It is naive and childish to believe that people are not motivated by their own
personal interests. And I can judge anyone I want. You are judging that you
KNOW the passion genuinely held by Harris. How can you know that? How
very silly and hypocritical of you. You are making a really big judgment there. My
guess is you've never talked to the woman. How can you "well know the passion"
she holds? Maybe she's faking it. Maybe she's been offered a tasty plum job if
she pulls Bush's nuts out of the fire- or was that the kind of passion you meant
you understood? BTW- when it comes to judging the religious right shouldn't
have ALL the fun. I, however, do not blow people up or condemn them to Hell
when I judge them not to measure up to my standards.

Some people appear to rise above personal interests, but they merely have loftier
seeming personal interests. I am sure Harris firmly believes only Republicans can
benefit all- but that's because she is a partisan- and they never think very clearly
(imo). Partisans are certainly single minded and determined- but they are hardly
open minded and honorable- imo. You may like partisans- I don't. Of course
they can be an end to a means. I suppose if I wanted Bush to be president I
would see Harris as a useful pawn toward that end, but I wouldn't admire her for
being a partisan even if she was a partisan in a cause I supported.
