Latest Presidential Race News....

WOW, what bothers me most is that facts don't seem to matter in political debate these days--debate is driven by rabid hatred rather than reasoned scanning of the evidence. Buttering Clark with one stroke on the bread of Clinton is an obvious example of what I mean--the facts are not important--the rabid idea of hating Clinton, branding a person as part of that hated community, and then making the facts an arcanus blip (what people like Coulter and Limbaugh do) is what makes me crazy.

And for the record: I think Bill Clinton was a big jerk as well as an intelligent politician; I predicted in 1992 that his sex organ would get him into trouble and, sad for him, I was right. But I abhor the rabid baloney (including that he was a murderer) that extreme right wing nonsense throws at a mostly ignorant public.

I am registered with no political party, mainly because I believe in no politicians--but I do despise lies and fact twisting whether they come from the left, the right, the middle or outer space.
