Bush looks at politics as a "game"....
He loves the competitive nature of political campaigns. He thinks governing and doing the work after he wins simply sucks. But the "game" is what he enjoys. Nothing is off limits. You can say something one day and contradict it the next. The point to winning is to have an excuse or "explanation" when you flip-flop.

And, most of all, always keep your opponent on the defensive. Attack him. Get him to respond to your attacks. Then change your attacks day by day. Keep your opponent off balance. If you want to lie about your opponent, always get someone else to do the dirty work. It's all a game to George.

1. I read he was highly competitive as a child too. If he was losing he
would become very angry. He would take his bat and ball and go home! Hasn't changed a bit.

2. If he continues to slip in the polls
it's gonna get interesting to watch him.

4. He doesn't want to be President because he cares
about this country or it's citizens. He puts winning above everything else.
