<<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.>>

Hallelujah....you've finally got it. This is a lot different than saying he's linking himself to "conservative politics" as you were previously stating.

It's actually very easy to know what he thinks politically.....he's made it very easy for everyone to figure out by virtue of almost 30 years of lyrics and countless speeches from recorded live shows.

As a side note.....I grew up in a suburb on the north side of Dublin close to where Bono lived and was lucky enough to be witness to the 2nd live show they ever played (at my high school gym, St. Fintans Sutton, late 1976).

I got to see them in small clubs in Dublin on several other occasions before they exploded and was lucky enough to have shook his hand after a couple of those shows.

You see, I feel I have a vested interest to make sure that his noble achievements are not construed as endorsements of any political philosophy, left or right. They need to be seen for what they are......great acts of human kindness :-)
