[Dick Bachert]

Conservatives have a well-deserved reputation for shooting their wounded for the simple reason that we TRY to set a higher standard than the "dark side." Because we are human -- and sinners -- we frequently fail.

The dark side tolerates virtually ANY behavior from their members: Drowning young women in cars then fleeing the scene, pay-offs for the state to look the other way as slaughterhouse waste befouls the countryside disguised as cattle futures trading profits, assaulting women, getting hummers in the Oval Office, perjury, etc., etc...

[Cathryn Crawford]

I know...but we judge too, too quickly.
