You are rapidly losing you claimed status of impartiality

I have never claimed to be impartial. I do try to look at both sides, and to appreciate the good and the bad in both sides, and I try to see past extreme rhetoric. You will notice that I linked articles pillorying both Bush and Gore.

Trying to be fair and reasoned does not mean that one stops evaluating and judging. That would be asinine. It does not mean one stops forging personal opinions. That would be despicable.

In this instance I believe the Democrats have damaged their reputation in front of millions of people. I don't believe they have been fair; I don't believe they have been decent; I don't believe they have been above-board. I believe that even many of their supporters have become disenchanted by this transparent and contrived grab for power. It sickens many fair minded people, and Democrats as a whole are just as fair minded as are Republicans. If a new election were called tomorrow, I believe they would lose by a landslide. These are my beliefs so I state them.

I am happy for you, if you are impartial, and therefore have no values; But I am not. I don't date women with no money--unless they are really intelligent. So I don't date women with no money.

I do try to look at both sides of all questions and to think for myself. I would surely respect you for doing the same.
