Like I said Michael...Bono dismisses left wing politics as whining and non effective. He says it in his own words here:

"it would be really wrong beating a sort of left-wing drum, taking the usual bleeding-heart-liberal line,” says Bono.

Instead, he enlisted the ruling right of American politics.

Those are Bono's own words.

I find it amusing that I use quotes, and you think you can translate for others what Bono is actually thinking.

How long have you had these mind reading powers?

My only point here is that I think Bono has taken a pragmatic and respectable approach to effectively further his cause.

The left could learn a lot from him. Rather than whine and cry about Republicans being in power...Bono has "linked" himself to Bush and Republicans to influence and compromise on his political goals.

I can admire that even if I don't agree with everything he wants to do.

Now could he do that if he ran around calling Bush a monkey?

It's funny how you act like YOU own Bono. You seem to be in a panic over his embrace of right wing politics...and his kind words of praise for Bush and Congress.

Get used to it...people eventually jump off of sinking ships.

Dean and Pelosi's re-arranging of the deck chairs only fools so many people.
