Rigid? Oh no....That's "strength of character" dontcha know.
Well....I agree with you to a point. Bush was considered a man of convictions (at least that's how his supporters saw him)....However, there's a line between staying true to ones convictions and stubbornness (and/or expecting/enforcing others to embrace YOUR convictions).
I don't know if this person is like that (possibly not)....but I'm always more comfortable with a politician who is more centrist in their approach (regardless of what ideologies they happen to personally hold). One can always stay true to one's own principles on a personal/familial level.....It gets dicey when a politician departs from that and starts governing from an ideological standpoint, regardless of its practicality and/or acceptance by the general population.
