Is there any way to coax you and others here from disnissing observation and analysis as a form of bias?

The observations and analysis you refer to are simply the opinions of people who don't like Bush.
Many of these posts are from people who didn't vote for Bush and never would. They may consider their biases justified and many will claim to have been Bush supporters once (sure) but no more. I've seen posts calling Bush 'Worse than Clinton'. No bias there? Please.

You may call it what you will, justify it any way you please and even attempt to claim objective analyzer status for these posters but it's still bias and quite obvious, at that.

I reserve the right to both disagree with and characterize the anti-Bush people as I see them. That right cuts both ways so I see no reason to apologize or change tactics.

Please don't lump me in with "Bush haters" and call my disappointment "bias". My bias is for conservative values, not against Bush. My criticism of him is legitimate, based upon his conceding too much to the liberals. To vote aginst him in '04 because of his failings, however, would be folly.
