pragmatic politics

reading through an interesting article about obama's coalitional pragmatic politics has got me thinking about liberalize language acquisition. All this time I have been employing confrontative politics, a bit centrist in the radical tradition and have been willing to "compromise". Im interested in the reservation of the spirit to true intention a kind like Iago in Othello but with greater intentions. But what are the intentions? 2 faced? or are you pragmatic and true to a larger vision

Now what do I want to be said of me. I want adjectives: fierce, determined, intelligent,

I dont want to understood as standoffish or standard politician
