Moral midgetry.
-D´Agostino:- Do you think politics is only about winning the argument? That whoever has the right fact at the right moment wins? Clinton had facts Kennedy had facts.Yeah, but Reagan? He couldn't summon a fact to save his life.It's not just facts, it's how you use them. When you get hold of a fact you go smart-ass and start beating on people.That's Clinton and Reagan when they got up to speak, they gave everyone in the room comfort and confidence.You liked those guys.You were happy to think that they even liked you.
