It really doesn't exist among any of us. Even when we want to try to be
"fair and balanced", and try to understand and fairly present the
opposing viewpoint, we still will highlight our own viewpoint to help
someone understand the correct choice.

That's far too metaphysical for 7:00 AM.

I'll go along with your comments since they imply that propounding my
viewpoint, although perhaps not completely fair and balanced, *will* lead
someone to the correct choice.

And, good morning to you, sir. I've been playing with my camera. I haven't
figured out how to view a NEF (RAW) file with Irfanview, although Adobe
seems to handle it. I may go see if there are any free updates to
IrfanView.

If there is not a RAW add in for InfanView, Picasso does view RAW and is
also free. You can also download a NEF Viewer from Microsoft so you
will be able to view them in "My Pictures".

I dunno. It is not easy trying to handicap the GOP side this year,
because almost all of them seem to be clones of each other or far-out
religiosos or nutcases. The only one I have any respect for is John McCain.

McCain is an idiot. There are issues from McCain's past that will be
brought up if he somehow becomes the Republican nominee.

Gee, Bert, which candidate doesn't have "issues" in his or her past?

That's too bad. He's probably the only candidate who's suggested using the
bully pulpit to ask Americans to make sacrifices in order to reduce our
dependence on oil. All the rest are pussies in this regard.

You or someone else will now say that McCain wants to "control what you
buy", but that's bull****.

One wonders who "Bert" supports. My guess would be the deadhead, Fred
Thompson.

What cracks me up is the MSM pushing Huckabee and McCain, all they
want is to have the weakest candidate run against Hillary, they have
zero credibility.. And they complain about FOX because they allow both
sides a pulpit...

I don't see where the MSM is pushing Huck or McCain. Huckabee has built
up quite a bit of strength in the Iowa polling, and we'll see how that
translates on caucus day. I read where he was also doing well in one of
the Carolinas. Apparently he does well among the simple-minded religious
fundamentalist Republicans. He can have them, all of them.

If he is the GOP nominee, he will be slaughtered by either Hillary or
Obama.

I like McCain because unlike *all* the other GOP wannabe's, he has some
national experience, understands foreign policy, and is opposed to
torture. The rest of the GOP pack knows no more about foreign policy
than I do, and that is a scary proposition.

Of course, Americans seem to like foreign-policy idiots in the White
House. We have one there now. Bush knew nothing about foreign policy
when he got into office and now, after nearly seven years, it is obvious
he still knows nothing.

Is that a problem?
