Ah, now we get to the heart of the matter: politics is corrupting. But politics is also "the art of the achievable". Thus, to achieve anything, one must be corrupted. Thus, the pure at heart can't achieve anything, are impotent. So one has a choice: remain pure, stick to ideals, remain uncorrupted -- and powerless. Or, make compromises, take filthy coin, feed at the Devil's tit -- and accomplish something. What's your preference?
