CK, I have never seen any evidence that what you are claiming is true. Scumbria

Speaking of credentials, one might wonder about those of James Baker himself. Everything he did in Florida was diametrically opposed to core conservative principle. His exercise of raw power in defining the conventional reality there-attacking the legal manual recount process that Republicans had never challenged as long as things went their way, moaning about "endless legal wrangling" that they then started, the presumption of "mischief" in the recount process, the assertion that people could be "unconsciously biased," followed by the attacks on the judiciary for being biased in Florida--then gave us a president by virtue of, yes, a biased judiciary who drew law out of thin air to support a decision that not one single judge would take responsibility for. Everything he did was according to principles that Lynn Cheney called in her 1995 book, Telling the Truth "an attack on Western Civilization." Ask any conservative intellectual what they think of the notion that "there is no such thing as objective reality." Then look at what the Reps did in FLorida. Major contradiction, dude. Win at any cost, even if it means the destruction of institutions. "We'll worry about that later...."
