A thought about politicians

I just remembered this-
A while ago a friend said to me who I'd rather have as a president and described 3 people which amounted to a perfect one, a bad one, and somewhat lazy one.
He was stunned when I said I would't vote for the perfect one because it was obviously Hitler, and the bad one was obviously Roosevelt. The lazyish one was Churchill.
People would vote for Hitler because he was perfect. Of course, once you know history, you wouldn't vote for the perfect one because he was perfect or electible. For all you know, he'll be the next tyrant.
Of course, 90% of Americans ask "but can X really win?" Well, yeah, if people worried less about winning and more about voting for their principles.
