Politics is greatly concerned with directing finite resources so as to
benefit the deserving. That's exactly what engineering does. Any
engineer who hasn't attempted to gather support for a project he
believes in or persuade naysayers, just hasn't been in the business
very long.

There's good politicians and bad politicians just like there's good
engineers and bad engineers.
