness to brake the rules of the game in order to achieve "victory". The stability of democratic regimes and the ability to maintain basically civil and liberal society depend on the way it manage conflicts - the process is the game, much more than the "score" the different players achieve.<div></div><div> </div>
