Politics and Politicians

'Why compare players...when I don't like the game itself'

about Politicians (and Presedential candidates in particular) and Politics.... From the movie 'Primary Colors' - Loosely based on the election of Bill Clinton to the US Presidency

I get the feeling that a lot more could be achieved if words like Diplomacy, Politics, Consensus did not exist... and then I imagine a world view conforming to Stalin and Hitler's dictats ... is there no middle ground where results are achieved without mindless discussion..
