Is it plausible that your bias makes it impossible for you to see them as reasoned?

No. You haven't presented what I consider to be significant support for any argument I've seen you make recently. Check this out:

"Don't you all think its more than a little coincidental that Bush Jr. has basically the same cabinet as his father? And I know his father created that cabinet, not Bush Jr. Frankly, I think Bush Jr. seems to be an okay guy who is not too smart and not too dumb....sort of like the three bears' porridge."

Now, be honest. Do you consider this argument to be substantial? While you and others complain about me calling YOU an idiot, here you are calling Bush "not too smart, not too dumb". At least there evidence to support MY claim. There isn't a shred of evidence to suggest that Bush, the leader of the free world, has anything other than a top notch intellect. Certainly, in terms of performance, once has to conclude that he is more capable than anyone who has held the office since Reagan; and I think there is plenty of reason to believe he is substantially brighter than his opponent in 2000.

My point is, if you're offended by me referring to you as an "idiot" or "idiotic", don't take it personally. I suggest you set a goal to make more forceful arguments and perhaps you may even learn something along the way.
