	Base Politics Versus The Body Politic
		The base formula, however the issues may be presented on posters and ballots, is the key to democratic electoral processes in most of the third world.
		The political form of this transformation was a change in the approaches of base political groups.
		The new wrinkle that has appeared increasingly in party politics is a national level version of groups that basically define new or widened oligarchies who are prepared to pay with votes or financial support for official favor for their causes.

	Panel limits politics in base-closure decisions
		At the time, many members of Congress felt base closures were being used to punish them for their lack of support of the military.
		The law interjected politics and bureaucracy into what had largely been a rational decision process based on national security interests and military judgment, according to a National War College paper by Lt. Col.
		As a result, she notes in her report, no military bases were closed between 1977 and 1988.

	Base Closing Choices Impact Politics
		ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. - When the Pentagon announced that it wanted to shut down Ellsworth Air Force Base, it was an enormous setback for Sen. John Thune.
		On Friday, Thune's political future got a big boost when a federal commission decided to save Ellsworth, home to B-1B bombers and a major player in the Cold War.
		Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said the use of a federal commission to decide the fate of military installations makes the process far less political than it was previously when Congress handled such decisions.

		This embrace of NRA jurisprudence is not an aberration.
		Bush blames "raw politics" on the part of Senate Democrats for the delay in getting his appeals court nominees confirmed, thereby creating a "vacancy crisis" in the judiciary.
		The Bush administration is free to use judicial appointments and opinions from the Justice Department to show how much it loves "the base." But, please, let's hear no more administration complaints about "raw politics." Kayne Robinson understood the power of raw politics two years ago, and he was right.

	Foreign Affairs - Base Politics - Alexander Cooley
		ALEXANDER COOLEY is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Barnard College, Columbia University, and was a Transatlantic Fellow of the German Marshall Fund of the United States in 2004-5.
		For one thing, the political complications sometimes associated with dealing with democracies are ephemeral.
		Engaging authoritarian leaders by striking basing deals with them has done little for democratization in those states because these leaders know that, at bottom, U.S. military planners care more about the bases' utility than about local political trends.

	Sound Politics: Liberal Base Pulls Democrats Away from Rational Thought on Anti-Terror Policy
		Their "base" might well be criminally incompetent in terms of understanding the complexity and history of matters relating to national security and waging war.
		Even then, at the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, German soldiers captured while disguised in American uniforms were executed shortly thereafter by firing squad, primarily because the act of disguise changed their status from lawful combatants worthy of POW status, to unlawful, subject to different treatment.
		In contrast, based on their calls for Constitutional rights for such unlawful combatants, certain liberals appear to be retroactively favoring a search warrant and Miranda rights in the apprehension of terrorists, including the likes of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.

		MINNEAPOLIS -- Republicans say their disaffected base can be mobilized for the November elections by emphasizing the security pitfalls of a Democrat-controlled Congress.
		The question for hard-core Republicans is do they want the House to be led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, "who said less than a year after 9/11 'I don't really consider ourselves at war,'" Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman yesterday told the annual summer gathering of the Republican National Committee.
		Polling shows the party base responds most positively to the Republicans' foreign policy, particularly the war against terrorism, and secondarily to tax, environmental and judicial issues.

		Democrats now say Thune doesn't have the status he needs to stop the base from closing.

		The U.S. air base closure in Uzbekistan in July illustrates the enduring problem the Pentagon faces in reconciling its presence in non-democratic countries with its commitment to promoting democracy.
		As the U.S. Army reshuffles military installations abroad, Cooley contrasts the contested nature of its basing presence in Central Asia with the relatively supportive political environment that is likely to surround new bases in democratic Romania and Bulgaria.
		He underscores how the United States can lose broad international legitimacy by dealing with non-democratic regimes, and even how it risks losing its actual military presence in the event of a sudden democratic transition in that host country.
