But where Augustine saw his rescue in God, and Adams nowhere, Jagger clings to his sexuality, to the idea...
...effort to strengthen his position on the issues they were concerned about. They were able to do this by their legitimate claim to be acting in the name of the voters back home. Now, they are firmly in the candidate's pockets; he can remove them--or more likely, threaten to remove them--even if they are only "seeking" to disagree with his policies.
