Being impartial: that’s all the American people want even if they are too misguided to know that they will receive the opposite.

All of these descriptions also apply to the dumb American voters who have repeatedly voted for all those things.

Jesse Helms was a good man. He he gladly took all the heat for his cowardly fellow Republicans.

They do not care what the Democrats did to President Bush’s nominees.

The American population has been hopelessly dumbed down.
