克里唯希拉克之命是从

　　美国早期的政治领袖惟恐与别的国家结盟，使自己卷入争端。大多数美国人将这个国家在地理上与其他洲不接壤视为欣喜之事。长期以来，"孤立主义"一直是很有影响力的社会舆论---实际上，直到第二次世界大战之前，它在美国对外政策中一直占据统治地位。"孤立主义"存在的原因之一是人们担心美国东海岸的权力精英（即那些与新英格兰地区、纽约和宾夕法尼亚州老牌富有家族结成联盟的亲英派金融家和实业家）可能会将美国的部分主权出让给国际机构，或者这些人会太在意有影响力的欧洲领导人的意见，而忽视美国百姓的愿望。
　　这些恐惧感直到现在仍然很深，尤其在美国南部和西部。因此，一个美国政治家的观点若是给人以太"欧洲化"的感觉，他在选票上就会吃亏。布什和克里都出身于有势力的东海岸家族，这自然会使他们在那些喧嚣的少数美国人眼中变得不可信任。不过布什已经千方百计将自己"得克萨斯化"，把自己塑造成一个普通百姓的公众形象。

　　Early US political leaders were wary of "entangling alliances" with other nations. Most Americans regarded the country's geographic isolation as something to rejoice in. "Isolationism" has long been a powerful current of public opinion -- indeed it dominated foreign policy until World War II. One aspect of isolationism was a fear that America's East-Coast power elite (the anglophile financiers and industrialists in league with the old wealthy families of New England, New York and Pennsylvania) might cede parts of American sovereignty to international organizations. Or they might simply pay too much mind to the opinions of influential European leaders rather than to the wishes of ordinary Americans.
　　These fears are still potent, especially in the south and west of the nation. Thus any feeling that an American politician is too "European" in his outlook can cost him at the polls. Both George W. Bush and John Kerry are scions of influential East-Coast families. This automatically makes them suspect in the eyes of a vociferous minority of Americans. Bush, however, has gone to great lengths to "texanize" himself, cultivating a plain-folks regular-guy　public image.
