Everything I write is as myself, as a regular person...well, almost everything.

"At least perhaps we can suggest that neither side of the political aisle is the sole holder of any moral high ground."

I never said otherwise. In fact, I have spent a great deal of time in my blogging attacking Democrats I differ with. I have already made that point more than once, so please stop ignoring it.

I am partisan because as a scientist, as a father and as a human being I see one party as HUGELY superior to the other on almost every level. But not perfect. I criticize where I see criticism appropriate and I praise where I see appropriate. Period. That goes for both parties. If you see me praising one over the other, there is a good reason for it.

As far as Clinton lying about getting a blow job, there is no equivalency between that and Bush's lying to get us into a war. None. Clinton should have said "none of your business," but that would have been politically unacceptable. But really, lying about getting a blow job doesn't kill anyone and in no way damaged America. Bush lying to get us into a war has led to thousands of deaths and has damaged our reputation, split our alliances and sucked money out of our nation for nothing but a pack of lies. This is the kind of false equivalency that I object to. The old "but Clinton lied about a blow job" excuse never was logical to me and never will be. I personally don't care that Clinton lied about a blow job. It makes no difference to America whether he did or not. It DOES make a difference to his family, but it is a private matter. Bush's lies were very much affecting the public and the world. So I refuse to consider them even vaguely comparable.
