You know in politics you are dealing in the realm of choices. You don't always have clear-cut decision between a thoroughly principled position and a thoroughly unprincipled one.

It has to be done, because we need to order our society, and of politics it can literally be said: Bad job, but someone's got to do it.
Peter Costello - Decisions - Social - Politics - Jobs
